The Ascendance Wars

Also known as the “Wars of Greeting”, this muddled campaign covered the entire galaxy, and resulted in the boundaries and government structures known today.

From the scattered planets and homes the various races of the galaxy had begun to explore, and began to encounter each other in brilliant and devastating clashes. Some, already with hundreds of planets under their banner, moved to expand while others staked out on their home-worlds in displays of defiance, refusing to be conquered on a whim of some far off ruler. From the Morn to the Vree, the Teriyor to the Khorlan and all caught in-between, the galaxy became nothing more than a proving ground, and the stars were bathed in the blood of star-ships and sentient beings alike.

When the death tolls became too high, and the people petitioned for peace, the rulers of the galaxy ended the conflict. In a peace treaty known as “The Treaty of Lyt”, the boundaries of controlled space were established, as well as the Galactic Leadership, in which all leaders of populated space would come together to solve problems. All total the war lasted 60 standard Orbits, a time measurement that would be established by the Galactic Leadership later on. An estimated 4 billion lost their lives in the war and its resulting destruction.
