Their purpose is also expanded upon in the novel Crysis Legion. The seeding ship found on Earth is thought to be the cause of the mass-extinction event at the time, and it was rendered inactive for an unknown period of time before becoming active again, gathering energy along with other Ceph devices across the planet to form a network.
The earliest record on them is that they arrived in the Solar System 65 million years ago along with multiple space vessels/seeding ships with unknown purpose (though the one on Earth is similar to a scientific outpost). The true origin and age of the Ceph is completely unknown. Their most recent activity prior to the events of the series occurred some 2 million years ago, after which they went into a dormant state until 1919, when Jacob Hargreave set in motion events in Tunguska that led to the eventual awakening of all Ceph lithoships across the Earth, though this began with minor activities and technology testing in the early 21st century until their complete awakening by the Korean People's Army on the Lingshan Islands. The Ceph on Earth originate from the Triangulum Galaxy, also known as "Messier 33", located in the constellation Triangulum, approximately 3 million light years from Earth.
Although there are several theories, it is speculated that they have been acting to prevent human degradation of the Earth's environment. They are hostile towards humanity and are waging what appears to be a war of extermination against them. The Ceph, short for Cephalopods, also known as the Charybdis, are a technologically advanced alien species who arrived on Earth approximately 65 million years ago and represent the primary antagonists of the Crysis series.
