Osiran

The Osirians (also known as Osirans) are a race of powerful and intelligent humanoids.



Physical Characteristics
Osirians, despite their name, look somewhat like depiction of Set. They have grey skin, donkey-like heads with large, square ears and bright green eyes. Osirians have advanced psychic powers, including mental projection and telepathy. They can also live for thousands of years. (DW: Pyramids of Mars)

Technology
Osirians have very advanced, but stylized technology. For example, Osirian service robots were wiry robots powered by a cytronic particle accelerator. They had immense strength and could be controlled by a special ring. These robots were wrapped up in specially treated wrappings which gave them the appearances of mummies.

Other Osirian technology includes a force field created by generator loops in "canopic jars", Time Tunnels embedded in a sarcophagus and technology activated by certain signs. Despite the unusual design, the Osirians are thought to have technology as powerful, if not more powerful, then the Time Lords. (DW: Pyramids of Mars)


 * It is unknown if the Osirians inspired Egyptian styles, or vice versa. It is possible that the technology was designed to fit in with other, more mundane items in ancient Egypt.

History
Approximately 7,000 years ago, Phaester Osiris was ruled by Horus and Sutekh. At some point, Sutekh went bad and started a reign of destruction, starting with Phaester Osiris. He was feared throughout the galaxy and was on the way to even defeat the Time Lords. The 740 remaining Osrians, led by Horus, were finally able to stop him on Earth. Instead of killing him, they trapped Sutekh in a Egypt, having a pyramid on Mars relay a beam to paralyse him. The defeat of Sutekh led to the creation of Egyptian myths about their gods.

By 1911, Sutekh was finally discovered and was able to control Marcus Scarman. He used Marcus Scarman and several Service Robots to construct a missile, with which he would destroy the pyramid on Mars. (DW: Pyramids of Mars)
