Known History
The world that spawned Fire Ant's civilization is a roughly Earthlike planet, orbiting a K-type orange dwarf star some sixty degrees spinward of Sol and 25,000 lightyears out from the galactic core (thus placing it on the order of 25,000 lightyears from Earth as well). Some time ago (Fire Ant still has difficulties with Terran units of time), this world came under attack from the Qularr. Over ninety percent of its surface was devastated in the ensuing combat; Fire Ant represents the majority of the planet's survivors. They did manage to drive the Qularr away eventually. The group now known as Fire Ant gave chase in their lone surviving starship.
Eventually, it tracked the Qularr mothership to Earth, arriving shortly after the Champions, with the assistance of a small group of apprentice heroes, managed to shoot the mothership down, bringing it to its current resting place in the Detroit River. Knowing that its enemies were probably still somewhere on Earth, albeit now scattered, Fire Ant offered its services to protect the human race, which it has come to admire.
