I just thought about this when I was reading..

Couldn't it be possible, that the Tenno were created as mindless soldiers by the Orokin to do their bidding?

If this were the case, the "sentients" that are mentioned could be Tenno that had become more than mindless puppets that do the Orokin's bidding. It could have been a small group of Tenno that had awakened at first (Perhaps even the Stalker?) and they would have begun to battle the Orokin to free their fellow Tenno. It could be possible that the Tenno were much stronger than the Orokin has intended to make them, especially since they started thinking for themselves. And, as more and more Tenno had become sentient, the Orokin were forced to (re)-create the Technocyte Virus in order to create monsters strong enough to defeat the Tenno.

However, not all went well with this plan, as the infested were hard to control, which left all three factions fighting at two sides. The already-weakened Orokin would have fallen quickly in battle without their mindless, Tenno bodyguards, leaving only two factions standing.

Stalker (The Lotus also, perhaps) could have possibly been the leader of the Tenno at one point. Or perhaps was a successful Tenno prototype (which would explain why he has the abilities of two warframes). However, he could have gotten infected by the Technocyte virus and ended up going insane, due to only being a prototype.

The Tenno could have dealt with the major threat of the infested and then all have gone into cryosleep. The Lotus could have also gone to a cryosleep, but have her pod open up every few years or so, in order to deem when it was neccessary for the Tenno to return, where she would (once again) act like a guide to them.

The Stalker could possibly be immortal (in the sense that he doesn't age) thanks to the Technocyte virus, which meant he didn't have to go into a cryosleep.

It's just a theory, but I think it makes at least some sense.
