"In \"Andromeda (TV series)\", the Paradine are a race described as being both evolved Vedrans, as well as the first race of sentient beings in the universe. Trance Gemini hypothesizes that the Paradine may have had a \"hand in its creation\". These contradictions are not resolved during the show's run. They are described as a race of beings who are ever present, especially at critical times in galactic history. The Fall of the Systems Commonwealth was considered such an event. According to Vedran legend, the Fall of the Systems Commonwealth was foretold, as was the coming of the Spirit of the Abyss and its legions of Magog. A threat of this magnitude spelled doom for all sentient species in the galaxies, unless they united. Another way to understand the Paradine is to take into account their ability to traverse space and time at will. They were literally just a step away from anywhere or anytime. But this ability was rarely used due to the complexities of Time Travel."@en . . . . . "Paradine"@en . .
