What, pray tell, is an "Ur-Quan"?

quote from a star-control 2 site (taken from the manual I guess):

Physically, the Ur-Quan resemble the predatory caterpillar native to Earth's Hawaiian Islands, only grown to over ten meters in length. The Ur-Quan equivalent of a face is rich in sensory organs, and its expressions are varied and horrific. Aboard ship, these creatures cling to webbed ceilings with their back legs, dangling down over their controls and their slave-crew like hungry spiders.

Anyhow if you've never played star control 2, then go find a copy and play it now, it's IMHO the best game ever, (yes seIV comes second on my Favorites list...) Ten years old but with very decent graphics sound etc.
