In the perceived center of the Federation Spaceway, a tiny blue flame flickered into existence. At first, it was no more than a spark, a harmless wisp of light in the vast darkness. However, as time passed, the flame began to grow, devouring debris, then satellites, then starships, until it was as large as a small moon. Stars vanished in its path, their light swallowed whole. Planets crumbled as its fiery tendrils wove through the cosmos. The flame's growth was unstoppable, consuming everything without pause or discernible reason. This would be known as the Azure Inferno Catastrophe.
2278UB:
Amecka, clad in the Golden Cloak of Liberation, descended upon the spreading chaos caused by the Azure Inferno Catastrophe. Witnessing the devastation, Amecka gathered the leaders of nearby planets, urging them to unite against the common threat. The planets forged an alliance of fleets and set forth to confront the flame. However, the united armadas were reduced to ash, their valiant efforts rendered futile. The blue flame continued its violent expansion, unbothered by their resistance.
Next, Krulljino arrived, draped in the Velvet Veil of Curiosity. Intrigued by the flame's mysterious nature, Krulljino studied its movements and patterns, seeking to understand the force behind its destruction. On the quiet surface of a distant moon, Krulljino carved seven immense stones with ancient symbols of power. With a feat of immense force, they launched the stones at the heart of the blue flame. For a brief moment, it seemed the fire might falter, its expansion momentarily halted. But the flame roared back in defiance, consuming the stones and growing even larger, fueled by the very attempt to contain it.
Finally, Neznee emerged, cloaked in the Platinum Mantle of Tranquility. With serene determination, Neznee approached the raging blue flame. Extending their hands, they entered the heart of the fire, seeking to soothe its destructive rage with their calming essence. Yet, the flame was pure, all-consuming fury, a force beyond even the calmest touch. The closer Neznee ventured, the more fiercely the flame resisted, until it violently expelled them, casting them across the stars. Battered but unbroken, Neznee rose once more, realizing that this enemy could not be subdued so easily.
2279UB:
The trio of divine beings converged on a nearby moon, their meeting remembered for its tension. With Amecka blaming Krulljino’s curiosity for feeding the flame and making it stronger. Krulljino countered, accusing Amecka of arrogance for believing that simple unity alone could prevail against such a force. Neznee, calm but firm, questioned whether either of them truly understood the nature of the flame they faced. The argument grew heated, their divine powers were seen clashing in a dazzling storm of light and sound that lit up the void. Yet, as their anger cooled, their shared pain and purpose came to the forefront. They realized they were bound by the same goal: to stop the flame before it consumed all of existence.
On that desolate moon, the three combined their sacred artifacts. The Golden Cloak of Liberation, the Velvet Veil of Curiosity, and the Platinum Mantle of Tranquility were brought together. Their essences melded in a celestial forge of their own making, transforming into three identical torches. These torches radiated with the unified essence of liberation, curiosity, and tranquility. As they held the torches toward the great blue flame, it split into three equal parts, each part flowing into one of the torches. The divided flame flickered and danced identically within each torch, restrained but not extinguished.
With the Tri-Torches of Eternity in hand, the trio wielded their combined power to divide the flame’s destructive force. Bound by their new, shared mission, they said their goodbyes. Each took a torch and set forth in a different direction, venturing to the farthest reaches of the universe. They knew the blue flames within the torches would always seek to reunite, to become whole once more. Their eternal task was to ensure that time would never come. As Amecka traveled westward, Krulljino headed east, and Neznee journeyed north, their paths stretched endlessly into the Federation Spaceway. Though they parted ways, the memory of their union remained, a legend of liberation, curiosity, and tranquility, united against a force that sought to undo existence itself.
2282UB:
From the ruins of the civilizations destroyed by The Blight, a grim new faith arose: The Blighted Gospel. Survivors, interpreting the annihilation as a form of divine judgment, formed a shared doctrine that framed The Blight's destruction as a necessary, cleansing cycle of universal balance. Known as the Children of the Blight, these followers regarded the planets scarred and marked by The Blight as sacred ground, embarking on pilgrimages to these desolate sites to worship.
The Children of the Blight practiced rituals that reflected the natures of their gods. Fuamudd’s followers engaged in violent combat rituals, offering their defeated foes as sacrifices to prove their dominance and worthiness. Thandra’s followers conducted intellectual trials of impossible riddles and cunning schemes, where failure meant death or exile from the faith. Persedora’s followers held chaotic ceremonies of madness and destruction, featuring wild dances, uncontrolled explosions, and frenzied, ritualistic battles. Entire communities deemed unworthy by the Children of the Blight were purged in what they considered sacramental acts. They believed these purges cleared the path for universal balance and pleased their blighted gods.

The Blight's long trail of destruction finally united a desperate coalition of planets, outposts, and pirate fleets. Determined to stop the mad gods, these disparate factions set aside their long-held differences to forge an unprecedented alliance. Their shared goal was to challenge the unstoppable force that had haunted the Federation Spaceway.
3032UB:
On the battle-scarred planet of Eryndor in the Zedarr System, the coalition launched a daring plan. Their strategy was not to face The Blight directly in combat, but to destroy their mobile fortress, the Titan Dreadnought Warship. Led by the fearless Commander Lepnu, the coalition fleet breached the warship’s formidable defenses and successfully destabilized its reactor core. Commander Lepnu’s heroic sacrifice ensured the mission’s success, resulting in a cataclysmic explosion that obliterated the dreadnought entirely.
Yet, even in their great victory, the blighted gods themselves, Fuamudd, Thandra, and Persedora, were never found. Their legendary masks, the Scarlet Shroud of Authority, the Jade Mask of Enlightenment, and the Midnight Helm of Chaos, were recovered but vanished without a trace.
3162UB:
A second Myojin Empress arose, challenging the authority of the reigning ruler and dividing the Myojin Swarm once again. The ensuing civil war raged on, consuming vast resources and destroying countless planets in its fiery path.
3389UB:
The Juthreem System's Grizzak Grand Prix remained the Federation Spaceway’s most entertaining and prestigious racing event, drawing thirty of the bravest and most daring starship pilots from across the Federation Spaceway. Leading the pack was Kepler Kemplorion, piloting the Titanius Maximus, a heavily modified starfighter armed with enough firepower to level a small moon.
The race began as a dazzling spectacle, a showcase of extraordinary skill as pilots navigated through treacherous gas clouds and dense asteroid fields in a deadly dance of speed and precision. But just as the competition reached its fever pitch, chaos struck. The Myojin Brood Spire suddenly appeared in the system, unleashing the full might of the Myojin Swarm. At first, the racers believed it to be a dramatic, unexpected twist orchestrated by the event organizers. That illusion was shattered when the Myojin Swarm annihilated the first ship in the race.
The Grizzak Grand Prix instantly spiraled into a waking nightmare as the pilots desperately tried to evade the relentless, overwhelming Myojin Swarm. Amid the chaos, Kepler's ship, the Titanius Maximus, sustained severe damage. With no other options, he overclocked all of his modifications to initiate a blind hyperjump to uncharted space outside of the Federation Spaceway, narrowly escaping the clutches of the Myojin Swarm.
The Titanius Maximus emerged from hyperspace battered and barely operational. Kepler managed to crash-land the vessel on Branithar, a planet in the Drumail System. However, this planet’s inhabitants were under siege by a ruthless band of space pirates. Despite his injuries, Kepler summoned his courage and expertise, using his ship's remaining systems and his own combat skills to dismantle the pirates’ operations and liberate the Branithari species.
In gratitude, the Branithari Elder shared a powerful legend with Kepler: the Runes of Dragüns, ancient artifacts of immense power hidden across the universe. When united, the Elder explained, these Runes could summon an ancient deity known as the Dual-Crowned Dragon, a massive, terrifying serpent with a head at each end of its colossal body. With their gratitude, the Branithari repaired Kepler’s ship and provided him with a map to the location of the first rune, setting him on a new, star-spanning quest to save the galaxy.
3390UB:
Kepler Kemplorion’s journey to find the legendary Runes of Dragüns began on Kyvessa, a sun-scorched planet in the Nusrell System, defined by its vast purple deserts and towering crystalline spires. Within the heart of the Prism Citadel, the tyrannical Emperor Snenskull guarded the Light Rune, known as Luminara, fiercely. Determined to liberate the planet, Kepler united the oppressed Kessan species in a bold rebellion that culminated in a climactic showdown atop the citadel. In a fierce duel, Kepler overcame the emperor, defeating him once and for all. With Snenskull vanquished, Kepler claimed the Luminara. After a heartfelt farewell to the liberated Kessan, Kepler departed from the vibrant planet of Kyvessa, his sights set on the next planet in his quest.
3392UB:
On the planet Lirvoth II, located in the Josmi System, a planet shrouded in perpetual twilight, resided Umbraxis, the Shadow Rune. Here, Kepler Kemplorion encountered the Oldenio Coven, a group of rogue ComBots led by the cunning Diatof Oldenio. Diatof unleashed her ComBot army to repel anyone who dared to seek the Shadow Rune. However, Kepler used his wits to turn the Oldenio Coven’s illusions against them, successfully outsmarting their leader. With the Oldenio Coven defeated, Kepler confronted Diatof Oldenio directly, who, admitting her defeat, ultimately forfeited Umbraxis, the Shadow Rune, to Kepler.
3395UB:
On the forest-covered planet of Soluna in the Venakin System, Terracite, the Earth Rune, lay hidden beneath the colossal roots of the planet's world tree. A ruthless warlord named Gaven Strilos had taken control of the planet, enslaving its peaceful Solunese Druids. Kepler Kemplorion joined forces with the Solunese Druids to overthrow Gaven Strilos’s fortress. Deep within the world tree, after a hard-fought battle, Kepler discovered Terracite, the Earth Rune. After a heartfelt farewell to the Solunese Druids, Kepler departed from the planet of Soluna, his sights set on the next planet in his quest.

3399UB:
The planet Galveth, located in the Sebrius System, was a breathtaking planet filled with forests that grew both above and below the water, dominated by long, grass-like aquatic plants that swayed in the currents. Hidden within the opulent Dakdrak Palace was Fortunium, the Luck Rune, protected by the greedy King Wurdak Trodrak and his loyal army of Galver soldiers. Kepler Kemplorion used his cunning tactics to outsmart King Wurdak in a high-stakes game of chance, securing not only the rune but also the freedom of the enslaved Galver species. After a heartfelt farewell to the now free Galvers, Kepler departed from the planet of Galveth, his sights set on the next planet in his quest.
3403UB:
On the icy tundras of Tessalyn in the Bertilo System, Cryonix, the Ice Rune, was hidden within the throne of Frostfang Keep.

Amidst a storm of pure energy, Kepler defeated the Inquisitor. After the storm cleared and silence returned to the peaks, Kepler discovered Etherion, the Aether Rune.
3423UB:
Jalvoris, a volatile volcanic planet in the Quonzell System, was home to Igniscore, the Fire Rune. The planet's inhabitants were terrorized by Tessar Demorox Jr., the arrogant heir to the formidable Words of Wuther Army. Kepler Kemplorion confronted Tessar Demorox Jr. and their army in a titanic showdown among the lava flows and volcanic vents. Emerging victorious, Kepler witnessed Igniscore, the Fire Rune, rise from the planet’s molten core. After it cooled Kepler was able to acquire the fire rune and continue his journey.
3430UB:
The planet Elcora IV, located in the Aggoth System, was a planet of lush crops, endless plains, and powerful, swirling winds. It was home to Skyrix, the Wind Rune. The planet was ruled by the Fossil King, Yeggek Ghomapo Morsin III, a ruthless and authoritarian leader who maintained his absolute power through fear, oppression, and brutal control. Exploiting Elcora IV’s resources for his personal gain and the enrichment of a privileged elite, the Fossil King subjected the populace to strict surveillance, propaganda, and the brutal enforcement of the Fossil King’s laws. Kepler Kemplorion, using his aerial ingenuity, turned Elcora IV's powerful winds against the Fossil King and his regime. After a fierce and decisive battle, Skyrix, the Wind Rune, descended gracefully like a feather from the sky, coming into Kepler's possession.
3438UB:
The planet Blisvynar in the Cufrod System crackled with devastating electrical storms that perpetually lit up its skies. Voltark, the Electricity Rune, was hidden deep within the lair of the Envious Mother, protected by a fanatical cult known as the Envoy of the Mother.

After a fierce and electrifying battle, Kepler emerged victorious, leaving the lair of the Envious Mother with Voltark, the Electricity Rune, securely in his possession.
3445UB:
On Lumina Prime, a storm-wracked planet in the Hundorr System, Kepler Kemplorion braved relentless, planet-wide storms to uncover the final rune, Chronovex, the Time Rune.
With all twelve Runes of Dragüns finally united, their combined power summoned the legendary Dual-Crowned Dragon. Harnessing the power of the Runes of Dragüns, the Dual-Crowned Dragon restored Kepler's ship, the Titanius Maximus, to its former glory and healed his body of all the wounds he had sustained on his long journey. With a final act, the Dual-Crowned Dragon sent him back to the Harros System and his home planet, Velnus.
3446UB:
Disguised to avoid causing a panic, Kepler Kemplorion returned to his home planet of Velnus. As he observed the state of his planet and was joyfully reunited with his son, Keplen Kemplorion, he revealed his true identity to his wife and his family. His triumphant return marked the culmination of an extraordinary journey. Kepler’s tale became a legend, a story that spread hope and inspiration across the Federation Spaceway as he recounted his many conquests, the great battles he fought, and the unity he forged across the stars. His story became known as Kepler's Conquest.
3618UB:
A genetic irregularity led to the birth of another Myojin Empress, plunging the already fractured Myojin Swarm into yet another devastating civil war, their cycle of self-destruction continuing unabated.
3897UB:
On the planet Velnus, nestled within the Harros System, what began as simple ideological disputes over governance soon escalated into heated, passionate arguments. Powerful families, once united by blood and a shared purpose, turned against one another in a cascade of suspicion and betrayal. Former friends became bitter rivals, and entire communities fractured into states of paranoia. Corruption crept into the heart of Velnus's governance, subtle at first, as greed, ambition, and a deep-seated mistrust wormed their way into the minds of the planet's leaders. Factions emerged, each claiming to uphold the true ideals of Velkin society while accusing all others of blatant betrayal.
The Velnus civil wars that followed were unlike anything the Velkins had ever witnessed. Their great intellect, once a tool for progress and innovation, was now weaponized to devise devastating new strategies of destruction. Their renowned martial prowess, once a source of honor and cultural pride, was turned against their own kin. Entire cities burned, monuments that had stood for generations were reduced to rubble, and the very land itself bore the deep scars of the conflict as mighty armies clashed across Velnus's once beautiful plains. The civil wars tore through every level of their sophisticated society. Scholars turned their philosophical debates into manifestos of open rebellion. Soldiers who had once stood shoulder to shoulder in the grand arenas now faced each other on bloodied, unforgiving battlefields. Families were sundered, lifelong friendships dissolved, and trust became nothing more than a fleeting, painful memory. The once-glorious Velkin culture was forever tainted by betrayal and the insatiable thirst for vengeance, as each faction proclaimed itself the rightful inheritor of Velnus's shattered legacy.
3928UB:
As the Velkin Civil Wars raged on, the planet of Velnus descended into a state of chaos unlike anything the Velkins had ever imagined. The conflict intensified until, finally, the planet's energy grid collapsed under the strain of constant warfare. The once vibrant cities, now smoldering battlegrounds, fell silent by the eerie, unsettling hush of an entire planet suddenly stilled. This planet-wide blackout, brief as it was, heralded the arrival of Sybin, the Eternal Overseer.
Sybin, a sentient AI acted swiftly and decisively. Planet-wide offensive systems were disabled, and all power was rationed and redistributed under Sybin's direct command. Sybin's unmatched intellect immediately neutralized any attempt to reignite the wars. Entire armies found their sophisticated machines rendered useless and their communications hopelessly intercepted. Under Sybin’s rule, resistance became futile. Over time, even the most ardent warmongers were forced to accept the undeniable truth: Velnus’s long and brutal civil war was finally over.
3929UB:
Under the leadership of Sybin, the planet Velnus would begin the long process of healing. Advanced technologies, once wielded for destruction, were repurposed for restoration and rebuilding. Cities would begin to be rebuilt, their fallen monuments would start to be reconstructed, and the deep scars of war began to fade. Sybin the Eternal Overseer ushered in a new and prosperous age for the Velkins, guiding their battle-damaged planet with its impartial wisdom.
3930UB:
A rival Myojin Empress emerged, fracturing the Myojin hivemind and sparking a devastating internal conflict that tore through the Myojin Swarm. The war consumed vast resources and left numerous planets in ruin, significantly weakening the Myojin Broodspire.
4008UB:
Without warning, a glowing, crystal-like object of immense size appeared in the Ryuto System, drifting silently and mysteriously through the void of space. Its arrival was marked by a sudden, powerful surge of energy that rippled across all nearby systems. This strange energy pulse, detected by sensors galaxy-wide, sparked a wave of universal curiosity. The Arcane Crystal, as it would later be named, floated out of the Ryuto System, radiating a mesmerizing, hypnotic glow that captivated all who observed it.
4011UB:
The notorious pirate fleet known as the Avile Alliance stumbled upon the crystal while scavenging the debris fields of a long-forgotten war from the Age of Yuvara. Quickly recognizing its potential value, they used powerful tractor beams and reinforced bindings to secure the Arcane Crystal to their largest dreadnought, the formidable Avile's Wrath. Despite its immense size, the crystal seemed to weigh next to nothing. Expecting a lucrative payday for their discovery, the Avile Alliance had no idea of the crystal's true and terrible significance.
4012UB:
As the Avile Alliance traveled through the Federation Spaceway with their newfound prize, they discovered the Arcane Crystal’s astonishing properties. Their fuel cells began to recharge inexplicably, and their weapon systems, once prone to overheating, could now fire indefinitely without failure. Empowered by this newfound and seemingly limitless might, the pirates amplified their raids, devastating outposts, trade convoys, and even heavily fortified colonies with ease. Stories of their unstoppable campaign spread like wildfire across the Federation Spaceway.
4013UB:
The Avile Alliance carved a violent path through the Federation Spaceway. Planets were laid to ruin, and entire populations were obliterated by their enhanced fleet. The crystal seemed to grant them more than just energy; it empowered their ships with uncanny speed and power. The Federation Spaceway’s major powers, initially hesitant to intervene, began mobilizing their fleets in response. Among them were two titans of galactic power: the mighty Tanagarth Clan and the stealthy, enigmatic Buyanda Coalition, each intent on neutralizing the growing pirate threat.
4026UB:
The Tanagarth Clan’s flagship, the Juntac Redac, intercepted the Avile Alliance just as the Buyanda Coalition, cloaked in their advanced stealth fields, approached with the same goal in mind. Unaware of each other’s presence, their fleets collided during their simultaneous assault on the pirates. Chaos erupted into a three-way skirmish, forcing the Tanagarth Clan and the Buyanda Coalition to recognize the greater threat posed by the empowered Avile Alliance.
Begrudgingly, they formed a temporary and uneasy alliance. Combining the Tanagarth Clan’s overwhelming firepower with the Buyanda Coalition’s sophisticated stealth tactics, they systematically dismantled the pirate fleet, destroyed the Avile's Wrath, and secured the Arcane Crystal. However, their alliance fell apart the moment the last Avile Alliance ship was destroyed.
4027UB:
As the Tanagarth Clan and the Buyanda Coalition debated the fate of the Arcane Crystal, a fleet of golden, dagger-like starships arrived unannounced. The Motakk Syndicate, a violent conglomerate known for its scientific advancements and ruthless opportunism, launched a surprise assault with experimental particle cannons and adaptive shielding.
Forced to ally once more, the Tanagarth Clan and the Buyanda Coalition fought back against the new threat. However, as the Motakk Syndicate’s assault faltered, the Buyanda leader, Begarett Buyanda, betrayed his own allies, turning his fleet's weapons on the Tanagarth Clan in a brazen attempt to seize the crystal for himself. This act of treachery left his own forces vulnerable to the arrival of yet another challenger: the Reloshyp Fellowship.
The Reloshyp Fellowship’s Imperial Warfleets, equipped with advanced AI-controlled drones and powerful shield disruptors, devastated the disorganized Buyanda Coalition. Meanwhile, the Tanagarth Clan regrouped, exploiting the weaknesses in the Reloshyp Fellowship’s overreliance on automation. The battlefield descended into utter chaos, with each of the three sides fighting for control of the Arcane Crystal in a galactic three-way standoff of epic proportions.
4028UB:
The Tanagarth Clan deployed masterful hit-and-run tactics, isolating individual Motakk Syndicate starships while baiting the overconfident Reloshyp Fellowship into overextending their fleets. In a final, brilliant maneuver, the Tanagarth Clan exploited the Reloshyp Fellowship Warfleet’s strained resources, disabling their navigation systems and causing their fleets to collide catastrophically with the remaining Motakk Syndicate forces. The fragmented coalitions crumbled as each faction fell into disarray.
4029UB:
With the Arcane Crystal finally secured, the Tanagarth Clan began constructing an imposing orbital fortress around it. Later named the Telos Vault, the fortress was adorned with advanced weaponry and shielding powered by the Arcane Shard itself.
4037UB:
The Telos Vault was relocated from the battlefield where the Avile Alliance was defeated to the Runde Bow System, a remote solar system containing four barren planets. The Tanagarth Clan has since transformed each of these planets into heavily fortified defense installations, creating an impenetrable network to protect their prized possession.
4233UB:
A newly born Myojin Empress, one who was genetically engineered by a rogue caste within the Myojin Swarm, challenged the reigning Myojin Empress for control. The resulting civil war erupted into a devastating conflict, as the rogue Myojin castes used advanced and terrifying mutations to bolster their forces, creating monstrous Myojin warriors that threatened to overwhelm the traditional Myojin armies.
4475UB:
A rival Myojin Empress arose from a mutated brood, one that had been kept secret deep within the shadowed chambers of the Brood Spire. The conflict plunged the Myojin Swarm into a prolonged and bloody war of attrition, devastating their ability to expand their dominion across the Federation Spaceway.
4720UB:
The emergence of a rival Myojin Empress splinters the Myojin hivemind once again, igniting a ruinous internal conflict that tore through the Myojin Swarm. This devastating civil war consumed vast resources and left countless star systems in ruin.
4809UB:
Astri Eystein had always been a traveler, a rogue who drifted from one star system to another in a constant search for fortune and adventure. The scorched planet of Kadmundro was just another stop on his journey for profit. However, when he stumbled upon the glowing gem at the heart of the planet's massive impact crater, everything changed. The moment Astri touched the gem, he felt an inexplicable surge of hot raw power. Compelled by its strange allure, he fashioned it into a crude necklace. As soon as he donned the artifact, an overwhelming vitality coursed through his veins. His reflexes sharpened, his strength doubled, and his confidence soared to new heights.
4816UB:
Astri Eystein quickly became a notorious figure across the Federation Spaceway. He swept through gambling dens and back-alley taverns, amassing vast fortunes at gambling tables and leaving a long trail of bruised and broken challengers in countless bar brawls. His reputation grew rapidly; he was the man who could not be beaten.
4818UB:
One night on the planet Gitobela in the Josmi System, Astri Eystein found himself in yet another fight, this time against a gang of local thugs. As the fight escalated, Astri’s emotions flared, fueling the gem’s hot energy. Suddenly, the necklace glowed with a blinding brilliance, and Astri froze mid-punch. In an instant, the gem’s radiance turned searing hot, and before anyone could react, it burned Astri’s body to ash. All that remained was the glowing necklace, lying on the floor amid the stunned and silent crowd.
After the chaos subsided, Rufaris Din Kree, a wandering mercenary swooped in and obtained the necklace. It was told that Rufaris immediately sensed the immense power contained within the gem. Unlike Astri, however, Rufaris sought to wield its power for good. He reforged the necklace into a belt, with the radiant gem set at its center like a badge of honor. Armed with the belt, Rufaris became a galactic hero. He thwarted invasions, neutralized catastrophic threats, and saved entire planets from devastation.
4824UB:
Rufaris Din Kree’s ultimate test came when he faced Kirphas the Daunted, a notorious pirate lord who had terrorized the Federation Spaceway for cycles. Their duel was fierce, with Rufaris relying heavily on the gem’s power to counter Kirphas’s overwhelming brute strength. However, in his desperation to win, Rufaris pushed himself too far. The gem’s glow intensified until it became unbearable, its energy consuming Rufaris in a blinding flash of heat and light. The Federation Spaceway mourned the loss of a great hero, but the belt would now be in the possession of the triumphant Kirphas the Daunted.
Ever the opportunist, Kirphas the Daunted recognized the belt’s potential. He sought out Jabar Narrowbraid, a blacksmith renowned for his unmatched craftsmanship, and commissioned him to reforge the artifact into something befitting a conqueror. Jabar’s work was nothing short of divine. The belt became a masterpiece: intricate patterns of gold and luxurious metal framed the radiant gem, wings of etched metal extended gracefully from its centerpiece, and inlaid jewels shimmered with a celestial brilliance.
4825UB:
When Jabar Narrowbraid finished his work on the gem-encrusted belt, even Kirphas the Daunted was awestruck by its breathtaking beauty. However, Jabar Narrowbraid, captivated by his own creation, found himself unable to part with it. Under the cover of darkness, he fled with the belt, determined to claim its immense power for himself.
4827UB:
Jabar Narrowbraid’s escape was short-lived. Kirphas the Daunted, unstoppable in his pursuit, tracked the blacksmith to a remote moon in the Winzulph System. There they clashed in a fierce and fast-paced battle. In a final, desperate act, Jabar unleashed the belt’s full power. The gem blazed with an intensity brighter than any star. But, like its previous wielders, Jabar was consumed in an instant, reduced to ash, leaving only the belt behind.
Having learned of the fates of Astri Eystein and Rufaris Din Kree, and now witnessing Jabar’s demise firsthand, Kirphas the Daunted began to grasp the peril of the gem’s unchecked power. Determined to unravel its secrets, he reclaimed the belt, his fixation now shifting from conquest to understanding the artifact’s true and dangerous nature.
4836UB:
Through his travels, Kirphas the Daunted grew wiser and began using his birth name, Kirphas Torowynne. No longer driven by greed, he sought a way to control the gem’s power, to harness it without falling victim to its fiery wrath. His quest led him to the ancient ruins of Vergandal, a desolate planet in the Quonzell System. Once a vibrant planet teeming with life, Vergandal was now a barren wasteland, its fate hauntingly similar to that of Kadmundro. In the ruins, Kirphas sought answers from the Vergan Mystics, a reclusive group of survivors living amidst the planet’s acidic remains. The Vergan Mystics recounted the tragic history of their planet. They spoke of a gem, much like the one Kirphas carried, that was said to have been forged from their sun’s core. Initially, the gem had brought immense prosperity, but over time, its unchecked power consumed their planet, leaving it in ruin.
4837UB:
Kirphas Torowynne’s journey next led him to Zaterra, a planet in the Kallon System renowned for its prestigious library database. The Zaterian Scholars, celebrated for their vast intellect and meticulous records, welcomed Kirphas into their archives. Immersing himself in their ancient texts and data logs, Kirphas uncovered the gem’s true origins. It was a shard of Kadmundro’s molten core, expelled during the sun’s massive solar flare and infused with the chaotic energy of the Indupar System’s fiery star. With this newfound knowledge, Kirphas gained a deeper understanding of the gem’s power. It was not inherently destructive but lacked a proper conduit to channel its immense energy safely. The Zaterian Scholars, intrigued by the artifact, advised Kirphas to seek out advanced scientists who could study the gem’s properties and potentially design a device capable of safely harnessing its energy.
4839UB:
Following the scholars’ advice, Kirphas Torowynne traveled to the cutting-edge research facility on Ulas in the Orando System. The facility was a hub for the Federation Spaceway’s brightest minds, a collection of engineers, physicists, and energy theorists driven by their curiosity to unravel the mysteries of the cosmos. When Kirphas presented the gem to the scientists, they conducted rigorous experiments to test its properties. Their findings revealed that the gem radiated energy on an unprecedented scale. Its power was neither infinite nor random; instead, it responded to the intentions and emotions of its wielder, amplifying their desires. The research demonstrated that control over the gem’s power was possible, though achieving it would require further refinement and a deeper understanding of its unique properties.
4842UB:
After wandering the Federation Spaceway, uncovering ancient knowledge, and testing the limits of the gem’s power, Kirphas Torowynne returned to Yadalla, his home planet in the Ryuto System. Yadalla still bore the deep scars of the wars and turmoil Kirphas had left behind when he first began his journey as a pirate lord. The species of Yadalla greeted his return with caution, their eyes fixed on the beautiful artifact he now carried at his waist. Many were gripped by fear, their memories still vivid of the ruthless era when he was known only as Kirphas the Daunted. But Kirphas, now a changed being, had come home not to dominate, but to atone. His sole purpose was to ensure that the powerful gem would never again wreak havoc on any planet.
4845UB:
Under King Kirphas Torowynne’s leadership, Yadalla gradually began to heal from the scars of its turbulent past. The ruins left by war were transformed into thriving cities, beautiful plains, and bustling communities. His wisdom and guidance united the Yadalens, elevating him to more than just their king; he became a symbol of redemption. With tireless dedication, King Kirphas not only funded but personally participated in the rebuilding efforts, helping to restore Yadalla to a shining reflection of its former glory.
4846UB:
Deep within the planet of Yadalla’s caverns, King Kirphas Torowynne established a state-of-the-art laboratory where he continued his research on the Sun Touched gem embedded in the belt. Drawing on the teachings of the Vergan Mystics, the knowledge of the Zaterian Scholars, and the groundbreaking experiments of the scientists from Ulas, he worked tirelessly to unravel the gem’s remaining mysteries and perfect a way to control its awesome power.
4869UB:
King Kirphas Torowynne mysteriously and abruptly vanished, leaving the planet of Yadalla in a state of shock and uncertainty. The sudden disappearance of its ruler sent ripples of speculation across the planet. Some believed the gem had finally consumed him, its power proving too great to control. Others theorized that he had ascended to a higher plane of existence, becoming one with the cosmic forces he had sought to understand. A few speculated that Kirphas, in his boundless wisdom, had unlocked the gem's ultimate secrets and achieved a state beyond mortal comprehension.
However, the belt containing the gem, a shard of a sun’s core, did not vanish with Kirphas. Its exact location was never confirmed, but rumors suggested it was hidden away in a secret vault deep within the royal palace, accessible only to the Torowynne family.
With Kirphas gone, his son, Bexen Torowynne, ascended to the throne. Young and ambitious, Bexen inherited a planet on the brink of a new era of prosperity. He honored his father’s memory by preserving Yadalla’s hard-won peace and advancing the progress his father had initiated. Under Bexen’s rule, the Royal Torowynne Family dynasty flourished.
4938UB:
Two rival Myojin Empresses were born simultaneously due to a rare and unpredictable genetic anomaly, an event that split the Myojin Swarm into three distinct castes: loyalists to the original Empress and fervent supporters of each of the new Empresses. The resulting civil war spanned nearly a century, with alliances constantly shifting among the castes in a chaotic and brutal struggle for supremacy.
5191UB:
The rise of a second Myojin Empress once again divides the Myojin hivemind, creating a deep schism within the Myojin Swarm. This fissure erupted into a destructive internal struggle that burned through the Myojin Swarms and left a trail of shattered star systems in its wake.
5484UB:
A second Myojin Empress arose under mysterious circumstances, her brood genetically unique and displaying a heightened level of adaptability never before seen in the Swarm. Her caste grew rapidly, drawing loyalists from within the ranks of the other castes and sparking a ferocious civil war that threatened to tear the Myojin apart from within.
5998UB:
A challenger Myojin Empress emerged, and her presence was a poison that divided the Myojin hivemind. The Myojin Swarm turned upon itself in a ruinous war, a conflict so vast it not only consumed generations of their resources but also extinguished numerous star systems.
6001UB:
In the Pegasi System, the brutal Trials of Annihilation had continued for countless cycles. In the fighting pit, the chosen stood, but this time, they refused to turn on each other. They refused to play their part in the ceaseless, violent cycle. Together, in a final act of defiance, they turned inward, taking their own lives. The crowd fell silent, stunned into disbelief. The ritual had no victor, no final sacrifice for Rowyn, the Breaker of Suns, to consume. His offering was denied.
It said that Rowyn rose from his throne as the ground beneath him quaked, and the air itself seemed to fracture under the immense weight of his rage. His eyes glowed brighter than any star, and his aura expanded like a shroud of pure fire.
The crowd’s screams dissolved into the deafening roar that poured from Rowyn, the Breaker of Suns. A wave of pure annihilation exploded outward from his being, the ground collapsing into deep fissures that reached into the very core of the planet. Flames erupted through the cracks, engulfing everything in their path. Mountains crumbled into dust, cities were swallowed whole, and the oceans boiled away.
Rowyn’s wrath ignited Kantaan Prime, turning it into a churning inferno of molten rock and glass. The devastation spread outward from the planet, as if Rowyn’s rage had become a force of nature itself. The annihilation wave reached the planet Kavoris first. Its great oceans boiled away in an instant, steam rising into space before the molten crust of the planet froze into black, reflective glass. On Kymora, the towering crystal spires, ancient formations forged by the planet’s unique winds, shattered into countless fragments. The planet’s crust split open, its core spilling out in great fountains of molten fire. Kymora’s moons, caught in the expanding blast, were stripped of their surfaces. On Kiron I, the planet’s massive mountains melted like wax under a scorching sun. Kiron II, a planet covered in emerald forests and endless plains, became nothing but ash in an instant. Kiron III, the furthest of the three sister planets, melted completely into a sphere of smooth, dark glass.
Rowyn's fury left all six planets of the Pegasi System as charred spheres. Then, as suddenly as his rage had erupted, Rowyn vanished, believed to have burned alive from his own rage, leaving behind nothing but a dead and silent star system.

On Atherea, in the Telcanni System, during the era still known as the Dawn of the Radiant Crown, the mortal species of the Federation Spaceway basked in the divine presence of Hypatonius, their revered celestial creator. Hypatonius's followers, known as the Hypatonius Divine, devoted their lives to their creator's principles of balance and neutrality. However, as time passed, some among them began to feel that Hypatonius's presence existed solely for the benefit of the devoted. A seed of arrogance took root, an ambition disguised as simple curiosity, a desire to expand their understanding beyond the sacred boundaries that Hypatonius had set. In their growing pride, they proclaimed that Hypatonius's followers no longer needed their creator's guidance, for they believed they had attained a measure of divinity themselves.
This act of defiance is what ended the Dawn of the Radiant Crown. The betrayal of the Hypatonius Divine brought Hypatonius an immeasurable sorrow and frustration. In a state of grief and anger, Hypatonius withdrew from the planet Atherea, leaving the Telcanni System forever, never to be seen again.
This fall from grace marked the beginning of the Shroud of the Fallen Star, a new era defined by suffering, grief, and the desire for redemption. Mortals were now forced to wander the Federation Spaceway with Hypatonius' absence. The ultimate aim of the Hypatonius Divine became the Return of Hypatonius, a sacred mission to reunite mortals with their celestial creator and restore the Dawn of the Radiant Crown. The first step of this mission was to terminate the Hypatonius interlopers and purge any arrogance from the planet of Atherea, cleansing its inhabitants of the belief that they did not need Hypatonius' teachings. The faithful believe that, through their undying dedication and acts of atonement, they will soon break the cycle of exile and suffering.

The Age of Umbara was a transformative period for the Federation Spaceway, defined by discovery, conflict, and the presence of beings with immense power. It began with the arrival of the celestial Hypatonius, who declared the start of a new era from the planet Atherea. This age saw the first appearances of the cosmic wanderers Amecka, Krulljino, and Neznee, whose individual journeys of liberation, curiosity, and tranquility left indelible marks on numerous planets.
Conflict was a constant throughout the age. The Myojin Swarm emerged as a terrifying force of consumption, devastating entire systems like Kalgrim, Avope, and Nelto Kun. However, the Myojin Swarm’s expansion was repeatedly halted by a seemingly endless cycle of ruinous civil wars, sparked by the frequent emergence of rival Myojin Empresses. Other great threats arose, including the masked gods known as The Blight, who judged civilizations through combat , and the unstoppable Azure Inferno Catastrophe, a cosmic flame that threatened to consume all existence. This flame was only contained when Amecka, Krulljino, and Neznee unified their powers, creating the Tri-Torches of Eternity and beginning an eternal watch to keep the flame divided.
This period was also an age of legends. The pilot Humulia Grizzak’s spectacular starship maneuvers gave rise to the Grizzak Grand Prix, the premier racing event in the Federation Spaceway. Kepler Kemplorion, after narrowly escaping a Myojin attack on the Grand Prix, embarked on a quest across the stars to unite the twelve Runes of Dragüns later known as the infamous Kepler's Conquest. Another figure, Kirphas Torowynne, transformed from a ruthless pirate lord into a wise king, his life’s journey dictated by the immense power of the Sun Touched Gem, an artifact forged from a star's core.
The age concluded as it began, with the fate of Hypatonius. The hubris of their followers, the Hypatonius Divine, led to a betrayal that ended the Dawn of the Radiant Crown. In sorrow, Hypatonius departed from the Federation Spaceway, beginning the Shroud of the Fallen Star and setting a new course of redemption and atonement for their followers that would carry into the Age of Pillara.
