Fiction:Council of the Six

The Council of the Six are an alliance between the most advanced and noble races in the Aurora galaxy. The alliance consists of the Asgard, Protar, Spodians, Maare, Arnodians and the Treedor.

Beginning
About 4000 years ago, when the Protar and the Asgard met, they realized the potential good that could come out if they allied themselves with each other. And so began the Council. At this point, it was named the Council of the Two.

Freedom of the Spodians
Countless centuries after the beginning. The Asgard discovered a slave race named the Spodians. They served beings named Underlords, who were ruled by a demigod named Spode. The Asgard and the Protar worked together to free the Spodians, and once free, the Spodians declared war against the Underlords, and promised a day when Spode would die. The Spodians regained their technology and ships, and so joined the Council.

The Maare
The Maare discovered the Council, and joined it. But around 3 decades after joining the Council, the Maare stopped contact and disappeared. The Spodians found deformed creatures in caves, whom which they believed were the lost Maare. The Spodians left them to their peril.

Freedom of the Maare
The Maare, a race not well known, were an once advanced civilization lost long ago. The Arnodians found these beings, addicted to strange crystals that had deformed them. In good conscience, the Arnodians helped these beings, and rescued them from their strange addiction. Their culture, cities and technology had been lost, and many Maare still left deformed. But the Maare rediscovered the Council and rejoined, hoping to find out who destroyed them so long ago.

The Arnodians
The Arnodians, after helping the Asgard, Protar, and the Maare countless times, were finally accepted into the Council. Still quite unadvanced, but smart enough to have slow intergalactic travel.

The Treedor
Long allies of the Protar. The Protar had promised long ago, that if the Treedor reached space travel, they will have permit to join the Council. Several hundred years later after the promise, and just recently, too, the Treedor had achieved basic space travel and interstellar travel. They are the most recent species to join the Council, and probably the last.
