War of Ascension


Chapter 1
Prelude

Much has changed since we were last here, left after we transcended. When we came back, the races that we knew were gone. It seemed that a cataclysmic war had raged through out the galaxy by the surviving races, trying to control our worlds by the power vacuum we left behind. For last 5000 years we have been wandering the universe, exploring, settling, and showing younger races the way. However I am still tormented, scared by the war that had raged in our time as mortals, for I have seen the horrors that our civilization had been through, the death of so many of our citizens who gave their lives, so we could live like this, to live beyond mortality. Many have gotten past the war and told different versions of the war, but I will give you the correct version of it. Because it changed the galaxy, because I was the leader of the Bentusi Federation, Nicholas Olsen, and it changed the fate for our civilization. I remember the time when our first ships set out into the unknown, settled an empire, and made the fateful choise of leaving the U.P. to give freedom to my people. however that was met with a mixed opinion. We were what you would call a neutral civilization during our time in our fleshy state.


Be truthful the war started with the surrendering of the Yor collective. We intervened on their behalf and declared war against the Altarian republic, conquering two of their worlds that were important to the Altarians. after those were taken, we later signed a peace treaty with them. By then establishing that we were the most powerful civilization in the galaxy only second to us at that time was a minor race known as the Akillians, and an amniosity that would linger and come back to haunt us. Several months later we declared war against the Arcean empire that we easiliy won several worlds from them, and a minor race called the scottlingas whose world would soon prove to be a very valuable world of ours in the war.

We were the most advanced civilization but however due to financial mistakes our economy started to go into recession, and by that allowing the very ones that disliked us to get even on the technology of weapons and becoming more powerful. Our military by that time had shrunk because we were trying to replace the outdated vessels with more powerful versions at that time during our recession. However it would take longer time to do this and our military might sank low enough to give the very two civilizations a chance to regain their worlds back, and they took it.[/size][size="5"]
