“Elimate your weakness of trust, choke on your desires and disgusts.”
- - Kithanan
The year is 2893. The Andromeda Galaxy was a gleaming diamond in a sea of darkness and chaos. Alien races and foreign civilizations had once come together to stabilize the political affairs of Andromeda and protect it from both external and internal threat. War had become a discouraged thought, with the heroes of Andromeda fighting for unity and peace amongst the Gigaquadrant, who had come to respect the Andromedan powers for their efforts and assistance in outside conflicts. A beautiful rose at its peak could not be compared to the stylish and traditional beauty of Andromeda's passion and devotion, as well as alien architectures and technologies. A galaxy of knights and brave warriors, dedicated to preserving all that was Andromedan and proud to die for what they believed in. Demons, criminals, rebellions, insurrections, none of it could topple the proud, united society of Andromeda. The Brood of War, a nation of proud, fearless warriors who spent their entire lives training their bodies to extend beyond the limits of normal beings and become the most powerful fighters within existence to defend what they hold dear. The Draconid Imperium, an ancient and technologically beautiful society of proud nobles who wished to bring order and prosperity to all who pledged their name under Andromeda. The Divinarium, an empire who promised death to all those who opposed the name of Spode and guaranteed assistance to all those who they saw as worthy allies and friends. These three empires were Andromeda's finest, the protectors of the Andromedan dream...
No longer.
From the dream that was once Andromeda spawned a nightmare. A former utopia, free for all nations to co-exist, has descended into a devastating spiral of carnage and destruction. Sophisticated societies have crumbled and shattered into criminal organizations and gangs that have dispersed themselves all over the galaxy. Order had been lost and broken beyond repair, stomped upon by greed and criminal warfare. Even the larger influences within Andromeda were not spared from this dystopian fate. The Brood of War, perhaps the largest military organization of old Andromeda, no longer stands and has fallen to the point where Zazane, former warriors of honour, have taken up the mantra of criminals, murderers and raiders. The Imperium stands as a struggling empire, trying to contain the plague of crime and war within the galaxy but with every one threat neutralized, another ten erupted from the ashes. The Divinarium had also suffered the wrath of this downfall, with many turning away from Spode and forming their own gangs and organizations to preserve themselves, what was once one of the most technologically powerful Andromedan influences has now become a small shadow of its former self. But it was not only the appearance of galaxy-wide crime that made this former "Garden of Eden" into the "Pit of Tartarus". Eldritch abominations, Lovecraftian monsters and chaos-seeking demons reigned as the highest authority within Andromeda, with chaotic influences such as the Mali'Nar becoming the dominant rulers over several Segmentums. It seemed as if Andromeda's light has finally blown, plunging the bright and prosperous into darkness and depression.
