Fiction:Dorado System

The Dorado System is an open cluster which hosts around 70 stars; 30 of which support fully-fledged solar systems. At least 6 of these solar systems host planets which are capable of supporting life. These planets are Verdanth, Cryos, Nocturna, Infinity, Zelem's Nexus, and Perceptum (alternatively known as Scaldron). The Crogenitors fled to the cluster and established their new capitol on Perceptum when their star began transforming into a red giant. The Dorado System is also the site of the Darkspore's creation, an event which threw the system into chaos and began a war between the Crogenitors and inhabitants of the system's planets, and the Darkspore.

''Note: This system is not part of Liquid Ink's Sombrero Galaxy. It is part of its own sovereign re-imagining of Darkspore, which takes place in its own universe.''

History
The system itself is at least as old as its oldest star, Wha-Nakto, which became a black hole several Earth decades after the Crogenitors colonized Perceptum, the system's only planet capable of supporting life which did not have life on it before it was colonized. The first planet in the system to support life was Nakto (now maintained as the artificial Zelem's Nexus), on which the first life appeared at least 29 million years before the events of Darkspore. Most living organisms on both Nakto and the system's other planets, as well as the startling similarities between the organisms of each planet, resulted in the rapid expansion of Crogenitor colonies, which sought to study the unusual rapidity of the evolutionary process on each planet as well as the apparent extreme case of convergent evolution. The Crogenitors also studied the unusual energies emanating from the planets, which had caused subtle effects in the genes of the organisms they supported. These studies led to the inception of the Genetic Heroes--genetically-modified members of each planet's sapient species with specific powers enabled by

After their creation, the Darkspore began seeding themselves on the planets known to support life throughout the system. This led to ecological disaster and the collapse of society, forcing a mass exodus from each planet with the aid of the last surviving Crogenitors and the Genetic Heroes. The Crogenitors and Heroes then began a long-term campaign to exterminate the Darkspore entirely.
