The Kronn Bureaucratic Empire:
Throneworld: Krodia Prime
Government: Infinite bureaucracy
Language: New Krodarak
The Kronn, originating on the temperate, ocean world of Krodia Prime, wrote down the first records of their race in Paleo-Krodarak roughly 4,150,000 -AI. The Kronn slowly developed a global bureaucratic hegemony over all Kronn, advancing steadily in technology and exploring all corners of their world. Around three and a half million years before the Interplanetary Empire, Kronn explorers analyzing Krodia Prime's two moons discovered one was hollow and had the ruins of a massive, alien laboratory in it. This shocked the Kronn heads of state and the general populace, as they believed themselves the first sentient species in the known universe. Remnants of ancient technology was found in the ruins, which appeared to the Kronn to look like an observatory, which the Kronn utilized, learning from the artifacts the secrets of subspace, universal mechanics, and the energies that pervaded this dimension and others. At this time the Kronn began to understand more and unlock the latent psychic powers in all the members of their species. The Kronn dubbed the unknown, possibly extinct, aliens that had come before them the Old Ones, or Dra-Tsath in Krodarak. The Kronn spread from their world and colonized their local system around 3,010,000 -AI, and the next one, and all adjacent star systems to theirs. They discovered several primitive species, and, like the Dra-Tsath, built hidden observatories and laboratories to watch these primitive, unsophisticated species develop; never did the Kronn interfere with their natural growth or make themselves known to them, as was commanded by the Kronn bureaucracy. The Kronn thought themselves alone as the sole rulers of a primitive galaxy, which they could rule or shape according to their will, that changed when an alien mothership wandered across the Kronn border. The species on the ship called themselves the Prothen, or Arunar, and the ship was carrying colonists by order of the Prothen emperor. The first of the many wars between the Progenitors followed, with the Kronn unwilling to except that other advanced races existed and also to let the colonist ship pass through Kronn space. The war would have gone on longer, and more star systems ravaged, had not emissaries from the growing Vorian Republic not negotiated peace between the Kronn and Prothen. Again the Kronn were shocked at the emergence of another advanced race; the mammalian Vors of Vorpiter, a striking world of great beauty. Around this time the Infinite Bureaucracy was established in the Kronn's empire, with no head or president, just a giant loop of bureaucratic positions, each answering to other levels of the loop, called cosmocrats. Peace lasted between the Prothens' and Kronns' empires and the socialist Republic. It was also in this era that the Kronn began to make themselves known to the various races unknowingly inhabiting their empire, and began to experiment, study, and deport many of them. The so-called primitive "children species" of the three great powers were treated differently; the Kronn, eugenicists and elitists, enslaved or destroyed many species deemed "unworthy", also the Kronn became very proficient at genetic engineering, altering or experimenting on many species, such as the enslaved Athaneans, or the eventually wiped out Iau. The Kronn, unlike the Vors or even the Prothen, did not allow their children species to become citizens of the Empire, unless they favored their race over others, as in the case of the Xala and Thussaserons, who happened to hold the favor of their Kronn overlords. Galactic wars resumed when the fourth great race, the arthropod Telophs of irradiated Tel'Aga V, who had formed a corporate empire across a great swath of space. The Vors helped form a peace between the four species after countless wars, and the Kronn proposed creating a Galactic Tetrarchy of the four great powers to cease the constant and devastating wars, with the seat of the tetrarchy at Krodia Prime. As peace reigned the Kronn, the greatest of the four in size and power, advanced more in science, becoming masters at genetic engineering and warpspace technology, as well as psionics, which was Kronn's greatest strength; they mastered many arcane abilities such as spacewalking and universal precognition. They tried continually to create life, instead of merely tampering with primitive species. They succeeded, around 2,316,000 -AI, creating a beneficial microorganism. Many trillions inhabitants of the Tetrarchy had colonies of the organisms implanted in their spinal cords, giving many beneficial effects to the hosts. Then something changed in the organisms; a fluke in their hive mind consciousness. Trillions of the galactic fringe colonists, who had received the microscopic implants first to aid them in their more rugged lives, were killed by the organisms then reanimated as un-breathing, dead, merciless monsters. The Kronn failed to hold back the infection in large part due to the numerous rebellions of their children species, especially the more primitive ones like Maanasa, Athaneans, and Enukians, who comprised a vast portion of the Kronn armed forces. The rebellions distracted Kronn resources and military forces from fighting the infection. The infection spread throughout the galaxy, the Kronn tried desperately to fix their mistake; first they created a sentient, artificially intelligent race called the Cyth from Dra-Tsath technology, to combat the Telophs and to wipe out the infection; then by performing a successful Cybresis on the next generation of Prothen younglings making them near-immune to the infection and able to combat the malfunctioning Cyth; then finally by building monoliths on worlds across the galaxy that channeled a frequency that pacified the infection, but it was to late and Krodia Prime, after centuries of war, was destroyed by the infection. The Kronn Bureaucratic Empire was no more and a Kronn was not seen again, only the devastated ruins of their civilization remained. The Millennia Stillness followed this so called Dark Epoch of war.
Teloph Trade Combine:
Capital: Tel'Aga V
Government: Corporatocracy
Language: Teloph
The arthropodal, four-armed, Telophs hailed from the barren, irradiated world of Tel'Aga V, located in the beta quadrant of the galaxy. Life for the early Telophs was hard and life-expectansy was short; the gigantic sun of their homeworld pounded the surface of the world with radiation, killing most Telophs and native fauna and flora quickly and at a young stage, and the sparse amount of resources made life primitive and harsh. Teloph culture was based around death and one's immanent death, little times was wasted building monuments or vast cities, but instead to catacombs and tombs. Resources were always scarce on their harsh world; guilds quickly formed to manage and claim resources, often becoming more powerful than local rulers or allied councils. The guilds, around the same time the Kronn were landing on their moons, formed into global corporations and mega-corps, ruling cities, nations, and entire continents. The Teloph corporations began colonizing star systems when the Kronn had already established a sizable interstellar empire, but unlike the Kronn who were unified throughout their entire history, the Teloph mega-comoanies and corporations fought with each other continually for planets, resources, and energy. It was their first contact and war with the Kronn and Prothen empires where the Teloph powers signed the Treaty of Tel'Aga IX, uniting the corporations into the Teloph Trade Combine, which was in charge of the defense and foreign relations of the corporations, but they still retained inner autonomy. The Combine attacked the Kronn and Prothen so viscously due to the lust for more resources and also jealously at the two species who hailed from stable, lush worlds and who were not weaned on the eternal presence of a cancerous death. When the wars ended and the Galactic Tetrarchy period began, the Telophs always resisted Kronn supremacy, often opposing them in the Tetrarchal Council on Krodia Prime. The Telophs, similar to the Kronn, did not treat their children species as citizens of their federation, instead using them as laborers, soldiers, slaves, and experiments; stripping resources from their worlds and carrying away their population to work on foreign worlds. Unlike the Kronn who mastered genetic engineering and rarely made a mistake, the Telophs toyed with dozens of species, their brutal, un-elegant methods often ending in disaster; such as the Yurgh Rebellion, where billions of mutated Yurgh rebelled all across the Combine, resulting in their extinction at Teloph and Tetrarchal Peacekeeper hands. When the Kronn created life in the form of the microorganism, Telophs, like the rest of the galaxy, filed into lines at Kronn laboratories and hospitals, receiving the spinal injection. When the Dark Epoch began with the infection, the Telophs lost all of their children species, except for the Hrullgi who clung desperately onto life for another thousand or more years. The Telophs, furious at the Kronn, withdrew officially from the Tetrarchy, closing their borders to everyone as they fought ineffectually against the infection. The Combine fleet then began attacking the disintegrating Kronn border, causing hundreds of thousands of casualties as the Kronn had to fight both the Combine fleet and infection. Kronn scientists then created the Cyth, a robotic race designed for one thing: genocide. Cyth fleets poured across the galaxy, combating the infection and, as ordered by the Kronn Bureaucracy, the Trade Combine. Teloph armies and fleets were swatted aside by the unstoppable robotic force, destroying all of Teloph space; not even ruins were left. What was left of the Teloph race had their last stand on Tel'Aga XXI; the Cyth came from the sky, slaughtering and destroying all defenses while the infection attacked from behind the Teloph line. Most, if not all traces of the Teloph race disappeared with them; and thousands of years later, the Hrullgi were wiped out by the Prothen in war, removing the last legacy of the Telophs.
