| - The Strada Brac was created in ancient times by the Vardians - the most aggressive and dangerous race in the Migar system. Realizing the potential danger such a weapon could cause, the Migar council (presumably comprised of Cirronians and other Migar species) decided to steal the device before the Vardians could use it. They seemingly succeeded and placed the device inside a drone-ship, before sending it to the edge of the galaxy - where the Strada Brac exploded harmlessly...or so they thought. The truth was, however, that the Vardians were aware that the Migar council would want to stop them using such a device and had switched the Strada Brac with a replica - which the Migar council had then stolen. Taking the real Strada Brac as they realized the council would work out what had actually happened, the Vardians began searching for a planet they could hide the weapon until they were ready to use it. The planet they chose turned out to be Earth - which was still (as Cole/Daggon described it) "a sleepy little rock" at the time - it wasn't very advanced and posed no threat. It's assumed the Vardians visited Earth during the Ancient Egyptian times as Nestov mentions Cleopatra and that he heard she was a 'hot chick' when Cole is recounting the story to both Nestov and Mel. The Vardians landed in what would later become Chicago - burying the device deep underground in a metal safe that was sealed with a key (a metal triangle with ancient Vardian symbols on it). The safe was also fitted with another feature so that when the Vardians came back to reclaim the weapon, the safe would shut permanently after the weapon was removed. To ensure they would find its location, the Vardians also made several maps - some of which were stored on Earth (such as one that was hidden in an Egyptian artifact) and others taken back to Varda. Sure enough, the Migar council realized what had been done and - in a plan to stop the Vardians from later retrieving the weapon - the Cirronians traveled to Earth themselves and began a plan to create 'bloodlines'. The plan involved the Cirronians interbreeding with humanity to create Human/Cirronian hybrids, who would hopefully later become the protectors of the Strada Brac. The Cirronians would continue to visit Earth in the years that followed - seemingly been responsible for many different 'mysteries' such as the Egyptian Pyramids, the Easter Island statues and Stonehenge among others. Back in the Migar system, the story of the Strada Brac faded into myth as the years went on. Among the descendants of the bloodlines was Mel, who had inherited her dormant Cirronian powers from her Grandfather while both her Grandparents had been visited by Cirronians in the past. Mel's Grandmother - who unknowingly owned a police bar called the Watchfire over the location where the Strada Brac was buried - was given the 'Key' for the vault by the Cirronians who visited her (after they had seemingly found and stolen it from the Vardians, despite still not knowing the Strada Brac's location) as well as a translation of the keys symbols - which Mel's grandmother wrote down in her diary.
