Fiction:Selten Galaxy

"Selten, a place of desolate and hellish worlds, and even more dangerous empires in the midst of all its bloodshed, Seltians, or Hendrans consider their home galaxy as a place of misfortune, What's worse is the ones running it, The Adresaas... Truly brash and hostile people, go anywhere they don't want you and they sick their weapons after you.. And they protect the center with all their might... I wonder what's at the center.."

- Unknown Scholar

The Selten Galaxy (also known by natives of Selten as, Hendra B, or Germi, among some other names that have been lost to the Crumble) is a large spiral galaxy found in the outskirts of the First Gigaquadrant, and is most commonly known for its aggressive radiation that its two central cores spew out and it’s unforgiving political climate. there are sides to Selten that have become a normal for the main species inside of Selten’s many arms, The political outrage in Selten and its criminal works and genocide has achieved its name as the Chaotic Sector with its murderous criminal enterprises and extremely territorial and hostile alien empires. There is also a safe haven, although it has its fair share of problems, it has grown into what modern Selten considers the Safe Sector, while much safer, having much less radiation and dark matter and trade and alliances is in relative abundance, these trade deals can often be with illegal factions, wars are still very commonplace across the Safe Sector and crime is still very rife although crime and empires are usually not as hostile as they are in the Chaotic Sector.

Selten when it formed, had also developed dark matter fields around it, like a giant navigatable prison that has destroyed many ships of the natives of Selten. The dark matters fields of Selten also are why it is so hard to get into Selten, with the fact that the native species are fairly untrustful of outsiders, and constantly bombard any outside Empires That wish to enter for their salvage. The fields are also used by one of the longest-running empires in Selten, the Adresaas Republic, they control the central sector of the Selten Galaxy, and see to it that a relic evil is kept hidden from the rest of Selten, they sit atop a very old, and bloody bitter past, that they plan to keep from everyone.

Selten also is home to some superpowers inside its regions, such as the Maurchin Citadel, Quakian Empire and many more. The superpowers among Selten also face the brute aggression from the Adresaas Republic. Although mostly a horrendous and ghastly Galaxy, Selten has life, although that life is dangerous and volatile, it is life nonetheless. Life always finds a way, and it found a way to thrive in Selten's disastrous regions.

Years of Silence (13,500,000,000 BC - 11,000,000 BC)
Selten formed around 13.5 billion years ago and in the time span of time until the last 11 million years had gone through a time of silence before the first sentient beings evolved into a spacefaring species. The Years of Silence is what modern day Seltian historians call it. The Years of Silence has been named this due to there was only planets and singular organisms, no sentient life had formed yet, and the toxic radiation continued to grow. So did the dark matter fields that formed with Selten. During this era of Selten, The cores were at their most unstable point in its history.

The Years of Silence is an era known to much of Selten of today due to an unknown documentation of it being discovered. The documents read that during the Silence era there were a growing species called the Mur’iinas, an eventual brutish race who were set to be the first sentient life among Selten. The end of the Years of Silence was marked when the first colony was claimed by the Mur’iinas, There they had situated themselves as the first species to reach intelligence. With that, they came in at the end of the era they grew up in and lived through. This marks the end of the Silence.

Years of Furtherance (11,000,000 BC - 6,000,000 BC)
The Years of Furtherance is an era based upon the first lifeforms to reach sentience. As the Mur'iinas started to evolve with their vast knowledge of their understanding of themselves, one could even say that they had come to the realization of what the meaning of life was and that was as far from the truth as one could come they, in fact, were alone with their advanced web-way of hyperjumps even older observers from outside of Selten could see the lines of their dashing white ships in their search for intelligent life or did they bring up life no one will know. Disconnected Mekkani does not know the answer either due to such knowledge is something they don't have. but through their endless search with their massive ships of other intelligent lifeforms they sadly did not find anything else but worlds of primitive beings and animals. Through their search, they came across a promising planet in the system They named it Tesifa Sech’i ‘Alemi meaning Promising world in ancient Mur'iinas language, this planet is now known as Adrealis. With the finding of such a world, the lizard-like Mur'iinas prepared to study the upbringing of these creatures they called K’ali Yetegebalachewi meaning Promised Ones. as the K’ali Yetegebalachewi evolved they would start to call themselves Adresaas and the Mur'iinas were only pushing them in the right way slightly but nothing serious of making their evolution happen in the course of a century but slowly but surely the Mur'iinas grew to have a large empire around the core and several colonies spread out all over Selten but most prominently in the area today known as the Tomb Sector and that is where they stayed but as time went on more and more spacefairing civilizations formed all seeing the Mur'iinas as the biggest fish and as one says "the biggest fish in the ocean attracts the biggest predators" and that is what happened as these smaller empires attacked the Mur'iinas and lost but with heavy casualties on both sides, the Mur'iinas losing their compassion for life, dumped themselves in living metal and going by a new name that is known and feared all over Selten, the Mekkani, the bringers of death.

Years of Growth (6,000,000 BC - 1,000,000 BC)
The Years of Growth is an era where life has finally started to thrive and open its wings, and take off in all directions of Selten, with this life, comes new obstacles and dangers for the early sapience. Sapience brings evolution in this era, but it also brings expansion, this time span, known only to the natives of Selten as the Years of Growth is one of imperialism and outward expansion for those newly hatched empires that have been uplifted to the sounds of drums and war. The drums of war are the only sound that is heard among Selten during this time, as for Seltians, war brings uplifting and makes every nation stronger and therefore wiser. This is what growth and life brings, it may bring peace and prosperity but it is most certainly a cruel and unforgiving mistress, Selten is considered by many that grew up in it and that survived the Crumble, consider its harsh climate of living status to be a bipolar one, Some even say evolution is just as irrational and wild as its galaxy it takes place in. Life among the Years of Growth is in a form, darkly beautiful as it spreads across the landscape of Selten and its various regions and sectors. Life even in modern Day Selten, continues to grow, but all remember that this boom of expansion and evolution, is what furthered this to come into light

The Crumble (1000 Year War)
The Crumble or the 1000 Year War as the Adresaas calls it was an ancient war between two of Selten's biggest and strongest empires, the Mekkani, a mechanical race of hardened machines that could replenish their forces in an instant like they never even lost any, and the Adresaas Republic, a much younger empire almost as strong as the Mekkani and almost as big. The conflict was long and devilish, and it was all going in the Mekkani's favour, as their machines of war ran across the battlefield flew in the sky or hidden in space destroying entire Adresaan Armadas it costed the lives of millions of innocent beings and creatures across Selten. The bloodshed had lasted 1000 years, it's said that planets could be coloured fluorescent blue, the blood of all the fallen Adresaas. Though all seemed lost for the Adresaas, they broadcasted out over their empire, messages describing their closure to defeat to the mechanical menace and to make sure to keep families close together to wipe their tears and face death. In the 998th year of the war, the Adresaas found the blueprints and instructions of an ancient weapon designed specifically to combat and destroy the Mekkani, the weapons were huge with powers that could rival a Mekkani monolith and with the power to contain an Overlord. and with there powers, they were able to detain and push back the Mekkani, by containing the Overlord making the Mekkani retreat back into their metal planets their wombs in the sky, sealing themselves away. these will later be known as Tombs, the Adresaas made sure to have them never open again, sealing them and hiding them to keep anyone from finding them. The war machines were sabotaged on purpose by the Adresaas, as it leaves the blood on them from their bitter past. In the following of the planets were the massive battles had taken place, massive skeletal wyverns flew marking areas of great conflict and grief these were named the Seltian Corpse Wyverns flying where the deaths of millions have taken place.

The overlord of the Mekkani was sealed in the centre inside a massive area of energy equal or even greater than him, nullifying his powers and rendering him to be just a husk where he plans his ways to finish the 1000 year war...

AI Banishment
The AI Banishment is the aftermath of the Crumble, A 1000 year war that resulted in mass termination of the Adresaas Race, the Mekkani, being basically AI themselves, had destroyed millions of lives all across Selten, soon the Adresaas had established a doctrine against AI and AI users, if anyone is caught using AI, they would be terminated.

Formation
It is estimated by head scientists of the spiral galaxy, that Selten was formed around 13 billion years ago. Although they cannot pinpoint exactly how the formation gave way to life, the oldest traces of organic matter relates back to the speculation of its formation. The high concentration of dark matter in the territory of Selten has been suspected to be the main factor in the formation of Selten. This includes its planets, which also have been affected dramatically. With scientists discovering more data surrounding the origin of the galaxy, they have come to the conclusion that dark matter has acted as a defence mechanism for the entire formation itself.

Cores
Probably the most crucial resource of this galaxy to the races that inhabit it is the formation of the two cores that are located at the very centre of the Selten Galaxy. It is with these two cores that their radiation shaped how life would come to be in the galaxy's glowing arms. These cores are an amazing sight, constantly orbiting around each other, in a never-ending dance. These cores are a powerful tool for many empires due to the colossal amounts of nuclear energy they contain, which could result in high advancements among said empires technologies. The cores themselves have become a power source for the entire galactic community of Selten. Nearly the entire galactic community has linked with its energy to keep their lights going, although they can still easily maintain themselves without it.

The cores provide energy for one of the most powerful empires in Selten, the Adresaas Republic. With the cores powerful radioactive energy, the Adresaas flourished and were quick to conquer and encircle the cores. To the Adresaas, these cores are a blessing. To the other nations that are among the many arms of Selten however, it is a catastrophe, as fluctuations of radiation are constantly blasted across the majority of the galaxy's solar systems, making genetic mutations and radiation poisoning commonplace and routine. Due to this constant exposure to radiation. evolution was forced to make quick and harsh turns, creating incredibly bizarre organisms on the few planets that managed to still hold life. Although the radiation hits systems hard, it has helped some empires, speeding up the evolutionary process of other species. Whether these mutations are helpful or harmful is up to fate to decide. Thankfully, the galaxy is not completely irradiated, as one of the cores negates the radiation of its sister core.

Central Sector
As with every galaxy, there is the central disk at Selten. With the extra radiation emitting from the cores, the planets and star systems around it are eccentric and volatile. They have been morphed over time to bear rare spices and bizarre landscapes. In the Central Sector, there is a foundation of empires that claims it, The Adresaas Republic, the empire that holds the title as owners of the Central Sector. The Republic is considered to be a galactic foundation, due to their technological advancements with the help of the cores at the center and the bizarre spices found on the planets in the sector.

The central sector also houses a lot of history, as there were once two empires that unified into one, through a disastrous war. There were the Adresaas Empire and the Mangrese Empire, who at one point in history had started a feud between each other trying to take control of the cores. Eventually, an entire war broke out and immeasurable atrocities lost to time took place. The Mangrese was eventually forced to be assimilated into the Adresaas Republic, but they weren't treated as equals and instead were experimented on, their nation stripped of life and the Mangrese was mutilated to the point of extinction.

Safe Sector
Among the stars of the Selten Galaxy, there is arguably one side that is considerably a lot safer to adapt it, as there is not as much dark matter or radiation among it. The Safe Sector of Selten is filled to the brim with trade and alliances as small and large empires fill in the space of the sector. Despite this, it isn't without problems, as piracy is very rampant and many trade routes in the Safe Sector are trade routes between empires and pirates. Constant wars are very common across the Sector and numerous hostile empires exist, constantly warring with other empires, adding into the already numerous amounts of violence in the Sector. Alliances, however, are common and trade is very abundant whether they are for spreading violence or backhanded trade or if they are for the good of others, they are often the main source of cooperation and help between nations in the Safe Sector. The Safe Sector has an unusual overabundance of lush planets with life, making it a safe haven for species who are still evolving. Because of the numerous lush worlds, wars and extreme conflicts often arise over these worlds as resources are often a source of content for spacefaring nations.

Chaotic Sector
The Chaotic Sector of Selten is considered to be a harsh environment to live upon, as it is filled with hostile empires and planets. This is where survival becomes very difficult, and developing on the planets in this sector is just as hard, as radiation kills off most organisms, forcing them to result to cannibalistic or immoral acts to survive. It is usually every race for themselves, as battles for territory and mass genocide is not a rare occurrence. This sector is most notably known for being flooded with dark matter and radiation. Species have needed to adopt special navigation technologies and impenetrable bodies to guide through the endless amounts of radiation and dark energy. The worst part of this sector is that most empires are cut off from the safer sectors which means supplies are scarce; this often leads to constant conflicts breaking out over scraps.

Outskirt Sector
The outskirt Sector of Selten is mostly devoid of life, with the exception of a few small empires with little importance. The outskirts are where debris from conflicts involving vehicles end up, there is a lot of space debris in this sector, where many scavenging nations come to steal scraps that they can use to repurpose. With the scraps left over it somewhat forms a story of what was left behind, with this in mind the debris makes the outskirts hard to traverse along with constant scavengers trying to pick fights with anyone near them.

Dark Matter Field
Within and around Selten is a wall/border of dark matter strong enough to rip apart hulls of space vessels if not navigated through correctly. The dark energy is the cause of many empires suffering and evolution, as the dark matter causes their planets magnetic fields to go haywire. The Dark Matter has been around since the earliest stages of Selten's formation, said to have played a part in it as well, with this in mind, the fields are one of the things that keep many empires from leaving Selten for a better galaxy. These fields, are considered the bloodline of Selten, considering that it has been there for so long, they are a curse and a blessing for most species within the galaxy.

Selten Species
There are numerous amounts of races all across Selten, some hostile, and some are peaceful. The species found in Selten can be considered bizarre, as life appears in the most unorthodox of places. Life in Selten has proven to be quite difficult for some as the radiation from the twin cores leaves radiation spilled everywhere causing plague and radiation poisoning as a common theme among space travelers. the species across Selten's Chaotic Sector can be described as boney, and with rough skin, most of them have bone-like outer armor, to keep themselves protected from the radiation, and a lot of life among Selten share a similarity with having silicon-based life. the life on the other side, aka the safe sector, is most known for living among T Score 3 Planets, with them living in close proximity as a somewhat utopia, although political conflicts between species still do arise.

Society and Culture
The societal culture of The Selten Galaxy is a diverse and ever-expanding world, cultures in Selten mostly develop around the survival ways of the species or what motivates them to keep going as a whole. The societal norm differentiates between the empires and their religions that they practice, Murder is a major societal normality due to the dangers of traversing Selten's empty space. Many of the cultures take battle into their honor. The honor of winning, and the spoils system. Although culture in Selten is diverse and all goes down its own path and differs from the last, many of the cultural differences relate back to the survival of one's self.

Cultural diversity is found within the scrolls found all over Selten, found in monasteries and schools that are scarce but places of knowledge. Wars are the source of the fluctuating manifestations of one's Empire. An example would be that of the Maurchin Dominion, an empire built upon editing one's species and scientific revolutions. Another Example is Adresaas Republic, hell bent on keeping their status among the Galaxy, this need for superiority, has landed them their own culture of alienating and xenophobic personality traits which go hand and hand in their hatred of outsiders. Their culture is the most egotistical and self absorbed society known in Selten, and many species know, talking smack gets you whacked.

Government
The governmental figures in Selten Are hostile and are not afraid to be the ones to throw the first punch, they are alive and here due to survival of the fittest, they have evolved and refined their skills in the arts of militant and criminal enterprise. The governmental powers within the Galaxy are vast and show off their prowess with their fleets and military might, as keeping territory within Selten is usually filled with requirements of chest puffing, miltary expertise, and the proper technologies and know how to outsmart your enemy while keeping your territory and colonies safe.

The governmental powers span from the hyperpowers to the most minor powers inside of Selten, one example of The Hyperpowers are the Adresaas Republic. The governmental hyperpowers are most usually located in the center of the galaxy, next to the twin cores, to show their extreme strength and that they own the most powerful power source known to the galaxy's inhabitants. The Maurchin Dominion are a Superpower due to their activity within the galaxy.

Technology
The technology found within the depths of the Selten Galaxy are well refined and developed to deal with the sheer consequential Dangers found within the Galaxy itself, the technology itself has developed to deal with the excess of radiation and dark matter scattered round Selten and its planets and star systems. Navigational technology has been made in preparation for wars and traversing the dark fields of matter found in the outskirts and arms of Selten. The Marchin Dominion have fitted their starcrafts or talonships with testing facilities within them to Upgrade and develop newer and improved technologies, as well as they have made technology to artificially Clone themselves due to them not being able to organically Reproduce anymore. Another species that managed to make heart-stopping technology is the Tighurass, 3ho made a technological disease that spread through their enemy, causing global DNA mutations.

Travel
Travel within Selten is mostly any which way, although there is a mainstream traveling effect, where the spaceships that inhabit Selten have a certain pattern they follow while traversing The galaxy's arms, This path has been carved out as The Selten Highway, a place of traffic that many of the empires ship their spice and other goods across the whole galaxy, this Highway is used by all Empires within the arms of Selten, and with this Highway they obey the laws of trading tariffs. The travel system was put in place by the Adresaas Republic as a means to keep order within the Highway. this system has laws put in place, such as trading tariffs, there are Adresaan warpgates constructed in these highway locations, used to get to other parts of the deep space.

The Adresaas Travel Ordnance are a set of laws enlisted by The Republic itself to maintain order and make sure everyone respects the ancient trade routes that were carved out in these places. Its laws are as follows:

New trade routes made must be made official by giving a share of earnings to the Republic

Any conflict and or wars that hold up the highway will be extinguished by the Republic

Warpgates are to be used only for the safety of the cargo being imported or exported to nations

All nations caught using foul play and cheap trade tactics or fraud will be slaughtered on sight

'Trade with other empires must be done on The Highway, or else you're put on the watchlist

Lastly, failure to obey or respect these laws will result in additional taxation, or participants in the act of misconduct will be promptly executed by an executive Republic advisor

Quotes
"The Selten Galaxy, a divided, harsh place filled with high amounts of radiation spewing out of its twin cores, killing and rendering many planets lifeless like a plague in more radioactive parts of the galaxy. We have lived there for so long and there is so much radiation that our Seltian kind evolved tough skin and an exoskeleton to defend themselves from the radiation. An advanced ancient empire guards the centre of the galaxy and has protected the galaxy from many threats. They are paranoid to others however, they actively suppress AI, and are willing to attack anyone that gets close, something we don't like.

The side of Selten we live in is a more bright and utopian place than the other half, filled with trade and alliances, something that greatly benefits us, still there are many criminals and warmongering nations that we time to time wage war with. This part also has copious amounts of radiation, although it's nowhere near the hell that is the Chaotic sector. Planets there are safe havens although the radiation have resulted in aliens that are either native or have been living there for a long time to evolve unusual traits as an adaptation to the radiation, many planets though both in the Safe and Chaotic sectors are Tomb worlds, with dormant robots ready to kill you if you disturb them. The Chaotic sector on the other hand is a living hell filled with war and misfortunes. Being scarce in resources, it's locked in a cold war as violence dominates the sector, not a place we would like to be.

The Selten Galaxy overall as a place is a grim harsh place with dystopia, divided and filled with misfortune, as long as you can thrive, you don't anger any big powers or robotic menaces and you don't step into the wrong side of the galaxy you can survive but always watch your steps"

- President Somonthalle of the Lsjanpodos

"Thau threats may not loom right now soon the tides of the of the seemingly calm oceans of Selten will turn whip up a storm AWAKENING US FROM OUR SLUMBER braking me free from my chains in the Galactic Core that serves as my Prison. and dau empire that chained me shall perish and an age of darkness shall begin and we Reign supreme over this galaxy.

and when the long night comes of our return brother shall turn on brother alliances will crumble and We shall split planets revealing the Monoliths and our reapers shall Bring the system to their knees

dear Adresaas I will have my Revenge......"
