Chozo

The Chozo are an extinct sentient species that were once spread over several worlds in the Original Universe.

History
The Chozo were an advanced species that occupied several planets. One of these planets was SR389, where they mined protodermis to trade with the Great Beings. The Chozo eventually went extinct due to unknown circumstances, leaving the planets that they once owned uninhabited.

In 150,081 CMT, Perseus told Klak, D-Klak, Nadle, and Abneris that he had discovered that Uterian forces were en route to a former Chozo world named SR389, which prompted Nadle to comment that the Chozo had been dead for years. Abneris revealed that, as far as he was aware, the Chozo mined SR389 for protodermis to trade with the Great Beings.
