The Archon have had....an incident on Epkot.
I WAS NOT HERE TO CONQUER AND PILLAGE!Unrazi: We're peaceful explorers!
Other civ: We are here to conquer and pillage.
Umrazi: Well, that's not good. *slowly brings out guns* How can we focus on exploration if there are enemies abound?
My god. That'll leave some scars.A bioweapon gone horribly wrong. STG-11 Fleet Division 3 almost got wiped out when an Anvil transport got infected with these monsters. What followed next was a fierce corridor fight inside of the Phoenix and the Excelsior to clear them of the bioweapon, then a four-hour running battle into the depths of Laboratory Zero to recover the antigen and the deactivator, then yet another hour-long battle up into the atmosphere before the Phoenix unleashed the deactivator. And when that didn't work, Samantha was forced to nuke the planet because they just would not die.

The sounds dreadful. The [Friendship] between Heaven and Earth would never use self-reproducing bioweapons that are capable of speedy self-modification to overcome obstacles, nor would they infiltrate such a bioweapon onto another civilization's spaceship to bypass their traditional defenses.
So, Cerberus?Worst part of all of this was that it was Asgardian in origin.
STG-W00. A Special Tasks Group so secretive that even I01 didn't have a file on them. They were created as a section given 'free reign' over what they could experiment on. While a select few of their discoveries would be later used by the rest of the Kingdom, their experiments, and their legacy, are akin to Doctor Josef Mengele's experiments on Death Camp inmates during World War II.
Jesus, are they still in exile?And they eventually succeed in the future, exiling Alphonse and Hanna (who were directors of I01 at this point) when they got too close to the truth, and militarized the Kingdom further, pulling it into a dictatorship with the leader of STG-W00 as the commander-in-chief of the Asgardian Naval Service. Because Alphonse managed to tell Samantha the truth, she managed to convince the entirety of STG-11 to break off, escaping into the depths of the Ulmaric Sector. This would lead to a final confrontation some ten years later, culminating in the Second Great Interstellar War.
Meanwhile, my creature have to deal with mysterious sections of the galaxy that kill any space faring beings that venture into them.The worst thing that ever happened to the Archon was the SU-588 incident.
