“Something wicked this way comes!”
- - Unknown
The Apocalypta, originally known as the Warriors of the Revelation are an ancient and mysterious sect of individuals serving under the direct control of Antediluvian, Dark Lord and Emperor of the Galactic Empire of Cyrannus. Originating in ancient times, the Apocalypta initially served as the elite military of the Oikoumene civilisation and even today is ruled by remaining Oikoumene individuals including the Dark Lord Antediluvian and various other less power Lords. In modern times, the Apocalypta rose again after millions of years of inactivity and began to recruit powerful members of other less advanced races to do the bidding of the more powerful Oikoumene.
Striking from the shadows, the lethality of the Apocalypta was well known across the Oikoumene civilisation with the Apocalyptan leader, Antediluvian being considered the most powerful Oikoumene in existence, not only due to the vast military might under his command, but because of his mysterious powers that defy even Oikoumene knowledge. In modern times, Antediluvian used these powers as well as his own resolve and meticulous planning to bring about Apocalyptan rule by creating the vast Galactic Empire of Cyrannus. The creation of the Empire opened the ranks of the still entirely secretive sect, resulting in the indoctrination of several powerful beings designed to do the Dark Lord's bidding.
History
Apotheosis
The Primercer speaks with Antediluvianás.
“We must maintain order in the mother galaxy.”
- - Antediluvian
Like the Oikoumene themselves, the history of the Apocalypta is utterly known. Perhaps the details regarding the origins of this mysterious group reside only in the incomprehensible minds of Antediluvian and the other remaining Oikoumene leaders, though if this is the case, there is no way to ascertain the truth for certainty. When the Apocalypta were eventually established as the "Warriors of the Revelation", they were led by Antediluvianás, a fair and just individual considered by most to be the most powerful Oikoumene in existence. Other notable Oikoumene known to have joined the Apocalypta in this era were Ekrillium and Apeligateza,who continue to serve Antediluvian to this day. During the Apotheosis Era, the Apocalypta were responsible for crushing any and all rebellion against the Oikoumene civilisation. However, the Primercer, the leader of the Oikoumene grew jealous of the power Antediluvian had amassed and attempted to destroy the Apocalypta from within.
Reasserting Influence
Millions of years after he began his long hibernation, Antediluvian awoke during the Intergalactic War in a more different world. It is unknown why Antediluvian choose to awake at this time in history, but some believe he was brought out of hibernation by the meddling of crashed Republic troopers. Nevertheless, he quickly began to gather any and all information about the current timeline, eventually forming the intricate stages of his Grand Plan around the current political atmosphere. Wasting no time, he began to reassert his dominance, with many powerful acolytes quickly joining him, believing that he was a god. Antediluvian also began to reawaken some of his chief Apocalyptan lieutenants such as Ekrillium.
Antediluvian makes peace with the Atlantica.
During this time, the Apocalypta came into conflict with the ancient Atlantica, former allies of the Oikoumene and a definite threat to Apocalyptan plans. The conflict resulted in many deaths and destruction on both sides, but ultimately ended with Antediluvian mysterious making peace with these powerful enemies, no doubt for some nefarious purpose.
Dark Times
When Antediluvian began to finalise the first stage of his master plan, he formed the Galactic Empire of Cyrannus, ending the Great Cyrannus War and bringing about the order that the Apocalypta craved. Meanwhile, the many acolytes served the Emperor's wishes to the best of their ability, infiltrating enemy factions and eliminating potential threats through the galaxy and beyond.
The acolytes confront the Primercer.
However, when the Cognatus Empire managed to awaken the ancient Primercer, the Apocalypta were forced to mobilise for war. Led by the acolyte Agonânghâsh, the Apocalypta managed to cause severe damage to the infrastructure of the Primercer's new capital but ultimately failed to kill their old nemesis.
