Vineans evolved many eras before humanity. Their homeworld was an Earth-like planet orbiting a binary star system. When the two suns (one blue, one orange) approached each other, they started emanating their coronas towards each other (a phenomenon similar to what could be considered a double nova). This made the surface of Vinea uninhabitable and forced its inhabitants to seek refuge underground. They later managed to construct a fleet of ships that would transport their population in suspended animation to new worlds.
