The planet Cymradia is ruled by the Cymradian Brain-Lords. They are highly intelligent and technologically advanced humanoids standing around 4 feet tall, with massive heads. However, they are a dying race, looking for new bodies. They initiated Project: Survival in which they abducted and tested various humanoid species from throughout the galaxy, in search of the most durable and compatible bodies to serve as hosts to their minds. They succeeded in both transferring their heads onto larger humanoid bodies, and transplanting their brains into human skulls. Eventually, the project was halted when the test subject, Futura, led a revolt against them. Many of the Brain Lords appeared to perish when a ship they were on crashed into a geyser of hot magma.
