7s [Music]
17s more than six decades after the start of
20s the new age there remained no single
22s force with the power or will to claim
25s dominance over the galaxy
26s instead entire nations were slowly
29s ensnared within an intricate web of
31s interstellar politics competing
34s alliances and Federation's had formed
36s wars and conflicts had upended entire
39s star systems and utopian ideals had been
42s cast aside when presented with far more
44s tangible pragmatic opportunities too
48s many however the United powers of the
50s fifth interstellar seemed on the
52s precipice of becoming the first true
54s superpower together the union of supreme
58s synthetic Republic's the socialist assha
60s hey to her public the cooperative
62s commune of crustacean planets and the
64s asphodel anarchist collective
65s represented the most powerful economic
68s and military force within the galaxy but
71s divisions within their coalition had
73s already begun to form fierce ideological
76s debates erupted and soon turned violent
79s when it was realized the divide between
81s synthetics and organics might never be
83s bridged the USSR renounced their
86s obligations to the fifth interstellar
88s and were declared class traders by its
90s remaining members as the galaxy reeled
94s from this upheaval the termeh to die
95s collective saw a chance to regain what
98s they had lost their hive mind declared
101s war on the weakened fifth interstellar
103s and in the battle of mothers lament Bree
105s took the world of wegg more and with it
107s the primitive Zach plot people reluctant
110s to engage in a full-scale war so soon
113s after the near collapse of their
114s coalition the SRR and CCCP agreed to an
118s armistice after a series of indecisive
120s engagements
121s as more of the galaxy descended into
124s chaos the whole belton kingdoms
127s celebrated the discovery of a world
128s unrivaled in its beauty seen as proof of
132s the divine they began to colonize its
134s surface yet the whole evil tin kingdom
137s was not the only power in the galaxy to
140s consider this world a spiritual place
142s thus in Wrath guardians revered its
145s surface as hallowed ground and declared
147s a holy war on the belton people an
150s ancient power that commanded the destiny
153s of the galaxy far before the arrival of
155s the younger races
156s thus in Wrath guardians was a nation
158s against which the holy belton kingdom
160s could not compete with no other choice
162s they surrendered their leadership was
165s executed and their kingdom was left
167s humiliated and humbled but spared
170s spiritually broken the Vulcan Kingdom
172s declared their God to be one of malice
174s and not worthy of their devotion all
177s across the galaxy
179s the delicate peace that had endured
181s began to unravel the ung and its
184s Federation's progress against the dredge
186s was halted once within striking distance
188s of the dredges homeworld the conflict
191s had deteriorated into a war of attrition
193s neither side was willing to endure the
196s peace that followed left resentment on
198s both sides and the cupid her technocracy
200s withdrew from the UN jeeze Federation in
203s disgust meanwhile once again the way
206s declared their own holy war against the
209s Omni codex assisted in battle by the
211s fleets and armies of reflects ink in a
214s stunning victory the allies prevailed
217s and the Omni codex was dismantled their
220s worlds were divided between the victors
221s and the Omni codex reduced to a memory
224s the rivalry and conflict that had
227s defined their region of the galaxy was
229s finally over
230s the USSR now free of the restraining
233s hand of the fifth interstellar put into
235s motion its own plans to extend its will
238s no longer fully capable of
240s differentiating various organic species
242s however it declared war on the qubit or
244s technology and cyber equestrian
246s collective while simultaneously
248s proclaiming its intentions to liberate
250s the ung this programming error left
253s thousands dead and the synthetic
255s Republic's were able to claim to systems
257s from the Koopa tour before they realized
259s they had declared war on the wrong
260s species such events were mere
263s trivialities to the cyber equestrian
265s collective in both war and peace
268s they remained fixated on the guiding
270s wisdom of the worm which had finally
272s arrived
273s deep within the collective space to the
276s rest of the galaxy however the union of
278s supreme synthetic Republic's represented
280s a clear and present danger even without
283s its former allies it remained one of the
285s most powerful nations in the galaxy
287s while its erratic behavior worried its
290s neighbors in an unprecedented act direct
293s talks began between the ung Federation
296s and the 5th interstellar both now
298s committed to restraining the actions of
300s the synthetic Republic's as the first
303s century of the new age drew to a close
305s the fifth interstellar declared war on
307s the synthetic Republic and their new
309s allies the increasingly cybernetic
311s equestrian collective the initial
313s attacks launched by the asphodel
315s anarchist collective were largely
316s ineffective and even the entry of the
319s Val teen kingdom was not enough to turn
321s the tide
321s the valeton kingdom quickly ended its
324s role in the conflict exchanging two star
326s systems in return for peace
328s the fifth interstellar fought on alone
331s yet bright spots in the galaxy remained
334s within the borders of the two cardian
336s utopia a project of immense scale began
339s an artificial habitat one large enough
342s to surround an entire star system was
345s slowly put into place
347s this would be the defining element of
349s the so called utopia declaration with
352s the to card Ian's proclaiming their
353s commitment to the peace and happiness of
355s their citizenry the crime lords known as
358s the family meanwhile continued to spread
361s their influence to every corner of the
363s galaxy even as far as the distant worlds
366s of the way where the family arrived
368s corruption followed and even the most
371s brutal attempts to remove their
372s influence achieved only partial success
375s faced with an entire galaxy filled with
378s what they considered heathens and
380s deviants the way proclaimed a new
382s Federation formed with two nations that
384s until now had remained on the sidelines
387s of galactic politics the flarg all star
390s gazers a civilization dedicated to
392s awaiting the return of their messiah
394s flick hoshi Cargill known as the veiled
396s one together with the bose ionian
398s brotherhood a species gifted with
400s seemingly supernatural psionic powers
402s now stood together as the council of
404s seekers above all they aboard the
407s machine empires of the universe and
409s dedicated the new alliance to their
411s complete destruction
413s their hatred was perhaps justified
416s across the galaxy v interstellar had
419s made precious little progress against
421s the USSR or the cyber equestrian
423s collective but in a single daring attack
426s all that changed utilizing a natural
429s pathway through space-time known perhaps
431s someone ironically as a wormhole the SRR
434s mounted a surprise attack against the
436s cyber equestrians numerous systems were
439s seized and both sides agreed to a
441s ceasefire with the war over the asphodel
444s anarchist collective now dedicated
446s itself to the construction of a true
448s Akuma Napoles utterly transforming the
451s surface of their homeworld they were not
454s alone the worlds of the USSR had
457s likewise been converted not into
459s gleaming planet white cities the cold
461s machine grids within which countless
463s synthetic drones endlessly toiled with
466s few nations willing to oppose them and
468s those that did unable to contain their
470s spread the synthetic Republic's now rose
472s to a position of prominence above all
475s others in the galaxy but it was in a
478s remote corner of the galaxy from which
480s the greatest threat in recent memory
481s would arise the Pels credo nyan
484s freeholders a loose collection of war
486s bands and warring factions were now
488s united under the gaya
489s charisma and military genius of a single
492s great kong now calling themselves the
495s pelt spread oni and horde they moved to
497s expand their borders in numbers never
499s before imagined the worlds of the bose
502s ionian brotherhood were the first to
503s fall wholly unprepared for an assault of
506s this magnet
507s the council of seekers masked for a
509s counter-attack but even their combined
511s forces were hardly a match for Khan to
515s the valeton kingdom the rise of the
517s Great Khan was further proof that God
519s was cruel as the fleet's of the Horde
521s encroached on their borders the kingdom
523s surrendered they pledged their support
525s to bolster the Khan's war machine and
528s delivered to him unopposed passage
530s across their space
532s the first great challenge of the new age
535s has arrived to some it represents the
538s greatest threat of their brief existence
540s to others salvation from the cruel
543s realities of the universe to others
545s however the Great Khan is merely an
547s opportunity from which to upend the
550s established order and bring about
551s unfathomable change there are forces
554s across the galaxy that have yet to make
556s their move and their time might finally
559s have arrived
