Fiction:Palmonian History

Beginning
Long ago, there was a lush world known as Palmonia. This planet was overflowing with life, and it blossomed into a beautiful, tropical T3 world. Quickly rising through Palmonias forests was a species of amphibious mammals. These creatures soon became dominant over Palmonia's western-most continent, and rapidly evolved to a higher state of mind.

Mission
Upon reaching sapience, the Palmonians decided to become the gaurdians of their beautiful world. They started to co-operate with nature, using it in a symbiotic relationship. Their homes were carved into trees, and they cultivated many types of plant life. They farmed and harvested, and they quickly established themselves as an agricultural race.

Advancement
After the discovery that all life was made up of genomes and cells, Palmonian technology reached it's climax. Living machines were fabricated, and the lifestyle of all was drastically improved, thanks to the use of serums that extended life and increased brain cell growth. The Palmonians quickly became a force almost as powerful as nature itself, for nature is what they wielded. Life for the Palmonians was blissful.

Strangers
The Palmonians soon reached a level of technology that their forefathers had only dreamed of; the ability to send beings to the stars. The Palmonians took to the heavens, and quickly came across another star-faring race. A rather unfriendly race. The Palmonians attempted to befriend these strangers, but the newcomers wouldn't hear of it. They were violent, and cold as the machines that were sewn into their very DNA. These beings declared war on the Palmonians, and their life fell to pieces.

Catastrophe
The war was rather one-sided, seeing as the Palmonian's were a peaceful race, who had never in the course of their lives raised a weapon. As the dreaded Enemy mustered it's forces, the Palmonians went about their lives, blissfully unaware of the horror that would soon befall them. The Enemy rose up like locusts, and flew their armada to Palmonia. They bombarded the cities of the peaceful inhabitants ceaselessly, and then their mothership arrived, carrying with it the harbringer of Palmonia's doom. The Enemies had developed a weapon of such destructive force that it could rend a planet to nothing. The Enemy launched this horrid device, and Palmonia shattered. Parts of it flew toward the sun and were incinerated, others flung into deep-space and flash frozen.

The Palmonians' world had come to an end.

Legacy
All that is left of the Palmonians now is their handiwork - multitudes of terraformed worlds, all with fully fleshed-out ecosystems. The Palmonians created dozens of these worlds, using the beasts of their own beloved planet to create intricate food webs. The Palmonians may be gone, but their legacy of peace and life goes on.
