Fiction:Hegemony/History

Ancient History
To understand the history of the Hegemony, we must look back at their progenitor race, the Angelic Hegemony. The angels themselves were actually a mixture of a metal body and pure energy. No one knows what the Angelic Hegemony looked like before they made the transition to this form, but in doing so they gained incredible power.

There were three types of "angels". Light angels were your average citizen, profecient with light based energy. Dark angels had black energy coming from their core instead of white energy, and were skilled with dark based energy. The splitting of the species intially caused several bloody wars, but these were long gone by the time of the golden age.

The final species of angels were grey's. If a dark and a light mated, there was a small chance of a grey being created. Greatley profecient at all types of energy manipulation, the greatest hero's of the Angelic Hegemony were greys.

The Angelic Hegemony lived in great mega pillar structures that shot up for miles into the stratosphere. This meant that a planet owned by them would usaully have only a few towers, with the rest of the planet being wild.

Despite there advanced technology and powers, the Angelic Hegemony was nearly brought to ruin. A race of "Demons" invaded there territory, cutting a bloody swath through there territory. What irked millitary strategists at the time was the fact that these "Demons" constantly sent out races they had created (One of which was the Living Storm) to assault their postion,

Fortunately, the Enemy was stopped when Armarius the Void Walker launched a single manned berzerker assault on the Arch Demon's headquarters, single handily slaying them all before disappearing. This let the Angelic Hegemony pick up the pieces.

Seeing the effectivness of creating races, they created the three race that form the core of the Hegemony, Zozer,Meta, and Genusian. They advanced the races to early tier 1, not realizing that hatred was boiling between the races. The three races assaulted their masters, driving the Angelic Hegemony to bury their towers and deactivate themselves in an effort to hide. The Angelic Hegemony would not reawaken for many millenia.

As for the three races, they turned on each other, fighting each other until all three has regressed into stone age level civlizations, all traces of their civlization wiped out, stranded on stars near each other.

Unity once more
The races slowly began to climb back up through the technological ages, iron gave way to steel, steam power to nuclear power. Though many obstacles flared up, such a planetary wars and disease, they managed to create a hyperdrive and began exploring.

Upon meeting each other, the three races created a deep alliance and began to explore the Andromeda galaxy. Know as the Confederation of Andromeda, the races seized many par-sects of territory and cleared out many planets for colonization, even if the planet was already inhabited.

However, tension between the races grew into hatred, and eventually lit into war. And as the war raged on, shadowy figurea who had orchestrated it were laughing in secret.

In actuality, the war had been orchestrated by the opulent minority of the Confederacy. Celebrities, Politcians, The remnants of Ancient Royal families, corporate big wigs and more had deduced that keeping a war running imdefintely would allow them to profiteer indefintley on the conflict. This minority, consisting of all races, was content to let the confederacy burn for their own benefit.

Though they believed themselves to be undetectable, a Zozer Admiral named Domovi (Which translates to guardian) was able to deduce that throughout the Confederacy, the opulent were all gaining wealth at the same time in the same ways. Vowing to unite the Confederacy once and for all, he and his fleet searched for like minded military leaders among races.

After managing to convince the majority of the Confederate millitary that they were being duped, Domovi lead them agansit the Opulent few in a brief and bloody conflict. Any soldier loyal to the few in power were swiftly cut down as the troops gained momentum. Domovi succesfuly put an end to the conflict when he obliterated the last hideout of the Opulent using the Confederacie's/Hegemony's first planet buster.

Afterwards, Domovi, realizing that the confederacy has collapsed due to insuffcient government, created a millitary hegemony government to rule. Thus the Hegemony was born from the ashes of war. It swiftly expanded throughout the nearby sectors, bringing prosperity to it.

However, Domovi was tragically killed in a military campaign several centuries after founding the Hegemony (The three races have very long life spans). This lead to many of the old issues of race to begin to boil again. But before the Hegemony could explode back into war, a darker threat forced them to unite.

Though the Andromeda Grox were long gone before the Hegemony formed, some of their automated fleets still exsisted. One of these fleets assualted the Hegemony. After intial heavy losses, the races rallied and defeated the automated invaders. The Hegemony was finally cemented together.

Antebellum
The Antebellum is the period of history modern Hegemony scholars refer to as the era before the Great War against the Tyranny. It is marked be its slow pace, as well as the Hegemony's first interaction with the gigaquadrant as a whole. Technology advanced minimally during this period. Around 4,000 years before the Tyranny war, Marius was sworn into power.

Time wise, the great Tyranny war came 500,000 years after the Hegemony's founding, truly showing how slow paced the period was. Even though the Hegemony's territory grew exponentially, its technology was tier 3.3 by the time of first contact with the Drodo.

However, before the came into contact with the Drodo, they encountered an empire that would soon drive the gigaquadrant into a bloody intergalactic war, they met the Drakodominatus Tyranny. Thus ended the Antebellum, and during first contact with the Tyranny, the opening shots of The Great Tyranny War Began.
