History
The Arcturans come from the planet Arcturus, which due to its two suns is in perpetual light. It is believed this caused the people to go mad and once they invented atomic weapons they nearly destroyed themselves. Following the war, only two factions remained - the Reavers and the Mutants. The mutants were peaceful but disfigured, something the Reavers would hate and hunt them for. Their technology level exceeds that of contemporary Earth's. In the 31st century, two of the best-known Arcturans are Starhawk and Aleta, members of the Guardians of the Galaxy.[2]
