The Ninetyfourseven have been discovered by the Eternals over 12,000 years ago while the Eternals were exploring the Dwarf galaxy. The Eternals had designated the system GUH 9047 not knowing that the third planet was occupied by a pre industrial sentient species of hominides. The Ninetyfourseven considered the Eternals to be gods and decided to use the designation of their gods instead of their original self designation. The Eternals assisted the Ninetyfourseven developing and gain FTL technology. To this day the Ninetyfourseven consider the Eternals their benefactorial gods. And proudly use the name Ninetyfourseven.

They based their wholen culture around this first visit and the subsequent contacts. They count the years since the first Eternal visit. Their priests dress up like Eternals, they base their math on the number 9. Buildings, fashion and design is heavilyb influenced by the Eternals.

The Ninetyfourseven are bi sexual, males court females and the marriage is forever. However the couple can invite love interests into the family circle. Male or female and the invitation can be issued by either or both and joined. The invitation usually lasts a life time and there is technically no limit as how many invitations are issued. The largest circle on record has Ninetyfour members, but that is the exception. Circles are usually three to four members.

Technologically the Ninetyfourseven are about as advanced as the Kermac in the Union universe. They are on TL 7 for a long time,no real advances towards TL 8 have been made in thousands of years which is explained that their advance was eternally induced and they reached TL 7 faster than they would have on their own. The Ninetyfourseven technology is very solid. Not all but most Ninetyfourseven are psionically gifted. (90% of the population) most are telekinetic talents in the 10-100 kilo manipulation range. Despite the relative high number of HPI and the many talents, telepathy is rare and teleportation is unknown. Experts believe the Eternals actually manipulated the DNA to make sure the Ninetyfourseven did not continue to develop telepathic powers. The Ninetyfourseven stand about 170 cm tall.
