Prologue
The Cognatus civilization originated in the unknown regions of the First Gigaquadrant in the series of galaxies known only as the Cognatus Cluster. The Cognatus were originally a peaceful organization of likeminded religious civilizations, however as the passage of time went on, they became increasingly militant and xenophobic. Meanwhile, the spirit of saw the Cognatus has the perfect implements in his grand schemes. He used his spirit to manifest himself before the Cognatus leadership, as he could not use his true form, which was locked away by the. The spirit spoke to the three startled leaders and told them of the heresy of the civilizations of the. The leaders became furious at the things the Dark Lord told them, and immediately prepared their forces for an assault, like no other, on the Galaxy.

In the early weeks of 11 BTC, Cognatus Battlecruisers were first spotted on the fringes of space. The Basileus decided to ignore these trespassers, but kept a close eye on them as they approached space. At last, two weeks into their voyage to Cyrannus, they came across the Seleynia planet, where the Intergalactic War, truly began.

Year 10 BTC
In the aftermath of the attack on the USS Hood and the discovery of the ancient artifacts on the unknown world, the Capricorn Sector Alliance and Rambo Nation began to prepare their fleets for the inevitable conflict that lay ahead. Many empires came to their aid, but the Cognatus had the early advantage, the allies knew nothing about them, their culture nor their technology. The early weeks of the war were quiet, but this all changed when the Cognatus attacked the CSA colony of Eire in the Outer Rim of Cyrannus. When the CSA officials spoted the Cognatus fleet, they were shocked to learn that it was in fact made of an unknown material. A few hours later, complete contact was lost with the planet and a CSA strikeforce was sent to retake Eire, however they found that the entire planet had been layed to waste and glassed, with no survivors. However, after many weeks of conflict and aid from Admiral Cretacea, the Cognatus were forced to regroup. The Eire campaign, as it became known, become one of the most important victories of the war, despite occuring in its early stages. In the aftermath of this CSA victory, the Doriaca Kingdom joined with the allies against the new threat of the Cognatus. During the early months of 10 BTC, the Capricorn Sector Alliance was refomed by President Apollo into the United Republic of the Cyrannus Galaxy, primarilly due to combatting the Cognatus threat. Meanwhile, the Rambo began researching into the Lost unknown structures found all across the Quadrants and the Cyrannus Galaxy, perhaps linked to the Rambo Gods and maybe even the Thirteenth Tribe. And the all powerful Delpha Coalition of Planets joined the War. Thel'Vicliquam, and his flagship the Shadow of Liberty began a campaign against Rambo Nation during these early stages of the war, attacking convoys on the Cyrannus-Quadrantia Wormhole near the planet Yudumarth however before Captain Ramcard could catch it, it vanished from sight.

However, during this time, a new nation was found, the Ancientia Kingdom made first contact with the URC, and a strong alliance was born between both the the Ancientia, and the URC and Rambo Nation.

Year 9 BTC
As 9 BTC began, the new found Acientia reconnected with their other Rambo brothers and sisters of Quadrant 82 and pledged a large taskforce to helping the allies against the Cognatus juggernaut, which was now terrorizing Rambo fleets across Quadrant 82 such as the Battle of Javan, when the Shadow of Liberty attacked the Rambo ships, in a process that appeared similar to a game.

Meanwhile, on Eire, the Cognatus still controlled large regions near the poles of the planet and quickly learned the location of the rich colony of Cadian, often known as the capital of the Outer Rim of Cyrannus. By the time three CCS-class Battlecruisers arrived in orbit over Cadian, they were quickly attacked by the defending URC Fleet, which although doing quite well intially, failed to bring down the shields of the Cognatus craft. The majority of the URC fleet was destroyed, and the planet was soon glassed, with little survivors. Back in Quadrant 82, Captain Rambam continued on his quest to rescue Princess Ramtilsae, who was kidnapped by bounty hunters. Due to his intelligence and bravery, he rescued her, and returned her to the Rambo Capital. However, perhaps the darkest day in the war was overlooked by later scholars, but while on Eire, Republic troopers battling the Cognatus discovered an ancient artifact which led them to an unknown lava planet deep in the unknown regions. The planet had many old ruins, and many words and phrases were found upon them, such as Nagith, Apocalypta and the famous phrase, All of this has happened before... However, before the team sent to the planet could explore further, an unknown entity awakened, its power sent fear down the backs of the Libertus troopers, who were driven mad by the entity's evil gaze. However, no word was given to Republic Command about this event, as no Republic force lived to tell the tale...

However the war with the Cognatus was about to become truly intergalactic, with the Delpha Coalition of Planets invading Cognatus space in the Milky Way. The DCP's early victories in this campaign gave the citizens of Cyrannus a bit of hope in a darkening war. However, this did little to halt the unrelenting Cognatus genocide on Cyrannus, within this year, the majority of the URC colonies in the Outer Rim were destroyed and glassed by the Cognatus, crippling the trade lanes of the galaxy.

Year 8 BTC
The year of 8 BTC began on a very dark note for the allied forces. The United Republic of Cyrannus, despite being quite young of age, was going through one of the most dramatic economic downturns in recent Gigaquadrantic History, due to the Cognatus destroying the Outer Rim colonies of the URC, effectively strangling the Inner Rim and the Core Worlds. It was only through the leadership of President Apollo that the nation mustered up the moral to fight the Cognatus. The Cognatus understood that if they killed Apollo, the Republic would crumple easily to their might. They learned that Apollo was visiting Coruindia in the Core Worlds, and that he was lightly guarded. They sent their most lethal servant, the Martyr to kill Apollo, however they failed to anticipate the power of the Miluiel, who were protecting Apollo, and this cost them the life of the Martyr, who was killed by the energies of an Miluiel. Meanwhile on the Rambo Capital Planet, Princess Ramtilsae discovered another ancient structure dedicated to the Rambo Ultimate God. While exploring, she found the ancient Rambo starship, the USS Boneventura, but could not explore it as many Cognatus troopers entered from beyond a portal. Her soliders killed and captured the Cognatus warriors, while she made her way further into the relic, where she found an individual known as the Judge of the Shrine. The two travelled together to the Core of the Planet and Ramtilsae met the Ancrevialicia. Ramtilsea soon invited them to leave the core and enter the Rambo society, something they hesitantly agreed with.

Meanwhile, the Cognatus also came under attack by the Vartekian Empire, who in particular dealed with General Arivino, whoses failures made him the desgrace of the Cognatus, who decided to disown him and mark him for dead.

Year 7 BTC
7 BTC was one of the most devastating years of the Intergalactic War. After the near complete annhilation of the Outer Rim Colonies of the URC, the Cognatus armada began its genicidal crusades into the Inner Rim, one of the most heavily populated regions of the galaxy. As the Cognatus reached closer and closer to the Core Worlds, the swept aside smaller empires with ease, glassing them, killing millions if not billions of civilians and military alike. It was truly a dark time for the URC, which had yet to see an era of peace. Everyday, more and more reports came to the Cyrannian Government of the loss of hundreds of innocent wars. President Apollo, furious with these defeats ordered the largest military action in the recent history of Cyrannus to protect innocent worlds from Cognatus destruction. A new ship class, the Nebula-class Star Destroyer was built at Scorpia Fleet Shipyards, armed with a superlaser, its designers hoped that it would take the battle to the Cognatus. Its first test run occured over the ice planet AO-192, when the Nebula-class prototype, the Purger ambused a Cognatus fleet repairing for another attack. Jumping out of lightspeed, the Purger immediately armed it's superlaser and fired it directly at the CCS-class Battlecrusier, before it could raise its shields, destroying it. The success of this new ship evened out the war throughout this year, but to the dismay of the URC, the Nebula-class were too few to change the outcome of the war, and their numbers quickly began to dwindle to the might of the Cognatus. The Fall of the Inner Rim seemed to be finished, though luckily help was at hand. The DCP responded to the aid of the URC, and quickly began to halt the Cognatus advances in the Inner Rim, though facing heavy casualities, the tide of war quickly started to change.

Year 6 BTC
As 6 BTC began, the Delpha Coalition wasn't the only faction winning victories against the Cognatus. After facing some defeats in the early years of the war, the leadership sent their most vicious and important admiral,  to fight against the Cognatus. Shipmaster Ari'Vino was sent to combat against the fearless Votarah and faced him many times in battle. The two battled several times to near death, but always finding new ways to prolong both of their demise. On one occasion, Ari'Vino was captured by Vartekian and brought before Votarah. Because of this, he was disowned by the Cognatus and destined to live the rest of his live in shame. Meanwhile in the Outer Rim, the Cognatus decide to invade the illusive, a race that had not yet come to the forefront of galactic politics. Taking a large fleet, the Cognatus, under the command of invaded Basileus space. However, they had greatly underestimated their victims. As soon as the first Cognatus ship entered Basileus space, they were immediately engaged by huge Basileus warships. After a series of bloody and brutal battles, the Cognatus decided to retreat and to concentrate their attacks on the falling Republic.

Year 5 BTC
During 5 BTC, the Republic government met together to discuss a transmission sent from the leader of the Vartekians, the coldblooded killer known as Lord Covaitan. Covaitan offered a peace treaty until the Intergalactic War was over and the Cognatus threat, eliminated. Apollo, ever the diplomat, decided to accept Covaitan's offer. The two met on a cold, ice planet in the Mid Rim where they met and discussed the war. The two agreed to cease possible hostilities between the Republic and the Vartekian Empire, until the war is over, at which time they can fight each other once more.
