The Cybernetics are a nation of machines and the controllers of the Cybernetic Empire. They were first constructed by a Nurian named Quaret, a brilliant scientist of the planet. He wanted to try and create machines that could do the Nurians' work for them. However, he made them too advanced, and in the end they rebelled and took control of a number of planets themselves. Now, the Nurian and Cybernetic empires are locked in an unending civil war.
