Fiction:Andromeda Galaxy/Codex

"Andromeda is the galaxy of dawn, where the young rise and the old is discovered."

- Unknown

Here is the codex of the most important Andromedan empires.

The Venhokwe are one the oldest races in the universe. They evolved without need for weapons, and so they were crippled during the first phase of a massive inter-galactic war, but in the long run, they were able to fight back and defeat their oppressors. Following a religious mass suicide ritual, the entire species dove into a black hole for the unholy destruction caused by the war. Most of the the remaining Venhokwe were destroyed by the Cyber-Rabids, the Grox, and other species of the Andromeda.

Tertamian Alliance
The Tertamian Alliance was one of the civilisation who rose shortly after the fall of Venhokwe, inheriting their technology and quickly advancing.

However, after several millenia of thriving, the Tertamian Alliance has mysteriously vanished, leaving nothing but the few artifacts and technology.

The Wentals are an angry and rage filled entity. They were once the same as all the other creatures in the universe, but then they were attacked repeatedly by external enemies. Over time, they came to hate all non-Wentalian life. However, it would be an unexpected entity that would cause their final transformation into the current Wentals Empire. The Sacis released a nanotech plague upon them with the intent of turning them into machines and then taking control of them. The process went wild, corrupting entire biospheres and creating 12 T4 Botworlds 22 other, less stable Botworlds. 72% of all Wentalian Life went extinct in the event, called the Mechanization. The Wentals are just as vengeful and angry as ever, but are now completely different and isolated from the rest of the universe.

The Draconis Empire is an ancient galactic territory originating from Andromeda's inner-rim. It is one of several vying for dominance within the galaxy and is an empire notorious for it's romanesque style of government along with expanding through the use of Einstein-Rosen bridges. A characteristic trait of their territory - and a result of their unconventional expansion - is that it is is widely spread out in dense clusters across large tracts of the galaxy.

The empire itself is made up of many dozens of vassal states (called protectorates) that pay tribute and upport to the imperial government in exchange for protection.

The Ventals are a strange form of Mecholife. Living on a world where mecholife has gone with the HyperEvolution path, they were able to evolve from simple animals to a spacefaring species in a mere 4 months of time, jumping billions of years in mere months. Impressive, yes, but it has a limit. They have reached the epitome of what Mecholife can achieve. As a shape-shifting nanobot mass, they are as good as it gets for Mecholife.

The Coalition is an alliance of native species of Twilight Sector, banded together to fight against the rule of the Divinarium. Led by the warrior race known as Artharons, these five empires were fighting a war for their survival to fend off Radeon invaders, war known as Second War of Twilight. As said war ended, the two civilisation now exist in uneasy peace. The Coalition holds the largest amount of systems in the Twilight Sector but its inferiority in technology when compared to Divinarium puts them to the same level.
