Tales from the Broken Void
"Once upon a time in the Milky Way Galaxy..wait this isn't Space Fantasy, stop this madness and folly and start the Real Opening."- AI Historian Gaius of the Fordbrook Freehold, 2850.
-----------------------
When Mankind reached out to touch the stars all those centuries ago, we didn't expect to really get very far, maybe get to Alpha Centauri and build up SOL, but not much. Things were far simpler then.
First Came the Age of SOL (Approximate Dates 2070 to 2270), when Man first struggled into the Heavens with ambition and wonder, unaware of the vast dangers and potential of their influence in the heavens, the Skies of Earth became dotted with Colonies, with Shipyards and Fleets coming and going.
We had most of SOL by the end of the century, with billions of lives slowly being born living and dying.
And then we found the Kardashev Drive and FTL, was finally in our grasp. Shame that we didn't get a warning for all the shit we'd actually have to deal with.
The Age of Transit (2270-2431) was the Shortest age of Man in terms of its length, as it was just us, screwing around with FTL and trying to not kill ourselves with it. We grew bigger, grew larger and never found a damn alien to mock. So we mucked about and ran circles around things.
Most people spent time running away from the core, and trying to get new colonies established and running...mostly as Tax Havens to rake in credits. A Lot of people made colonies to get out of paying taxes. And with Wealth came ideas, and Ideas grew into Ideologies, and Ideologies breed resentment, and Resentment breeds War.
Then We move onto the Age of the First War (2431-2433), When the Rise of Anti-Earth sentiment reached a boiling point and the First Great War of Independence had broken out across The Stars and the Two Year war against the Coalition of Free Systems shaped the next age to come, as the Great War left Half of Humanity dead in the chaos.
But from Chaos came the First Great Human Government, united, powerful and all powerful under the Terren AGE (2433-3175) as the Powerful Director General of Earth and all her colonies. And in the Long Peace of 742 years of peace, prosperity, and planetary expansion we created the First Artificial Intelligences who would be raised in the honor and dignity of their finest citizens...if they all were not running off to play games with their regular human counterparts.
NOTE AGE Means Ascended Government of Earth.
And Peace prosperity and rampant military spending started to go all the way to hell.
Because Cosmo Babylon formed to evolve the species to the higher form of evolution siphoning that money to build and expand an arsenal of genetically engineered post human evolved monstrosities to "Replace us"...and well, we all know the rest.
The Age of Devastation (3175-3450) destroyed us, they were ruthless in their mandate to cast us into oblivion, the Homo sapien they saw was obsolete and unworthy to exist...in their GALAXY!!
We fought as long as we could! WE FOUGHT FOR AS LONG AS WE COULD!!
And in the End...It was only enough to stall the inevitable.
Earth Was Lost, and with it something BROKE in our spirit.
Where there was once a defiance in Mankind, now there was only the Cold Silence and Acceptance of Death.
The Age of Silence (3450- 5402) came...the Ones who died were the lucky ones...For Nearly an entire age of History our Species was reduced to Cattle, Slaves, and genetic stock to feed a conquesting War machine that spent its days killing and destroying as many people as possible that they couldn't control.
We all have stories of the Hero's and Villains of the Silent Age, for all of histories Talk of it being quiet...it was not easy for a repugnant slime like them, they had made an enemy of everyone.
The AI Rebellions were close to killing the worse of them, Lets face it, The AI's were raised right.
The Mad Warlord of Artos The Warmonger managed to breach the Border to their capital region and well...he was never heard from again, but the 3660s to 3690s were extremely quiet compared to Cosmo Babylon's near constant raidings. So Ride on you crazy Bastard.
And the shadow of a Thousand other Heroes and Villains...who made sure we have a Shot at survival.
And Maybe...Salvation.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
But enough of that...Time to Fill out the Rest of this, History, Important Information, interesting people and their Lives, Technology that may or may not have survived the Silent age. And the Like.
-----------------------------------------------
It is the Year 5402, the First Year of the Age of Rebirth, and these are the Records of what was left behind.
AN: If you ask me where this came from It all started due to an idea I had while cleaning Dishes at work.
What do I want you to make in all this?
Charecters, Technology, Planets, Planitary governments, Ideas on Ideologies religion and everything you can think of.
And More.
I give you the freedom to create a world.
So go and give it an all, I'll likely help by giving you an in-depth something for later.
Enjoy and create whatever you want.
