Long long ago, a union of races known as the Elder Beings existed in a star system named Center One. They were the pinnacle of technological achievement, and the only way in and out of Center One was through a massive wormhole.

The Elder Beings never expanded their holdings to other star systems, for they felt they had no need. Alas, this would come to be their undoing. As magnificent as Center One was, even it could not last forever. The star grew unstable shockingly fast, and the Elder Beings arranged a mass exodus out of Center One before it went supernova. The Travelers, as they were now known, fled through the wormhole. Unfortunately, the wormhole too had grown unstable. Some of the Traveller species vanished outright, and the rest were deposited across the galaxy. Out of the eleven Traveler races, only seven survived the journey.

One of the Traveler races inhabited a planet called Antares, and as such became the Antarans. The Antarans were the most militant of the Center One races, The Antarans began sending probes out into the galaxy to locate their fellow Center One survivors. They found many forms of primitive life, and in time began to believe that they were superior to all other life. Eventually this led to the creation of a manifest destiny amongst them, and they developed into a rigid but effective military dictatorship.

However, in 1390 GC the Antarans began encountering their fellow Traveler tribes, discovering that they were just as advanced. This was a big blow to the collective Antaran ego. As it turns out, they were not the absolute most powerful beings in the galaxy. So they launched campaigns against their former Center One brothers, removing obstructions to their glory one by one. This worked, shockingly, and the Antarans soon removed five other Traveler races from existence. This, they believed, fully established their dominance in the Galaxy, and they set out to begin dominating the "primitive" other races.

But they missed something. Across the galaxy, another race of Travelers had settled on the planet Orion, and hence became known as the Orions. When the exodus from Center One occurred, all of the best scientists and engineers of the Orion species made it through, so they were far better off than any of their bretheren. They had turned their planet into a glorious utopia, and they reached out their welcomibng arms to the primitive races around them. They aided many of them in achieving ascendancy. But soon, the Orions learned of the sins of their treacherous bretheren, the Antarans. The kind-hearted Orions could not allow the Antarans to continue. And though the Orions were peaceful, they were not stupid. Their ships were advanced and powerful, and they went to stop the Antarans. The war was vicious between the two, but when the blinding flashes ceased, the Orion fleet stood victorious.

They utilized immense weaponry to destroy all of the Antarans' worlds, except for Antares itself. Then they opened up a wormhole and threw the Antares system into it and closed it, forever locking the Antarans away.

Then the Orions one day just up and left. They took everything that they could with them, except for Orion itself. The location of Orion was lost to the mists of time, and basically everything about the Orions was forgotten except for the fact that they existed.

And now, the only advanced life in the galaxy resides in the Orion sector, shielded from the repression of the Antarans and aided in ascension by the Orions. The Galactic Senate has been formed by the Trilarians, a group of aquatic peace-loving people who were the first to ascend with the aid of the Orions. They helped the younger races link together to form the Galactic Senate.

Each of you have claimed a species to take the role of, and here they are:

















Many of you have already claimed one of the above factions, but I can add more. All you must do is create your character as the leader of your race! For example, Berry would be Hindmost Dolenus, leader of the Darlok Empire. Malta would be President Jodie of the Human Federation. So on and so forth. Feel free to make a character template as you please. Each of you begins on your homeworld with a fleet of several scouting ships, some frigates, and a colony ship, with very basic and limited-range FTL drives. You'll use those to get from where you are now, to become a mighty galactic empire, and maybe even become a true...
