This universe is a fantastical and frightening place. On one planet there's a chance of them running across the Cephylia, a peaceful race of amphibious aliens who communicate through 'song' and wish to travel space to find more water-based planets to call their home. On another planet there's a chance of stumbling across the machinations of the strange and eerie Essentialist, a group of mysterious and ancient aliens that are more Lovecraftian than extraterrestrial in both their design and their approach to the universe. This universe is known officially as the Nadir Cluster and is always changing, always becoming something else entirely thanks to the large, large cast of characters that call this universe their home.
One of the most important events that happened in the Nadir Cluster is the Legacy War. After overthrowing their colonisers, the Essentialists, the mecahnoid race known as the Galateions soon devolved into a long and bloody war when an argument between what to do next and an assassination of an important rebel leader caused the revolutionaries to splinter into two distinct groups - The Automatons and the Dreadroids. The war will span for centuries, planets, and galaxies.
The Automatons will win the war in the year 2063 but the consequences of this war are staggering. Worlds are left barren and uninhabitable thanks to Dreadroids' reckless raiding and pillaging for precious resources. Over a quadrillion lives are lost from the warfare, many of them being non-combatants from other worlds that got caught in the crossfire. Races are now inherently suspicious of any Galateion they see, believing any individual fuelled by arc fuel and energy are monsters.
The year is now 2238 and while the Legacy War is considered over, the repercussions for the space-wide war is still being felt. Galateon, the home planet of Galateions, is still undergoing the process of becoming habitable again thanks to the hands on help of the first settlers, the Wandering Wonders. Earth, the final battlegrounds for the Automatons and Dreadroids' decisive battles, has become a major player in the complicated politics of the galaxies, thanks to being rich in creathil crystals that is essential for Galateions and other races.
Three major powerhouses - NODICE, the Order of Black Hollows, and The Galactic Union of Worlds - were founded in response to end of the war. NODICE is an independent organisation that focuses on rapid response and intergalactic emergency involving alien lifeforms on Earth. The Order of Black Hollows - home to its famous military arm known as the Hollowed Company - is dedicated to upholding the post war Treaty of Pax Orbis and helping refugees find a home. The Galactic Union of Worlds is an interstellar organisation that's tasked to promise cooperate amongst the members along with creating and maintaining order.
Most galaxies are still wary of the sight of a Galateion, the sight of the mechanoids bringing painful memories to organic and non-organic races alike. It'll be a long time before the scars of war are healed and forgiven.
