Fiction:Haloian Galaxy

The Haloian Galaxy was formed about 50 billion years ago, making an average, middle-aged galaxy. It is an isolated galaxy, far away from any other spacial objects, except for its neighbor, the Courscanti Galaxy. When Haloian first formed, it was a rather lifeless Galaxy. Then about 30 billion years ago, from somewhere in the far reaches of space, arrived a sect of the extragalactic Grox Empire. Like all Grox sects, they colonized the center of the Haloian Galaxy. These Grox where the only sentient beings in Haloian. And things went good for them as they had no competition. They lived in peace with themselves for billions of years in Haloian. While they only controlled the center, they still virtually controlled the whole of Haloian due to the fact that they were the only sentient life forms in the galaxy. However, about 75 million years ago, many, many species evolved to space capabilities. While all these empires were relatively weak, they were millions of them. Different species were spreading throughout the galaxy like wildfire. The Grox became angry that they were no longer the only species in the Galaxy. They soon began an expensive program to stamp out these empires. But every time they destroyed one, three more sprang up. But, after about 5 million years, the Grox were final able to push each and every single species back to a pre-sentient state, and literally the crushed EVERY SINGLE SPECIES in the galaxy. This huge task took a lot of time (5 million years) and a lot of resources. The Grox economy was shattered. But they figured that since they had eliminate every empire, they would have plenty of time to enjoy their dominance and recover before the species re-evolved back to sentience. So, the Grox, not having to worry any more slowly rebuilt their empire and ignored the rest of the galaxy. They ignored them for about 30 million years, which was more than enough time for the species to re-evolve back to space capabilities. But, the Grox government knew that none of these empires would be able to rival theirs, so they ignored the other races. But, the Grox population had to still believe that they were the only ones. So, the government lied to them. Any non-Grox ships within 50 parsecs of the Empire were destroyed, and Grox citizens were not allowed to travel outside of the Empire. Then the Grox realized that they did not need such a big military anymore, and heavily downsized it to the point where it was only capable of border security. This would nearly bring upon their downfall.

The rest of the Haloian Galaxy developed naturally, and at around 40 million ago, a meteor flew into the Matoran Arm, and crashed onto the planet Fireski. Out of that meteor, a cell came out and began to evolve. This race was called the Biosk. While still a cell and long way from space travel, the Biosk would eventually rise up and rival the Grox. The Biosk Empire became space faring 20 million years ago.

There was something unique about the Biosk. They were fierce fighters, yes, but they were also very friendly. They had built many alliances, and at the same time stamped many empires. The Biosk were fanatical religious zealots, but they rarely let their religion get in the way of diplomatic issue. The Biosk were very religious, but kept to themselves about it. Only on a few rare occasions they had wiped out species over religion. On multiple occasions, they used weapons of mass destruction such as planet busters. When facing an enemy that they truly hated, they would permanently damage the other empires home world by lowering its atmospheric level and drastically raising its temperature until the planet became a molten, lava wasteland and would never support life again. Maybe many years later, the Biosk would return to that planet and heal it and restore life to it, if they felt that it deserved it, or that the planet was strategically important. However, the Biosk also immorally tampered with the evolution of other species. On many occasions, they would raise a species up to space travel, only to take them over and gain their technology and resources. Sometimes, they would even pay allies to attack each other, just so they could attack both empires while they were distracted.

But despite all these negative behaviors, the Biosk were generally on the right path. The Biosk populace had many rights and liberties and believed in freedom. They opposed the Grox, and destroyed any empire that mistreated another.

The reason why the Biosk rose to such a high status was because about 10 million years ago, the Biosk accidentally stumbled upon a technological cache from a great empire that used to live in the Matoran Arm 75 million years ago, but that empire was mysteriously destroyed. After searching through this cache, the Biosk technology vastly increased, putting their tech on par with that of the Grox. They Biosk expanded and eventually controlled one half of the Matoran Arm. But after continuous searching through the cache, the Biosk discovered information left by the empire that once existed here. That empire never revealed its name, but it said that it used on ALL of the Matoran Arm. But 75 million years ago, the Grox destroyed every empire in the galaxy (as mentioned earlier) including this one. The empire left this cache here so that if anyone found it they could fight the Grox and defeat them. The note then said that whoever found this had a new destiny: To follow in their footsteps, rule the Matoran Arm with an even hand, and utterly destroy the Grox.

The Biosk ultimately chose to accept this call. This decision would ultimately spell doom for the Biosk...
