Creature:Gardeili

"Our creators made us for one purpose; to serve. We serve Spode, we serve our allies, and we serve those who need us. It was through bloodshed our race was born, and through peace that we find our lives. This, honor, family and respect, that makes the Gardeili what we are."

- Supreme Lord Loda'Gadem.

The Gardeili are one of the many creations and one of the many that are members of the  and. Strong and loyal, the Gardeili once where servants of a corrupt group called the Prophets of Hun'gora. After their Betrayal, the Gardeili assumed leadership of their empire and the many races within it, and tried to reform themselves.

Close allies of fellow creations, the Ugandalorians, Gardeili place emphasis on family and tradition, like their allies, but are a little more reserve, and not so extremely liberal like the Ugandals.

Creation
The Gardeili began as 1 race, along with their genetic cousins, the Cogenili and Sholtanar, and where created with the hopes of creating a powerful warrior race that would help protect the other creations and races the Multus Esse had guided on the path of knowledge and enlightenment. With their growing empire, the Multus hoped to raise the Gardeili, and many other races, on the large station where they created, Ataro, and use them as soldiers. They held great hope with their creations, as they envisioned the Gardeili as the leaders of the races, being strong in body and mind. However, with the rise of the, and their revolt against their creators, the Multus, fearing the Alpha Grox might find Ataro, sent out their creations and seeded them across planets all over the Mirus, where they could not be found by their treasonous brothers. Unfortunately, the Multus, fearing their creations might be found if centered on too many worlds, spread them out on 3 planets. The Gardeili had a fate just like the others, with they be put on the planet Gardeilios, their home, Cogneilios, home of the Cogenili, and Shalosero, home of the Sholtanar race.

While the 3 started out the same, each would evolve differently in each other sectors. One by one, each would evolve new traits. The Gardeili would become the strongest, possessing the greatest power that each race could afford. The Cogenili would become master essence sages, and the Sholtanar would a balance in strength and intelligence.

Rise to Power
The Gardeili where the second to evolve, and rapidly became a space-faring race, crafting massive ships from the technology created by the Multus Esse. They believed this weaponry and ship material left behind as scared, and, thanks to the preaching of traveling space faring races, took it to be gifts from Spode and his messengers. With this, the Gardeili left the atmosphere of their scared homeworld, establishing their first colonies when they came across another race. A small race, called the Utuno. While small and frail, the Gardeili where impressed by how they had survived the great cold of their planet, and, after study, finding they too had the scared metal, and had heard the preachings of Spode worshippers, took them under their wing, and became The Alliance. However, the Gardeili also became aware of another race, the Kag'tar, making war upon the Utuno. Angered at their heresy, the Gardeili lead a fleet against the Kag'tar, and, after a surprisingly long battle, destroyed one of their satellite bases.

After finally confronting the Kag'tar at their home world, the Gardeili discovered that the Kag'tar also held the scared metals within their homeworld, and, after much conversation between the Gardeili Leaders and Kag'tar Pirates Princes, an agreement was meet by the group, allying the 3 together.

With this, the Gardeili began finding either other creations, or other races who followed the believe in Spode. All seemed well.

Rise of the Unified Nations
As the Gardeili came under the leadership of a influential Clan leader named Odos'Gadem, they soon found one last species of Spode. While weak and frail, their minds where of great power, and held mighty telepathic abilities, which they claimed where gifts from Spode and his messengers. Amazed, the Gardeili agreed to a treaty with them, finally becoming the Unified Nations of Spode and becoming a mighty empire across many sectors.

As the Gardeili expanded with the Nations, they came into contact with their Cogneili brothers, and their own nation, the Brotherhood of Spode, and it's own members, who where eerily similar to the Nations. While seeking more contact, the commander who contacted them,, was ordered to report back to the Prophets of Hun'gora, and contact was severed between the 2. After this, the Prophets revealed to the other members the betrayal of a race called the s, and told the others that, while creations of Spode, like themselves, they had betrayed Spode by attempting to destroy the relics left behind by his messengers. The Gardeili at first where shocked that a warrior nation, much like their own, could behave so dishonorably, many began to prepare their families and clans for war against the traitors.

A few weeks later, the Gardeili leader, Odos, was executed for heresy against the Prophets, and his son, Loda, taken in for questioning. Angered that their leader was killed so quickly, and his son questioned before he could mourn, many Gardeili threatened to leave, and join the Ugandalorians against the Prophets. However, Loda calmed them down, insisting they must remain united in Spode's name. Rethinking their position, the Gardeili leaders agreed.

Power-struggle
After 2 years of waiting, the Gardeili made their move, leading a sneak attack on the Ugandalorian planet of Balcora. In what became known as the Balcora massacre, the Gardeili and their forces clashed viciously with the Ugandalorians and their allies from the Walgolorian and Kodalorian, fighting the Spode-forces for many dyas, until finally, their forces retreated, and the planet was nearly glassed, as a monument to Spode's divine righteousness.

As the Gardeili and the Ugandalorians clashed, the 2 found themselves respecting the other side, despite the fact they where at war. Many Prophets warned the Gardeili of dealing with such heretics, though the Gardeili maintained their purity. However, many soon began to find evidence that the Ugandalorians had not been desecrating artifacts of Spode, and in fact, where creations of the Multus Like themselves. While some Ugandalorians, like the ones from planet Kojaros, joined the UNOS, most found their sneak attack dishonorable, though still remained adamant in proving they where not blasphemers to the Gardeili.

After uncovering evidence that Prophets where lying and, in fact, servants of a race of cybernetic enslavers called The Leviathan, the Gardeili began to discreetly move against them, and, after confronting the Targarous, their rivals for the Prophets' attention, and gaining them as allies, the Gardeili, with a truce with the Ugandalorians and their allies, moved against the Prophets and killed them, the leader of the Gardeili, Loda, striking the killing blow against the Prophet leader.

Reformation
After the death of the Prophets, the Gardeili and the Targarous took it upon themselves to rebuild the UNOS into a better empire, and, after many years of hard working to rebuild their nations, the UNOS rejoined the galactic community, forging an even stronger with the Ugandalorains and their allies, and reestaplishing contact with the Brotherhood of Spode and began working to uncover the secrets behind their relations with the BOS. As they repaired the damage done to their state, and their member states, and helping repair the damage done to the other races, the Gardeili and Ugandalorians developed a close relationship, especially when many members of each joined the others state, with Gardeili joining the Ugandalorians in large communities, and the people of Korjaros allowed to stay with the Church.

The Gardeili themselves wanted to eagerly wanted to make up for the sins they had committed in the name of religion, and Gardeili religious leaders sought out priests of both Ugandalorian and Waptorian back-ground to gain a better understanding of their culture, and how they where not overtaken by zealotry, and found the 2 groups had the idea of allowing innovation and new ideas into their religious texts in order to keep up with the times. While not out-right accepting Mendel-Waptoria religious believes, they did accept that innovation and new ideas had to come, or they would be reduced back to their old state.

In order to improve relations, Gardeili, Targarous, and Mendel strike teams often worked together to stamp out potential servants of the Bachyeon Hive-Mind in back-water worlds. The policy seemed to work, as the sides saw the strength of each other, and their respect grew further as a result.

Culture
Gardeili are a deeply religious race, who, at one point put martial prowess above all matters of state. However, as they have become more bound by peace, science and food production have taken repsidence, and now the idea of being a farmer or Food-gatherer is seen as an equally high honor. Gardeili believe in honor and loyalty, and would never betray an ally in combat or peace. However, being betrayed by a comrade in battle or anything else marks the enemy as an eternal foe, and makes the Gardeili difficult to approach again.

Gardeili are highly protective of fellow members of the Church of Spode, and do not believe them subordinates, but equals in the field.

They are seen as a more calm alternitive to the Ugandals, as they are more reserved and more moderate then extreme liberal. Gardeili take a narrow view of essence and it's powers, seeing it as mere superstition and, even consider it heresy at times.
