Fiction:The Dark Ones

"They threaten our lives, our planets, our very existence. They are the greatest threat I have ever seen in years and they will not be denied violence. '''

-General Spearing

The Dark Ones are a huge empire, possibly the most most powerful empire to ever exist in this galaxy. They are the only race to truly rival the Grox and perhaps even surpass them. They have armies of slaves, allies, and weaponry at their disposal. Their goals are simple, their plans complex. They want to destroy all life, and make it again through life that is completely loyal to them, that they create. They also want to destroy the Staff of Life, so that any empires cannot restore planets to life once they have eradicated it.

History
The Dark Ones were first by Master Alpha, a synaid, a race that have their bodies completely made up by worms, with a one mind they all follow. Alpha wanted the entire galaxy for himself, but figured he could not do it alone, a rallied other synaids with similar ideals. They created the Dark Ones and quickly made an alliance with the brutish and easily manipulated Tuchras, for the synaids knew they were not soldiers and needed another race to fight for them. The Dark Ones soon also made the Curth, animals created from a gene-pool and grown to astounding ferocity and fitted with weapons and sometimes turned into techno-organic cyborgs. The Dark Ones first target was the Seven Staar Alliance, the alliance of "good" races, that could pose a threat to them. Alpha lead the charge on an Alliance space station, the Bronze Age, and made his presence known to Captains and the Alliance. The Seven Staar Alliance thought the Dark Ones were simply another arrogant empire out to destroy the Alliance. But the Dark Ones proved they were so much more, easily destroy the ships that attacked them and crippled the space stations power supply. Sending in the Tuchras to finish off the Alliance, Alpha gave a hideous laugh and mocked the Alliance as fools and idiots, people who tried to maintain order in a universe of chaos and destruction. Suddenly, a fleet of Hermicee came in, who had little love for the Alliance, but wanted another to give them "moneez" and destroy it if need be. Surprised at the sudden assualt, and the surprising power of Hermciee ships, the Dark One ships were destroyed and most retreated on Alphas order. However, Alpha's own ship was hit multiple times by the Hermicee, who jeered and giggled at Alpha's plight. The Hermicee moved in to capture Alpha so they could torture him later, but Alpha activated the self-destruct and consumed himself and the Hermicee fleet. In the aftermath, the Seven Staar Alliance placed the Dark Ones as their highest priority.
