The legacy of the Ancient Ones belongs to us...

- King Mirras III

The Borealis Grox Empire is a splitten faction of mutated Grox and the most powerful native empire of the Borealis Galaxy. Under the rule of the malevolent and godlike Regnatus, the Borealis Grox are a grave threat to all life in the galaxy.

History

Archaic history

The Grox arrived in Borealis 5 billion years in the past, where at the time they were a colony of the Grox Meta-Empire led by the Grox King Mirras I. Colonizing the Core Region of the galaxy, the Grox managed to obtain an extensive and well-defended territory in the Core.

The Grox would then meet resistance in the form of the Kormacvar Empire, the galaxy's precursors and most powerful inhabitants. The war between the Grox and the Kormacvar raged on for around 500,000 years, the Kormacvar using weapons such as Project Armageddon and the Grid to combat the cyborgs, but in the end, the Grox emerged victorious and became the rulers of the galaxy.

With the Kormacvar out of their way, the Grox started to learn how to use the Grid to their advantage. It was then that the Kormacvar warmaster Regnatus merged his soul into the Grid and used its power to override and dominate the minds and bodies of the Grox, turning them into his mindless thralls. After this, the Grox entered a state of seclusion and their presence remained unknown until the recent times.

The Great Purging

Great Purging

The Great Purging against the Zoles Imperium

5 billion years later, the Borealis Grox emerged from the shadows, now with a new puppet leader in the form of King Kirras III. When the Zoles Imperium tried to expand it's influence to the core, the Grox easily defeated them, pushing them back to the Arm of Knowledge. King Mirras III then ordered what is known as The Great Purging, where all non-Grox life of the core was exterminated. From this day forward, the core was now a death-zone known as "Center of Death".

The empire also got Marinox drones from the Milky Way Grox, but only managed to create their own Life Generator many years later.

The Borealis Grox remained hidden for the following years, waiting for their chance to strike. A group of Ottzelloan Grox and Ottzelloan Marinox, rebelling from UNO, would join the Borealis Grox Empire sometime after they arrived in Borealis.

Second Borealis Galactic War

A Vague Fear

The Grox coming in contact with the Vague

The Grox became fully active once again during the Second Borealis Galactic War. During the Xi'Arazulha invasion, the Grox were sneakily robbed by the Borealis Consortium Network, who stole several artifacts off a Grox world. In retribution, the Grox destroyed thousands of BCN-aligned planets, while the Xi'Arazulha still caused damage across the galaxy. When the forces of Order pushed into the Core, the Grox were too occupied fighting the ultraterrestrial monsters to notice them.

After the Xi'Arazulha were defeated and the Vague arrived, the Grox came back to their mysterious plans. However, they would be hindred by the defeat and surrender of the Grox Meta-Emperor during the New Grox Wars, which caused the Borealis Grox's devices to temporarely glitch. It was discovered that the Grox were the only thing the Vague feared, but no one knew exactly why. The Borealis Grox would also indoctrinate King Thylaxiz to their side, and give him mysterious powers.

When the War Economy was introduced, the Grox remained completely unnaffected by it, as they were a post-scarcity society. During this time, the Borealis Grox came into contact with the Nexus Grox, with deals between the two factions being made centered around the largest threat to the Grox in Borealis: the Junction. During the Hegdar Revolution, the Borealis Grox were also revealed to be the masters of the Hegdar Warband, using them as puppets and servants.

Characteristics

Species

Society

The Borealis Grox lack a society structure, being all mindless drones under Regnatus' service. Titles such as commander, capitan, commandant etc are in truth all cosmetic. However, the Grox King has a degree of independance, making him unique.

Equipment

Grox Relay

A Grox Relay

The Borealis Grox use both Meta-Empire ships and Ottzelloan Grox ships such as the Ottzelloan Grox Annihilator and the Ottzelloan Grox Assassin. Like some other Grox colonies, the Borealis Grox also possess Marinox and Conqrix drones.

A notable piece of equipment developed by the Borealis Grox are the "Grox Relays". The original Cold Relays created by the Cold Ones were programmed to attack the Grox if they attempted to use them, but after they were killed off, the Grox managed to develop a hacking device which causes the Relay to work on the reverse: allowing the Grox to use it, and attacking non-Grox species.

These Grox Relays differ from regular Relays for their red and purple colouration. They are mostly located on the Inner Core, but several are also scattered around the galaxy, allowing the Grox to jump from arm to arm to center undetected. It should be noted, however, that the Grox don't need the Relays to travel across the galaxy, only doing it for its convenience and lower energy cost.

Fleet

We come.

Borealis Grox Ascended
  • Name - Ascended-class
  • Size - 5-20 kilometers large
  • Weaponry - Spatial compression waves, transphasic antimatter missile launchers, planet-glasser superlasers, ion autoblasters, ion repeater blasters, trators

The Ascended-class is an enormous, several kilometers large dreadnought capable of not only being a spaceship, but also a land vehicle. Exclusive to the Borealis Grox, the Ascended-class is notable for being a "living" spaceship, a self-conscious half-biological, half-machine titan capable of taking out entire fleets unassisted. Very few Ascended-class spaceships currently exist, but their number only grows in number.

Individuals

King Mirras III

The legacy of the Ancient Ones is mine.

King Mirras III is the puppet leader of the Borealis Grox and one of the most feared figures of the entire galaxy. An ancient Grox with a strange set of emotions, Mirras III has been planning something for centuries. Exactly what is still unknown, but the Second Borealis War will be the place where this plan will take action.

Mirras III is unique for possessing strange psychic abilities.

Commandant Khensu

The Borealis Grox cannot be defied.

Commandant Khensu is Mirras III's highest ranking warrior and the leader of the Marinox inside the Borealis Grox Empire. He notably differs from other Marinox for sharing his skin with a Borealis Grox's, having a sadistic personality and an apparent group mind with Mirras III.

Khensu possesses strange abilities that allow him to take control of Conqrix and Marinox drones. Exactly how this happens is still unknown.

KingThylaxizPic

Freedom for the Ottzelloan drones.

Thylaxiz was a major member of the Unified Nation of Ottzello before joining the Borealis Grox. He is the internal leader of the Ottzelloan Grox, Marinox and Conqrix inside the Borealis Grox Empire.

Two notable things about Thylaxiz is his ability of disabling UNOS on UNO's Ottzelloan Grox/Marinox/Conqrix drones, as well as his mysterious flagship, which possesses both organic and synthetic traits.

Regnatus

You cannot compreend the magnitude of my presence.

Regnatus is a titanic half-organic half-synthetic dreadnought, inhabitated by the soul of a Kormacvar Warmaster, who serves as the ultimate leader and mastermind behind the Borealis Grox Empire and the Alvino Brood. Uniting the near god-like technology of the Kormacvar, the Grox, and vast knowledge of Gyronic energy, Regnatus is by far the most powerful entity to ever exist in the Borealis Galaxy.

Completely focused on his goal of recreating the Kormacvar species, He sees everything around him as merely tools for his grand schemes. In Kormacvar terms, Regnatus is completely deranged and insane. Cruel and pityless, Regnatus cares very little for the well-being of the galaxy he once sworn to protect, and will exterminate anyone who tries to meddle with his plans.
