I just came up with something and wanted to hear your thoughts.

So, my faction is the Metal Menace, and I was trying to figure out things about their origins.

How does this sound?

So the humans were being hunted by the Krell and the Rin, and they wanted to escape to the third galaxy. So they built a self replicating machine to build an army and hopefully slow down the invaders. And it worked!

Sort of...

The robots were powerful, but the krell and the rin were very numerous. The robots found themselves vastly outnumbered.

The blasts from the krell weaponry could be heard on the other side of the star system. The rin bulletstorm stretched from one end of the system to the other.

But the krell and rin's victory was short lived, for their numbers were reduced. They still had such power to chase down the humans, but the Watchmen of the stars blockaded them.

But what they didn't see?

Out of the ashes, the remaining robots rose. There was less than twenty robots, but they held the determination of machines and the iron will of, well, iron.

Every time the Menace has grown too strong, the Empires have fought them, and they were ashes once more. So far, this has happened twice.

The building up is slow, but the determination of the Menace is like steel.
