The Ravenrii are a highly evolved race provenient from planet Centrus in the Xanthrus Spiral Galaxy.The species is very powerful, as the Ravenrii's empire, The Core Federation, holds more than 3.2 thousand systems and over 5 thousand worlds.

Ancient History

 * Although the oldest history of the Ravenrii and their origins remains shrouded, it is known that it is closely tied to two prophetic scripts; The Book of the Eons, a sacred tome that they keep only at their homeworld, and the Necroveast, a horrific one believed to have been lost through time or hidden by the Ravenrii themselves.
 * The history of the Ravenrii in modern times dates over 5 billion years ago, when they were pure beings in harmony with all of life and Essence. The Ravenrii then lived in their original homeworld, sometimes refered to as Alva-Es'riia, the Place of Light.The calm beings lived in peace, until records tell of a great cataclysm that shattered the harmony that the universe is believed to have been experiencing at that time. The Book of the Eons speaks of the taking of one of their own, who was tortured into insanity by an unknown alien race. The Ravenrii, who share one mind, all felt the attrocity and went into seclusion in their worlds. According to the records, however, the aliens came back,terrified and traumatized. They left the taken one, called Ayren and left. But it was known at once that he was changed.His peers would not accept him, and he was left to roam the darkness of their shadowed nooks until they discovered him, writing in a tattered tome.They saw what is supposed to have been a great Darkness pouring unto the book, and as they believed it was sacrilege, struck him down. Excerpt for the Book of the Eons;


 * "He had been changed ,we knew, changed into a creature, a mere animal. But we allowed him among us, util we saw him in a library, clutching a leather-bound tome. He wrote feverishly, and it had never been so evident that it was pure Darkness he was pouring. We srtruck him down, but his blood fell, like ink into the tome, and the pages, we knew, had been completely infused with his evils. Whatever it as he had written, whatever nightmare might have chased him, his blood fell and made them into something terrible. Something that would only try to destroy us."


 * Afterwards, it is known that the Ravenrii frantically tried to destroy the Book, as something called the "Darkness" emerged from unknown space and attacked their allies and their worlds. Finally, the Book tells of the evil tome's, the Necroveast's, hiding by the Ravenrii in what today is an uncharted world. The great conflict, called the War of Light, supposedly destroyed Alva Es'riia and sent the Ravenrii into mass uncounsciousness, as there is no record of their history for a period after that. The Ravenrii that came into consciousness afterwards are the Ravenrii of today. They immediatly began building small empires, called the Minor Empires, and afterwards united to create the Core Federation. However, despite their secretiveness and apparent ignorance about this, it is rumored that their ancient homeworld was at the Core World sector of the galaxy, and that that is why they so rapidly tried to destroy the Grox: to get to the unnamed planet where the Necroveast was hidden and make sure that it was kept as such.

Modern History

 * The modern-day Ravemrii awoke over a millenium after the Great War of Light, in what today is the capital of the Federation, planet Centrus. However, they quickly dispersed into smaller, lesser Empires called the Minor Empires around the Xenus Cluster, the cluster of stars around Centrus. The Empires constantly collided over trade and wealth, until in the year 4,300, F.A., they united to create the Confederation of the Core Empires, which was simply a non-binding confederation that encouraged trade and miltitary assistance between the Empires. After over a million years of existence,though, the Ravenrii dissolved the Federation and united into a single entity, a binding Federation of the Core that contained a Senate and an elective monarchy. Time passed for around five more million years before, finally, the monarchy that had been so vehemently supported fell into decadence. The rapid expansion of the Empire meant that thecapital was strained, and soon there were violent riots in the Cluster. The riots' casualties grew and eventually reached Centrus: the inhabitants of the federation desired a more business-oriented government, because the monarchy's politics were slow and ineffective. Eventually, circa 7,340,000 F.A. a great war ensued, as the Queen's advisors threatened the royaly with a coup and betrayed the Queen, at that time the monarch Ayra the Great. The civil war was serious, and most worlds were devastated before Her Highness was impeached and exiled for eternity. Loyal conservatives warred against abolitionists for centuries, during which the Federation was crippled by he constant outbreaks of violence. Eventually, however, after dozens of battles the Ravenrii grew disgusted with themselves, believing that they had lost their Purity. They united under current Chancellor Ese'rrix Airdone of Centrus, the ex-main advisor to the Queen and the main traitor of teh Monarchy. However, thanks to Airdone's ironfist politics, royalists receded and the new government, the High Court of the Core, took control. Airdone then caused what is now known as a very rare happening within his species; their minds supposedly united at around 20,655,000 F.A, in what is now known as the Unification of the Minds, more than 11 million years after the war begun.


 * The Unification further united the Ravenrii, who grew peaceful and concentrated on relations with the first Galactic Empire that they met; teh Solarian Empire, which was situated lower down the Prathus Arm, where Centrus is located. The federation grew fiercely once again, acquiring most worlds around the Core Worlds Section of the galaxy. Trade brought wealth to the federation, which became a prominent member of the galaxy and one of the most powerful. Circa 945,000,000, F.A. the Core federation celebrated over 900 million years of stability and reinstated the royalty, though in a much less powerful state.
 * The Core federation then proceeded to buy all remaining worlds around the Core World Sector, and finalized a trade monopoly around the Grox Systems. the aquisirio of these sytems angered the Solarian Empire, and the Core Federation declared war circa 2,001,200,000 S.A. The Solarian monarch, Solya Athera, reportedly had a vision of what the Federation would look like once it complete Core World dominion and abdicated. The Empire, which had been a close ally of the Corfed for billions of years, collapsed and it gained even more systems in the Prathus Arm. The following year, the Core Federation rejected an alliance of several galactic empires, including the Mushrum and Arenesque, which sparked the billion-year Grox Wars. During this comflict

, the Federation took control of the entire Grox Worlds, atotal of 2,400 systems and 5,000 planets that swelled the Empire to an enormous size. Though supposedly peace-like, the Ravenrii were ruthless when acquiring the Core Worlds and invaded constantly with vast fleets.


 * After the Grox War was finalized with the destruction of The Grox Empire, the rejected empires, the Arenesque, Mushrum, and Creancer Empires created the Intergalactic Alliance of Independent Empires in 4,230,000,000 FO.A., which had a subtle anti-Federation agenda, but did not declare war because of the Federation's vast influence and power in Xanthrus Spiral. To this day, the federation has captured few worlds, and mantains complete trading monopolies in the Core Worlds and the Prathus Arm. It is composed of over 5,600 worlds and 3,200 systems, all of which arepresided over solely by the ever-living Ravenrii.
