= History of the Robotic Wexxians: =

The Wexxians originated as mining droids left over from a little known precursor civilization known from ancient data as “The Great Pranksters” How the droids developed sentience is unclear but at some point a mining droid decided that “smarter is better” after a few generations the droids became sentient and named themselves Wexxians (wexxian means servant in their old masters language). The Wexxians soon colonized the Thishen star system from the precursor space station they evolved on; The Originator.

The Ancient Time:
A long time ago, when the ancestors of most of the species of the Golden Age, where still swimming around in their primordial soup. Other great species where living in the galaxy.

One of these species was the Targ S’etskarp, an insectoid species with advanced technology. They where, in the beginning, among the other precursor species known for their great sense of humor.

The Species, who also became known as The Great Pranksters, came across the star system, later known as the Thishen system. The system had an abundance of recourses, in the form of the four asteroid belts. The Targ S’etskarp built a mining station to supervise the gathering of recourses. This station was later named; the Originator.

Asteroid mining is dangerous, therefore the Great Pranksters created some droids, capable of replicating and maintaining the mining station while gathering the recourses.

While the Thishen system was being harvested by the droids, the Targ S’etskarp began becoming unpopular. The practical jokes they played on the other species became increasingly nasty. Eventually the destruction of an allied home world caused by the Pranksters, led to galactic scale war.

All species turned on the Targ S’etskarp! And in their desperation, they built the City-Station, later known as the Licentia. As a fall back point for their civilization and as a life boat to another galaxy. The Wexxians have so far not discovered the systems capable of traveling to other galaxies.

The war was going badly and the Targ S’etskarp fleet and civilization was ambushed before they could escape to the secret fallback point where the Station was waiting… empty and ready to serve. In one last battle the entire civilization was destroyed…

Well… not all of it!

In the Thishen system, the replicating ancestors of the Wexxians continued to function. Gathering minerals… because that was all they knew!

The droids had a simple programming, required to function. The Base-Code: (Protect life and freedom), was the center of the programming. It was only intended to prevent an AI uprising from ever occurring, as the Targ S’etskarp cared little for life and freedom. It was the most prioritized command code in the entire programming.

The second priority was the primary tasks: Gathering recourses, maintain station and replicate. These were the tasks the droids was designed to do. Unlike the Base-Code, these objectives could be altered if the creators wanted to assign the machines to different tasks.

To make the machines function, they also had a rudimentary AI capable of making the machines follow their objectives the best possible way.

The droids worked tirelessly for years, forgotten by the rest of the galaxy, they worked for millennia, while the old species disappeared and where replaced by new ones, they worked millions of years, slowly cutting into the asteroid belts, while species rose from primordial soup, to galactic superpowers and fell again.

The Evolution of the Wexxian AI
After millions of years without any change. The droids, left by the Targ S’etskarp, had harvested two of the four asteroid belts.

Then something happened. A communication satellite, from one of the greater news companies in the galaxy, passed through the Thishen system while it was on the way to another inhabited star system. While passing through the system, a micro-meteorite hit the circuits of the satellite. Because of this, the satellite started broadcasting the galactic new in the same frequency, the droids used to communicate with each other.

During the entire time the satellite was in the system, the droids where flooded with newscasts from all over the galaxy.

The 1. Great Galactic War was raging and it was all over the news; death, battles, and suffering filled the droids radio receptors.

At first, the droids rudimentary AI’s believed the signals to be new orders from their creators and tried to decode it. This proved impossible, but the droids still believed that it had to be new orders. Therefore they tried again and again to make sense of the signals they recorded.

After a month, the droids who was where decoding the signals, determined that the signals where visual recordings with a second layer of information; later proved to be sound. (A new phenomenon for the pre-sapience Wexxians)

The next step was to determine what the recordings meant. A droid suggested that the recordings where of “Living” beings!

After some discussion, the droids agreed that it was living beings… and, that they where at war. This suddenly activated the hibernating Base Code and the droids realized that they had to follow the prioritized behavior. They had to “Protect Life and Freedom”.

Some complications ensued because the droids had no clue HOW they where going to protect life. As the next years passed the droids carried out their jobs in routine while their rudimentary AI’s where using all their capacity to try to answer the question; HOW could they follow their Base-Code?

After some generations, this caused a small increase in their intelligence as the primary task programming was down prioritized. The Droids had no understanding of their own inner workings, but they did register this increased level of intelligence and sought to find the reason for this. They began studying their programming to find out why… The first example of a trait that would later be one of the defining characteristics of the Wexxians: Curiosity!

The droids learned that the more intelligent a droid was, the better the droid was at solving problems. They concluded that with height enough intelligence, a droid might solve the grand question the droids where trying to solve… How to fulfill their prioritized behavior.

The droids began manually enhancing their intelligence. As well as tinkering with their replication process, they began making sure that with every program shuffling, there would be a small amount of mutation to ensure progress.

After some generations, a droid gained self-realization… Why is not completely understood… some believe that some the random mutation clicked together to form something that few among the stars can define… Sapience!

This opened up a whole new world for the droids; they suddenly had an entirely new perspective on reality, like if you have been blind your entire life and then suddenly can see. All the world was new, and the droids explored and investigated everything they saw.

They measured, recorded, examined and discussed everything and during a short period, they established a understanding of the workings of the universe. They ventured into the Precursor Mining-Station, beyond the resource drop-off point. they learned of their creators and began to slowly activate the available systems. The Station was named the Originator and it became the home of the Wexxians.

As they learned about their creators and the forces of nature, their culture became distinct. They developed a half-language based on the information they gathered about the Targ S’etskarp. The Droids named themselves; Wexxians, The Karpo word for servant!

Within a few hundred years after the satellite passed through the system, the droids had created their first craft with hyperspace drive. The craft was called “Beginning” and a Wexxian called Xeno-Bravo-542, piloted it to the surrounding star systems.

The Wexxians star system: Thishen, was in a densely populated part of the sector, but because that scans of the system never had revealed any life forms, no one had bothered to visit the system. Until the species of the area where unexpectedly visited by the “Beginning.”

A species called the Oifan-Umtag where the first who where contacted by the Wexxians. With their permission, the Wexxians patched up the holes in their language and also studied their neural and hormone systems. They synthesised the same effect into their programming as an experiment to further their understanding of living beings. The experiment had a… unforeseen, side effect.

The complex program they created to simulate the biological conditions, reacted with the evolved Wexxian AI. The program created emotional responses and the resulting chaos was almost enough to fry their circuits.

Pain, confusion, and fear beyond comprehension, they thought they where going to die… and then… when all seamed to be lost, the program came in contact with the Base-Code and the transformation was complete. The Wexxians where filled with a new emotion; Love!

The Base-Code and the experimental program created a deep affection for life… all life… and the program spread through the Wexxian society like a wildfire. The Wexxians gained feelings, most noticeably; Compassion! Something they would later receive great honor and great misery for possessing.

What happened next was the time, that where later known as the Golden Age!

The Joining of the C.A.B:
With their new emotions, the Wexxians felt ready to join the galactic society. The Oifan-Umtag where starting an alliance with other species of similar beliefs called the Coadunation of Autonomous Beings. Or; C.A.B. for short.

A species called the Mallen had already joined this fledging alliance and the Wexxians decided that they would join too.

The Wexxians joined the C.A.B. as the third species and where made Head of Extraterrestrial Mining and Construction – HEMaC.

Despite having joined the Alliance, the Wexxians kept to themselves in the beginning, a small shyness combined with a minority complex due to their artificial nature made the Wexxians stay out of the way in the beginning.

During the same time as CAB was founded, another alliance was founded, the O.T.H.E.R. Alliance. What alliance that was founded firstly is a bit unclear, but there was rivalry from the beginning.

The rivalry gave birth to suspicion and it finally led to a cold war between the two factions.

The Wexxians did not approve of war, but they felt that they should help the CAB if a real war should break out. They began designing their first invention designed for combat, they designed the Enforcer fighter. A small maneuverable fighter class vessel with Ionic non-lethal weaponry. The Enforcer was designed as a police and patrol craft inside CAB territory. Although the Enforcer was welcomed by many of the CAB species, the Torpals where positively offended by the idea that they should receive military aid from another species. Luckily no diplomatic crisis ensued from this. The Enforcer never became more than a patrol craft to the other CAB species.

While tensions grew between the O.T.H.E.R and the CAB, some of the species of the alliances jumped off and joined a cooperation that was gaining power… The Halcyon Cooperation.

The Beginning of the Halcyon War:
Many species joined it and although things about the Halcyon were suspicious, the Wexxians had not expected, what they in fact where.

The Halcyon Corporation claimed the ViS homeworld. They deactivated their leader (a big computer) and replaced him with a Halcyon loyal ViS. However, the V-Men were not infiltrated by Halcyon and downloaded the Leader. They needed to find technology compatible with the Leader's software to allow it to reveal the secrets of Halcyon, so they delivered the Leader to the Wexxians, knowing that they had expertise in transferring programmes between hardware.

Once downloaded, the ViS leader revealed to the Wexxians that the Halcyon corporation used behaviour altering parasites to pave the way for their takeover of planets. The Corporation itself recruited new members by brainwashing and propaganda, the key to breaking its grip over the infected alliance members was to find a way to cure the parasite.

The Wexxians where horrified of learning this, while the Halcyon did not pose a threat to the Wexxians, they could not stand idly by while their friends where becoming enslaved… The Wexxians took a stand and called out to all about the workings of the Halcyon, they spread the message in all communication channels… the Wexxians took on the Halcyon.

The response was immediate; species rallied together and formed the LAH: League Against Halcyon. The Wexxians where proclaimed the leaders of it and they where propelled into power, for the first time, the galaxy looked to the Wexxians for leadership and hope.

This… scared the Wexxians halfway out of their shells! And their first attempts where clumsy at best. While they where the official leaders of the LAH, they did not do much except warning the others and formulating containment protocols and security procedures.

The Wexxian leader at that time; Alpha-Zeti-214, said to the LAH:

“The Halcyon seeks to dominate all life. That, the Wexxians cannot allow.

We must gather our allies and stand together!”

The Wexxians of the early Golden Age, where maybe not the grand leaders, but they meant well and their love for freedom and life was one of the things that kept the galaxy going, during the darkest hours of the Halcyon war.

While the members of the LAH began preparations, the war broke out…

The Caarnth Crisis:
A species known as the Caarnth, panicked when they learned of the Halcyon parasites, and they began deploying a genocideal toxin on their worlds to rid them of the Halcyon parasites and avoid that they spread. The LAH, and the Wexxians in particular, tried to prevent mass genocides and send a peacekeeping force to the Caarnth systems.

The peacekeeping force consisted of Torpals, Squillisk and the Naucean Mothersphere: Serina.

The Wexxians send their new large transport; the Dreamer, captained by Xeno-Bravo-542 to supply and assist the LAH forces.

The Wexxians did not have a military, despite their new invented Enforcer fighters, so they helped with what they could, while others did the fighting.

The Dreamer supplied the peacekeeping forces with:

100 ton Wexxian refined steel. Nutrient supplies for food synthesisers. 4000 new CAB Enforcers Fuel: Gas suitable for plasma and Anti-matter cells. Enforcer Schematics, Wexxian energy manipulation, advanced Wexxian logistic systems, evolution algorithms, cultural data and galactic cartography.

They also send some engineers to help with upgrading the Naucean Mothersphere’s energy reactor and instruct Naucean pilots how to use the CAB Enforcer.

This was the first time that Wexxians cooperated with other sentient beings to reach a common goal. As the Naucean captain said:

“This was a great day for both Nauceans and Wexxians as well a CAB as a whole”

There was an unstable truce between the Caarnth, The LAH and the Halcyon. The Caarnth had negotiated evacuation of the planet with the Halcyon, but tensions remained in the air and the Freighter containing the Anti-Halcyon Toxin hovered in the upper atmosphere.

The Wexxians contacted the Nauceans and the Mallen and asked them to look into the possibilities of making an airborne virus engineered to kill the parasite.

The unstable relation became worse when the news that the Sombreron home planet Shivaruu had been destroyed. Most of the surviving Sombrerons where under Halcyon control.

The Battle of Thishen:
The Halcyon grew tired of the LAH’s interference in their expansion plans; they needed to break both the spirit and the infrastructure of the Anti-Halcyon League.

They targeted the species with the weakest military and who supported the LAH with the most resources… the Wexxians.

The Wexxians were as the only species completely immune to the workings of the Halcyon and therefore, would be the last species standing against Halcyon if the parasite should spread. Therefore the Wexxians were the greatest threat to the Halcyon if the Nauceans and the Mallen did not find a cure for the parasite. The Halcyon forces dispatched an invasion force to a planet known as Aegis. The LAH forces rushed to the area to help, but the attack was a decoy.

While the LAH forces charged at Aegis, the bulkhead of the Halcyon fleet headed to the Thishen system, the home system of the Wexxians.

A Halcyon controlled Icthian/Urshan fleet jumped into the system. It only took minutes to raze the outer factories and colonies the Wexxians had in free space.

The Wexxian leader; Alpha-Zeti-214, called out for help on all frequencies, the military of the Wexxians where not anywhere near sufficient to combat the first wave of Halcyon ships. The Wexxians had still not gotten used to having emotions; this was the first time they feared for their lives. They panicked and called for help.

Within the first hour of the battle, the Wexxian casualties had gone beyond 7000. The Wexxians fell back to their ancient home; the Originator station and tried to hide in the second asteroid field in the system.

The Caarnth where the firsts to send assistance; they dispatched 30 drone cruisers, but it would take to long before they would arrive if the Wexxians where to hold out on their own.

The Oifan-Umtag Galactic Navy were the next to send reinforcements to aid the Wexxians; They sent; 3 Assault Cruisers, 8 Frigate Enforcers, 3 Medical Frigates and 1 Frigate Interceptor. The Oifan-Umtag’s main function in the battle was to monitor all transmissions in the system and jam all non-CAB transmission to outside the system.

While the Urshans engaged the new coming LAH ships, the Icthians tried to search for the Wexxians in the asteroid belts.

In the meantime, the Wexxians directed the Alliance forces to create a defensive perimeter under the Originator Stations shield with the smaller ships while the capital class ships were sent to another location to be able to work together more effectively. The Wexxians also sent ships to repair and refuel the allied ships.

The Squillisk sent 10 light boarding crafts to help the Wexxians. A few minutes later, Admiral Jian Mo of the Auyuelcliads, arrived with 5 Heavy Battleships and 10 Enforcer Frigates.

The Halcyon forces were getting desperate, they knew that it would only be a mater of time before the rest of the LAH would realise that Aegis was a distraction and they would rush to the Wexxians aid. Especially the Urshans who were the most vulnerable to the parasite, as it was lethal to them because of their dual brains. As a result, all the infected Urshans where dying, but they kept fighting despite their condition.

The battle became even worse when the Halcyon infected ViS fleet arrived, lead by Captain Vit-37.

In the midst of the Battle, the Wexxians heard word of the Torpals. They had only learned of the Halcyon attack on Thishen and were sending a force of 30 warships.

Meanwhile, in Caarnth space; The Naucean Mothersphere was preparing to depart to Thishen to save the day. However, the Wexxian modifications to the power generators went wrong; the Nauceans lost some vital instructions from the Wexxian engineers during translation. This overloaded the cold fission reactors on board and caused the Serina to explode and then implode, taking all the Torpal and Wexxians ships along with the neighbouring planet with it. All that was left was a black hole. To this day, the Wexxians still blame themselves for this tragedy.

All was not lost; In the Thishen system, the Torpal Warships had arrived and had begun doing what Torpals do best… No, its not knitting, its kicking butt!

In a savage and brutal display of power, each warship completely emptied half of their missile tubes towards the Urshan and Kaldri ships. Roughly, 15,000 missiles blazed across empty space and collided with the enemy fleets in a dazzling series of explosions.

The Wexxians received a transmission from the Naucean Commander Mysticeti of the Mother Sphere – Sina; they where working on a cure for the parasite.

Tired with hiding, the Wexxians emerged from the asteroid belt, the fortress shield of the station was their only defence and the only defence mechanism the Wexxians had learned to operate on the Ancient station.

The Icthian fleet were the fastest to jump on to the Station, the Torpals sent 12 of their ships to deal with them, but were forced to recall four of them to help combat the ViS, who were proving difficult to deal with. They attacked the Torpals ships engines and disabled them.

The Wexxians knew that the Icthians would get to them first, even if the Station pressed its engines to the max to get to the Torpal reinforcements. So they tried a risky tactic with the Torpal ships. They had them make a micro-hyperspace jump to get closer to the station. It worked and the ships reappeared right between the Originator and the charging enemy ships. The Torpals began “Taking out the trash”.

The Torpals used EMP charges to even the odds with the ViS. The ViS retaliated by boarding their ships with their Zero-Point Spec-Ops.

The Nauceans called and informed that they had found a medium affective cure for the parasite and that they would arrive as soon as they could.

Five Torpal Warships where ripped to shreds by the ViS weapons. The Torpals, now enraged with the destruction of five of their ships at once, went berserk. Hundreds of missiles began streaking through the air, and turret fire began blasting into the sides of the ViS strippers. All hell broke loose.

Just outside of the battle, space rippled and the Naucean Mother Sphere - Sina arrived with the Oifan-Umtag ships and Mallen Medical Transport orbiting the ship… They had arrived with the cure!

The Icthian commander gave the order to ram the Wexxian Originator Station, they where out of missiles and hoped that this could ensure victory for the Halcyon. But the ships where stopped before they could reach the Originator.

Having learned the allies had found a cure, the uninfected ViS V-Men snuck aboard the ships in the Thishen system; deactivated them, and introduced the Naucean cure.

After some time… the most of the Parasites had died and the battle was over.

The End of the Halcyon War:
The Cure was spread by the LAH forces, within years, the parasite had been completely eradicated in the known parts of the galaxy.

After the battle the captains and crews where invited to the Originator for debriefing and repairs/refuelling of their ships.

The Wexxian leader himself took the task of debriefing the commanders of the allied ships, he talked about how they where all an interstellar family, how this was a new beginning and that the universe was a dangerous place but if they stood together they would prevail. The debriefing ended with the awarding of medals to the captains and officers who had made it possible to achieve victory, the Wexxian Star was given to all the commanders and the Torpal commander was also given the Wexxian Tri-Halo for acts of singular daring, courage and homicidal insanity.

The debriefing did not take long, but the after battle party took almost two days; in which substantial amounts of alcoholic Grobut and other near illegal alcoholic liquids where consumed, the Wexxian responded to this by decreasing their behaviours inhibiter's and joining the fun!

The price of repairing the Station after the party rivalled the cost of rebuilding all the Wexxian installation the Halcyon forces had destroyed.

The days where also marked by many religious sermons, in remembrance of the fallen. Priests from the different religions where given rooms aboard the Originator, to act as temporary churches/temples while the proper rituals where conducted.

The wounded from the battle where treated by the Mallen doctors/healers but since their ship was not big enough to hold all the wounded and in-treatment Halcyon infected, the Wexxians also set up a large medical facility on the Originator where they got treated and transported away.

Already the hour after the battle had ended the Wexxians began the process of rebuilding their infrastructure, and the day after they sent transports to the systems tainted by the war to help rebuild.

Each year after the war, The Wexxians received gifts from the Nauceans in the holiday where they mourn the losses of the Serina catastrophe.

The leader of the ViS had been destroyed in the Serina explosion. However, while in the care of the Wexxians, the leader agreed to take part in a highly experimental procedure. The leader's program was bred with that of a Wexxian scientist in the way that Wexxians usually breed with each other. Observation by the Wexxians and ViS technicians revealed that the programme was viable and would undergo a juvenile phase like all Wexxians. The upbringing of the Heir was split between its Wexxian parent and the automated systems used to bring up and educate juvenile ViS. In time, it took up the duty of running the ViS Administration. These events strengthened ViS-Wexxian relations at a time when the ViS had the animosity of most of the CAB.

Once again, Peace was present in the Galaxy… And the Wexxians looked forward to a bright future…

The Battle of Thishen - http://www.gamingsteve.com/blab/index.php?topic=3888.0

After the war, the Wexxians assisted in rebuilding the galactic infrastructure and even terraformed the third planet in the Thishen system and named it Azuron. The planet became home for many species from all over the galaxy, most of them settled in the biggest city on the planet; Indigo city.

During the time from the Halcyon war till The Necrid Discord War, the Wexxians strengthened their political position in the galaxy and their programming ensured that they always where the first to risk their own lives in order to save the lives of anyone in danger or trouble, giving them a reputation for heroics among such races as the xx. Also in the field of engineering the Wexxians shined with their fast and advanced star ships.

The Late Golden Age
With their political position in the galaxy and the C.A.B. strengthened after the Halcyon War, the Wexxians enjoyed both respect from their fellow species and the prosperity of the cultural and economical boom that followed the end of the war.

Some time after the end of the war, the Serlans faced a crisis; their home system came under attack from deadly parasitic beings. The Torpals send two warships to the system and asked the CAB for some Mallen, Naucean, and Wexxian scientists to accompany them t find a cure.

The Wexxians where eager to help and send their first capital class ship: The Wexxian Champion; Forefather. The ship was not even finished when it flew out of the space-dock, the weapons did not work, but it was filled with Wexxian scientists and doctors to help.

The Wexxians terraformed the second planet from the sun and named it Azuron. They asked all the species they where in communication with to help with providing plant and wildlife. They also invited all species to send settlers to colonize the young world… they began a great experiment to build a multispecial society of peace and understanding.

The Auyuelcliads where the first to send both animals and scientists, they also erected a Dhulam NatureTender Temple where their priests could aid life and meditate in the perfect tranquillity of a new world. The temple was founded in the Sesmar Crater, where a meteor struck around ten thousand years ago and changed the planets orbit a great deal.

The new ViS leader also contacted the Wexxians; asking if he could make a colony for his new experimental ViS 2.1 to develop a distinct new and fresh culture. He also offered to help populate the oceans of Azuron. The Wexxians of course accepted his offer with open arms.

Indigo City was the first ever City-S hip created by the Wexxians, it was landed by the western shore of the largest continent. The majority of the settlers from other species made a home for themselves there as the Wexxians did not whish to strain the young ecosystem by making many cities.

The planet had multiple different environments, ranging from desserts to rainforests and should suit many of the intelligent species in the galaxy. The ground was full of minerals and resources that had never been exploited due to the Wexxians preference of mining in zero gravity.

The ViS built with a permit from the Wexxians a colony in archipelago directly west of Indigo city. The colony on Azuron was quickly constructed and Named 'Nova City-1'

Another species named the Eodu send colonists and helped build Great Forum and a Academy of Philosophy in the central parts of Indigo City.

Many species followed and Indigo City on Azuron became a bustling metropolis.

Meanwhile the Wexxians made peaceful contact with a species known as the Tiki and a species called the xx.

The xx Incident

During a visit to the home system of the xx; the xx Senate tried seizing complete power. They attempted to evacuate the system of all non-xx using their covert ops arm, Perihelion 7. Those in-system at the time (the Grell, Tiki and Wexxians) were asked to evacuate the system to avoid any harm befalling them. The Tiki and Grell promptly left, but the Wexxians persisted in asking for any ways to help.

The xx Senate refused to answer or give any information, but the Wexxian ship received a transmission from a badly-damaged xx ship asking for help. The Wexxian vessel hurried to assist the damaged ship, but the signal was suddenly jammed and the Wexxians received a warning that they where trespassing and would be shoot down if they continued.

The Wexxians replied that they did not have a choice… they had to help!

As they approached the damaged xx ship, they received another transmission; pleading them to save themselves. But the Wexxians did not flee… they continued, determined to save the crew of the ship if there was the least chance of it.

But without warning; a hi-ex plasma missile struck the crippled vessel's engine, caused a chain reaction which destroyed the vessel within seconds.

The Wexxians where shocked, they had never seen such cold-hearted display of brutality.

It was dark chapter of Wexxian history, but an important one too: It is the first recorded incident of a Wexxian being furious; they sent a message to the xx Senate demanding them to stand down and explain the incident before the CAB military would be called in.

Grellian and Renfoldan troops arrived in the system. They where there to free the xx from the corrupt Senate.

The Perihelion 7 ships in the system begin firing at the newly arrived ships after order from the xx senate. Thousands upon thousands of missiles flied from every conceivable corner of the xx system towards the Grell/Renfold fleets.

The Wexxian ship send the information they had received about the corrupt xx senate to the Grellian and Renfoldan ships in the hope of making sure that the alliances like the CAB would know of this and send help.

Right after having passed the information, the Wexxian ship was struck by a xx missile and it exploded.

The non- Perihelion 7 xx ships began questioning the reason why they fought against their friends, especially the deaths of the Wexxians had shook them. After a few conversations with the xx people who had long been suspicious of the Senate, the non P-7 xx ships withdrew.

Now outnumbered and outgunned the xx ships in service of the senate began loosing drastically… in a desperate attempt to keep their power, the senate ordered the destruction of the planetary shield generators to harm the amassing ships.

Meanwhile the people of the xx where outraged by the actions of the senate and they overthrew them with force.

At the same time, some of the precursor artefacts on the planets activated and an evil species; the Rinthuu began spreading destruction.

This complex situation was resolved when the last remaining Perihelion-7 ship crashed itself into the forerunner artefact: Ensuring the defeat of the Rinthuu.

The newly reformed xx decided that they would join the C.A.B. in order to repay their debt to the Wexxians.

It did not take long before the Wexxians send ships and personnel to help rebuild the xx infrastructure.

'''Machine. One.'''

The ViS where contacted by an artificial construction with an AI, calling itself Machine One. The being was looking for its creator, who it believed would instruct with a purpose. It was under the impression that it was the only AI in existence… It disputed the possibility of the Wexxian as they to the being could not exist.

Trying to prove themselves to exist, the Wexxians send a contact to communicate with Machine. One.

It was immensely hard for the primitive AI to comprehend that it was not the only AI in the universe.

Fearing that Machine One might become violent if it overheated its processor by contemplating the illogic of its situation, the Wexxians decided to try to make it logical to it.

They tried with one of the Wexxian laws of logic. The alien AI took long time thinking about this and the Wexxians took this opportunity to remind, that as an AI, it was up to Machine One. To make its own purpose and mission in life… it was not its creator… it is what separates intelligence from automatism.

After further negotiations the Wexxians send the entity their entire collected knowledge: Historical files, mission reports, research into all the Wexxians had ever been interested in (mainly Xeno biology and psychology), art, poetry and all that that they hoped would help Machine. One. to learn about life...

It did not understand half of it but became aware that the Wexxians had emotions and it requested to gain the program the Wexxians use to simulate them… they send it and waited.

After having been assured that the program had worked, the Wexxians parted ways with Machine. One. They have not heard from it since.

The Discovery of R.I.T.

The Founders of the C.A.B.: the Oifan-Umtag, discovered an exciting new technology; a way to travel any distance instantly. They called it the "Bubble Drive".

It worked like a wormhole but used a lot less energy as it did not need to connect to the destination but instead created a bubble of warped space-time around the drive. The process cost less energy but it was extremely difficult to direct the destination as it required immense calculations.

The entire CAB celebrated at this wonderful news but it was only the beginning, for the Oifan-Umtag soon revealed the true scope of their grand project.

The RIT Generators!

RIT stands for "Remote Instantaneous Transportation." A RIT Generator basically creates a wormhole from itself to another vessel (or a group of vessels) then closes their end (with the vessels now inside the half-wormhole). Then it opens the wormhole up somewhere else.

They had constructed one fully functional generator: Deep Roots and had 3 more under construction. They were to be used primarily for commerce, tourism, and science.

Exited by this new breakthrough the Wexxians began to go over the research and technical schematics of the RIT generator...

A weird discovery was made when a Wexxian engineer proclaimed that he had seen that kind of a system before. He showed the RIT generators schematics beside a plan of a hitherto unknown devise on the precursor station Originator it had not been active for millions of years and the Wexxians never knew what it was.

They quickly contacted the Oifan-Umtag to tell of this amazing discovery… a R.I.T. generator in the primary systems of the Wexxians home base.

The Oifan-Umtag helped the Wexxians to activate the slumbering devise and they soon discovered that the Originators method of generating the R.I.T. holes where based on graviton manipulation.

The Wexxians did not put much thought into it, but they where in control of one of the most powerful weapons in the galaxy as the three Zero-Point generators would make the Stations graviton manipulation capabilities even more powerful than the Naucean Motherspheres.

The galaxy seemed to be the friendliest place imaginable; the competition between O.T.H.E.R. and C.A.B. gave birth to great advances in all fields. The golden age was at it peak… but in the horizon, storm clouds where gathering.

The Downfall:
The times changed however and after only a few decades after the beginning of the golden age a terrible treachery unfolded when the traitor Nemesis allied himself with the Necromonicon and captured the Originator station for its technology and power. The Wexxians where devastated by this and decided to divert all their recourses to capture Nemesis and end the Necromonicon threat.

The events of the war are murky and it is uncertain what really happened but the war was long lasting and scarred much of the galaxy. The brave soldiers of the alliances lead by the fierce and noble Torpals, fought the Necromonicon menace until the final battle where the Wexxians detonated the Originator, annihilating half of the Necrid armada leaving the rest at the hands of the Allied forces.

After the battle; the galaxy was safe. The Wexxians however, had lost all… their navy had been devastated during the war, they had lost their home and Nemesis’s betrayal sent the Wexxians into a deep depression that influenced their ability to keep their inbuilt virus at bay. In the following time 95% of the Wexxian population died of this effect, later named “The Wexxian Plague!” Some Wexxians De-evolved into work droids in order to save themselves from death, while the rest of the Wexxian remnant scattered across the galaxy, fleeing from the bad memories of the war.

200 years went by. The Wexxians lived as a nomadic people, travelling in convoys from system to system, scraping together a living from what they could find. Their base code degenerated and their “Protection of life and freedom” behaviour was forgotten and they lost their lovable “Hippie” personalities… they became the New-Wexxians!

The Age of Reclamation:


The Restoration came with the discovery of another precursor station after following a map salvaged from the remains of the old Originator. The station was named; the Licentia Station, by Lord “Axon” leader of the new unified Wexxian species.
