Fiction:Kread Galaxy

Information
The Kread Galaxy is a relatively small galaxy a bit North of our Galaxy, the Milky Way. It is about 70,000 parsecs in diameter and holds more than a quadrillion sentient species. Some notable species are the Kedian, the Sholian and the Kumblezoid pirates. The Humbloid also originated here. It is very close to the Milky Way, and the gravity produced by it means that Kread appears to spin visibly from the Milky Way's point of view.

History
The Kread galaxy formed 12 billion years ago, about the same time as our galaxy. The first life appeared at the same time, a ledgendary flying dragonoid species which, according to old tales, built the suns with its fire. 7 billion years after, small microbes appeared in the oceans of many planets, and an asteroid from another galaxy flew toward the galactic core. It split into thousands of parts and each impacted into different planets. Each contained a tiny microbe that would lead to many of the greatest races. The largest fragment landed in the galactic core and is rumored to have contained Steve. Soon after, many species evolved from these microbes, and eventually became primitive societies. Ancient spacefarers roamed the stars, species evolved more intelligence, and things slowly came forward on a galactic scale. An old race, now extinct, decided it wanted to speed things up to create more interesting allies and enemies. It gained authorization from the government, and began a two year project on a machine to make evolution faster. The machine was finished and it was prepared for testing. They flew to a preset test planet, with a tribal race inhabiting it. The machine dropped a ball of light on the planet, and it quickly spread around the whole planet, disappearing as suddenly as it arrived. A few hours afterwards, the new race contacted the species that had uplifted it. The message was this: "Hail the fathers. We are your sons, your servants, your slaves. Your experiment was a huge success and we applaud you for the intelligence you granted us. Now we shall grant you with death. Thank you for your gift. We are the Kumblezoid. Fear us.
