Complete history :
1. The Myth of the Great Coalition
Long time ago, in a part of the Universe, a great organization called the Great Coalition existed, involving thousands of civilizations coexisting peacefully, by trading and by sharing with each other their cultural and scientific discoveries. Their goal was simple and their target was unique: to understand the workings of the universe. Because of its complexity, only a close and honest collaboration could allow to penetrate all its mysteries.
To improve the contact between them, the Great Sages (the best minds of that time, each representing one of the planets in the coalition) developed the Space Portal, a device allowing travelling instantaneously from one planet to another, even through the galaxies! This system was incredibly complex: it was composed by a platform generating what they called a quantum field (a small space between two portals where we could see the other planet and go there by crossing the field). The portal uses the energy of the sub-space to work, an energy source that had previously been controlled for the working of other devices.
This philosophy and lifestyle were the basis of a long peace that lasted for millennia. Unfortunately, a small group of worlds wanted to question the established order. Indeed, for several centuries, this system was no longer able lead to major technological advances. For the Crusaders (name that was given in reference to the Crusades that they led), it was time for a change of philosophy in order to advance to their goal. For the Great Coalition, the encounter difficulties seemed logical: the more knowledge were accumulated, the more it was difficult to learn others.
2. Crusader war against Great Coalition
The differences became more and more strong and a terrible war ensued. The rebels were certainly less numerous, but they were prepared to fight, unlike the Great Coalition. Indeed, the strategy of the Crusaders had been predetermined and well-organized, while the Great Coalition was attacked by surprise. The war lasted nearly a hundred years.
Most of the Great Sages were murdered by the Crusaders in order to prevent their enemies from developing new weapons and war spaceships. The Great Coalition, overtaken by events and the many political and military failures, was gradually disintegrated.
Deprived of their best scientists and the necessary infrastructure, it became impossible to continue the fight. Worse, most of their knowledge had been lost or would be in the future as a result of the war. For these people, there was no more than one possible solution: the last chance to survive was to flee. Drawing conclusions from the failure of the coalition, some people decided to exile, to return to previously abandoned galaxies and break all links with their past. Their main goal was gradually abandoned face to the new challenges to the survival of their civilization.
3. Contemporary Period
Thus the greatest story of our universe was forgotten and became a myth, a legend among many others. Peoples developed separately and their main goal became simply the wish to live and defend itself against possible enemies. Hundreds of years later, during excavations on your planet, you rediscover the best evidence of the truth of this story: the Space Portal, hidden by your ancestors to forget the sad fate of their civilization almost disappeared.
Today, the peoples, all isolated from each other, have only personal and competitor goals, forcing them to protect against the others.
Burgeoning the mastery of space travel, you are trying to find your place in the universe that is now accessible and you go to its conquest, exploring and seeking to discover its mysteries. Open a new page of history by participating in major battles and by impose yourself to all your enemies.
