Jagaroth

The Jagaroth were an ancient race of advanced humanoids.

At some point in the distant past, the Jagaroth were involved in a war which nearly wiped out the species. Despite this, some of the Jagaroth were able to make it to the primordial Earth, having tracked a Racnoss energy signal, four hundred million years prior to the 20th century. Finding it unsuitable for habitation, they planned to leave the planet. However, their atmospheric thrust motors were damaged and inoperable, and they decided to take off using their warp-drive, against the advice of Scaroth, their warp-field operator. The attempt to do so deep failed, and the ship exploded. The massive burst of radiation generated by this explosion catalysed the development of life on Earth.
