The Velorpians were a violent and greedy race, and whenever one was killed, they would generate a hundred duplicates.
History
This led to overpopulation and fighting over precious resources.
The Psions offered great riches to the Velorpians to study their physiology. Based on this research, they created the Replicave.
Fearing the Velorpians' violent nature could wreak havoc upon the universe, the Psions introduced a virus to render them all sterile. The population decreased over time, with Lobo being the only survivor. He somehow retained his regenerating powers.[2]
