A Human achieves transcendence.
Transcendence is a step in the evolution of sapient species in which members of a species abandon physical bodies to become beings of pure energy.[1][2]
With this achievement, members of the species gain vast knowledge of the universe and are able to freely travel in space without life support. They also become semi-immortal, potentially living for billions years but are still capable of being harmed or even killed by certain methods.
Transcendence is usually achieved through natural evolution, but at least one individual has achieved it through genetic and telepathic manipulation.
Known transcendent races and individuals
- First Born (billions of years ago)
- Vorlon (billions of years ago)
- Walkers of Sigma-957 (possibly billions of years ago)
- Other First Ones (possibly billions of years ago)
- Ralgan (circa 7800 B.C.)
- Human (sometime before 1002262)
- Minbari (sometime before 1002262)
