The Lemurians were the citizens of Lemuria, an artificial habitat created by NFT in the Black Sea. Most of the population resided in the metropolis called the Citadel of Life, which now lays in ruins east of the Glowing Canine. They used various marine vessels for transport, ranging from small jet skis to large freighters and submarines, used to access underwater NFT facilities. All Lemurians were implanted with RFID chips that contained their personal and medical information, tracked their location and allowed to access their personal financial accounts.

As a result of a great war with Biocorp roughly two hundreds and fifty years ago, all Lemurians were killed.

Some of the higher ranking members of Lemurian Government such as Theodore Newman, last minister of technology, have managed to flee to the Abyssal Station Zero, an underwater station in the Creeper's Bay inhabited by Subislanders, immigrants from Atlantis which was another habitat created by NFT somewhere far away from Lemuria. Unlike Atlanteans, Lemurians were however not fit for the living conditions there and as a result, suffered from various health problems such as short life expectancy and infertility. Need for special accommodation, medication and artificial means of reproduction has with time became a growing problem. Being accustomed to the conditions of the station, native population started to become resentful of Lemurian population, considering them to be a burden and an obstacle to the future of the station.

Tensions started to grew between the two people, culminating in the majority of Subislanders separating themselves from Lemurians inside R&D dome. Then, about a century ago, the gates to the R&D dome opened and armed Subislanders - Disunionists - started to pour out, dressed in clothes desribed as horrifying and speaking in the old Atlantean language. Disunionists began a massacre, killing any Lemurian they could find as well their own family members who refused to join them. Then, they left the station, using pre-war subspheres. They left corpses and desolation behind them, leaving only about twenty or so survivors, mostly native Lemurian and about three disjointed Subislander families.

In the years following the Disunion, population of the station began to steadily fall, with Lemurians being often incapable of producing children. Today, only one person can be found in the Abyssal Station still alive - Todd, the last Lemurian.
