More detail about the Symbias, this refers to organizations and leadership heirarchy, the second part of the article also talks about a particularly important Symbias Trooper named Arkos.

Spoiler for Hidden:

  As stated before the Symbias is the most dominant species in the galaxy and is the only intergalactic species seen in the story (although the fact their intergalactic is a closely guarded secret among the Minders, the god-like intelligent creatures that rule the Symbias). The symbias is made of 3 sentient races, The Minders, The strikers and the Troopers, these aren't their actual names but are just what humans call them. The symbias is also made of other races such as humans and Xenox, as well as some non sentient creatures such as Champions and Scythes, primarily used for war and manual labour. A strict hierarchy exists for the Symbias primarily based on intelligence and superiority of species, Minders are the at the top of the pyramid, followed by Strikers and then Troopers.

Leadership:
  High Chancellors: The High Chancellors are a series of Minders that live exclusively on the passworld, they never go to the Milky way galaxy or any of the other galaxies that the Symbias have control in. They are the highest of authority over the entire Symbias race, though their practical rulings have very little effect on the Milky way due to the scale of the Symbias.
  Chancellor: The Chancellor is a Minder who is in charge of the entire Milky way galaxy and all its sectors. The chancellor is the ultimate authority for the Milky way galaxy and all orders of the highest and most priority orders come from the Chancellor (usually relayed via the High chancellors). The Chancellor is also the one who splits up Symbias rule into the galaxies sectors of Alpha, Beta and Gamma. Most Symbias in one sector are unaware of symbias in other sectors.
  Councilors: The councilors are a series of Minders and Strikers within a sector, each councilor represents a system (a series of star systems or planets). Councilors usually deal with matters that affect the entire system such as matters of total war or revolution.
  Warden: Wardens are usually Strikers and rarely troopers who are in charge of an entire planet. Wardens have relatively free reign to govern the planet how they like, and wardens are chosen by the councilor for that system. The only universal rule is wardens must pay taxes to the councilors (who in turn send them to the passworld), a warden who fails to deliver may be ousted and replaced with a new warden.
  Dignitaries: Dignitaries are Strikers and Troopers who are in charge of a region within the planet. They are under control of the Warden but are free to make their own laws for their own regions (informally called Countries by humans). Dignitaries act as semi-sovereign entities but any action that is overruled by a warden must be followed, lest military occupation occurs.
  The leadership beyond dignitaries is highly diverse, with most planets having different systems of governments for their regions.

Military:

  The military is a branch of the Symbias that is controlled by the councilors and a special group of minders known as the adversaries. Within the military there are many branches, organizations and different leads of authority. While each planet may contain their own militia, the official symbias military is distributed from the common pool of all symbias controlled planets.

 Adversaries: The adversaries are a group of minders that act as the Highest authority for the entire symbias army, planning strategy and occupation. The councilors decide where the military should be deployed, while the adversaries decide how it should go about its deployment. The adversaries act in parallel with the councilors, the councilors cannot command the adversaries nor the adversaries the council. The chancellor (and by extension high chancellor) however can command both.
 High Generals: High Generals are minders, strikers and very rarely troopers who have shown a tact for leadership and tactical thinking. They command over the military of entire systems and batallions. It is to be of very high rank to be considered a high general, to the point where you are almost onpar with the council or adversaries.
 The Grand Frontiersman: The grand frontiersman is given to a high general to lead as the face of the Symbias military. The grand frontiersman is usually on the frontlines of battle and is more used as moral for troops. Despite the ceremonial nature of the position, the Grand Frontiersman still holds tremendous amounts of power and status in the Symbias above even some high generals.
  The Chancellor's Dependents: The Chancellors dependents are a group of soldiers (usually strikers but rarely troopers) who act as the personal militia of the chancellor himself. They are considered the best of the best and supersede all authority below that of the Chancellor. As such they act as an independent arm of the military who often conflict with other Symbias. To become one of the chancellor's dependents is a tremendous honor and is extremely difficulty, usually requiring years of superb service and undying loyalty to the Chancellor. Chancellor's dependents are usually given sensitive information not even supplied to the councilors.
  The black 19: The black 19 are a unique group of 19 highly skilled troopers under the direct control of the adversaries. The Black 19 have a unique position in usually focusing on infiltration and corruption of the councilors. The Black 19 usually operate even without knowledge of the chancellor himself, and are experts at stealth and espoinage. The black 19 are legendary among the Symbias.
  Marauders: The Marauders is a branch of the military comprised entirely of troopers dedicated to small squad, guerilla and harassment tactics. Known far and wide in the symbias as well as other races for being the hardiest of the Symbias, they usually are deployed in hostile environments, heavily outnumbered and with no reinforcements. The Marauders have infamy for their terrible deeds, including massacring innocent civilians, cutting off food and water supply, and so forth.

Arkos eks Tarus:

Spoiler for Hidden:

Arkos eks Tarus, simply known as Arkos (Ar- being a prefix only given to troopers of notable worth after their life, so originally just Kos eks Tarus), is a notable and famous Symbias Trooper who achieved the rank of Grand Frontiersman of the Symbias army.

Kos originally came from a family of moderate wealth on a arid planet known as Kiera. From an early age Kos showed unusual intellect and physical prowess and at the age of 14, he enlisted in a local militia for the Tarus region under the trooper dignitary Armaka eks Tarus. Armaka had conflicts with surrounding dignitiaries and thus Kos was involved in a lot of civil fighting among of Symbias soldiers, however eventually Armakas proclaimed himself independent of the Symbias which drew the attention of the local warden. Kos, given the news and having loyalty to the Symibas, at the age of 18 infiltrated Armakas's guard and assasinated him in a one on one duel of Kirmas¹.

As reward for his skill and loyalty Kos was granted the name Arkos and was given the rank of commander under the official Symbias military. Arkos was deployed in several planetary engagements fighting against Xenox, Humans and Symbias alike. Arkos had great renown among his troopers brethren for his composure, charisma and absolute skill in battle, being especially noteworthy for his honor and skill with Kirmas. An especially noteworthy achievement was when Arkos defeated a legendary Xenox war-chief in one on one battle despite the latter defeating dozens of strikers. Arkos was then recruited by the adverseries to be part of the Black 19, in which he engaged on several esponiage missions.

Arkos had eventually discovered a councilor was planning to go into revolt due to a warden in their system being a trooper (which was very culturally taboo). Arkos, under orders of the Adverseries, assassinated the councilor but was caught and sentenced for high treason. Soon after, another black 19 member known as artes leaked the adverseries orders and the councilors plan for revolt to the public. This caused outrage among the troopers of every system, who saw arkos's imprisonment as unfair, riots and threats of revolt around many systems began to emerge. The council decided, in a rather strange move, to grant Arkos pardon if he went through a trial to determine his worth for pardon. This trial was to defeat 100 opponents in Kimsas one after the other. This was deemed to be impossible and impractical by many of the council but would give Arkos the chance to die an honorable death, thus calming the trooper revolts. However, surprisingly arkos managed to narrowly defeat all one hundred opponents, one after the other.

Arkos's fame after this was legendary and he was seen as a figurehead of revolt and trooper revolution. Arkos was invited by the chancellor himself, being one of the few troopers who ever saw the chancellor in person. And after a brief discussion assuring his loyalty, Arkos was granted the rank of High General and given title of the Grand Frontiersman, the only trooper in all of history to ever get such a title. Now Arkos fights on the front lines as the most powerful trooper in the entire Symbias, being absolutely loyal to the symbias and being an inspiration for troopers everywhere.   

¹ Kirmas is a traditional one-on-one duel in the troopers society in which two troopers each use a powerful energy blade to dispatch each other. It is considered very honorable and dangerous, the energy swords do not conflict and simply pass through each other, so the duel is usually ended in a single strike.

About the Religions within the universe

Spoiler for Hidden:

Abrahism

Spoiler for Hidden:

Abrahism is the primary religion of humanity, mainly from the Colonist Alliance and the lower classes of the Military Front and General Assembly. Abrahism is the natural morphing of all the abrahamic religions, Christianity, Islam and Judaism. Abrahism believes that Abram is the true god who tested humanities resolve by telling different stories to different sects of people to create adversary, harmony and diversity within humanities ideas. Abrahist believe that Christianity, Islam and Judaism as well as all its sects are equally valid sides of the same coin crafted by Abram. Jesus was a form of Abram, as was Mohammad and other religious profits throughout history. Unlike Islam, these profits were not profits of an all powerful creator (being Allah) but were instead the all powerful creator themselves in different form (being Abram). The spread of the different religions and beliefs was artificially constructed by Abram, coining terms like Allah and Yahweh, to create a diversity within humanities expansion as a test and resolve of humanities ability to unite while still creating intellectual and spiritual diversity. The beliefs of Abrahism are as diverse as all the abrahamic religions today, but instead they are unified in the belief that Abram is the one true god who spread his message in different ways and different forms.

Ardo

Spoiler for Hidden:

Ardo is the primarily religion of the Troopers within the Symbias, but is by far the largest unified religion within the galaxy, spreading to many different races both within and outside of the Symbias. Ardists believe that each individual interaction, whether conscious or not, creates a network within the universe that acts almost like a brain as a unified consciousness unrestrained by space, locality and time. The unified consciousness is known as Ar and is affected by all events within the universe, each event being a small cog in the larger machine of divinity that is Ar. Ardists also believe that the information from these events must be conserved even after death and destruction and entropy is simply the transfer of information from the physical world to the metaphysical consciousness of Ar. Thus as entropy increases and useful information decreases in the physical realm, the information is just pushed to the consciousness of Ar. The heat death of the universe will simply be the birth of Ar into the physical world, the rebirth of the universe into a new form and a higher tier and the creation of a physical deity encompassing all the memories, consciousnesses and history of all things in the universe that came before it. Another consequence is that upon death the consciousness does not disappear but simply joins the metaphysical of Ar, ready to be reborn upon countless years. Ardists thus believe that every event in the universe must be done to improve the stability and collective good of Ar, and thus ardists tend to be against Darkon technology which they see as the melding the physical and metaphysical and disturbing to the flow of Ar, damaging Ar and causality itself. (Though they will make exceptions for extremely useful applications such as STVN travel).

Tendism

Spoiler for Hidden:

Tendism is a growing religious cult among the Symbias that believes the Minders (real name Tenz) are the godly creators of the universe. The minders are an alien species that founded the Symbias but tenders see them as much more, godly creatures that have created the universe itself and act as their holy guide. In reality this isn't too far away from the truth, the Minders do have a universal engine at the passworld that is used to create universes and harvest the entropy within them, as well the Minders were the ones who uplifted the Xenox from the Serratan (in hopes of the Xenox joining them), uplifted the troopers and annexed the Strikers, they created the skull beetles that led to the plagues in the Beta sector, they also founded the Sectors themselves. Not only this but they have conquered thousands of galaxies with the Milky way being only one of many, they also know about the existence of the G.O., which is an overseer from the Realm and a true "god" of this universe. Most of this information is totally unknown by the species of the milky way, but because of their technological advancement they can appear godlike to the point that people worship them. Thus the followers of Tendism have unwavoring devotion to the Minders (and dislike the Strikers as inferior leaders), this actually leads to problems for the Minders themselves as Tenders will often oust strikers from positions of leadership so they can be replaced by Minders (and most Minders have no desire to lead and simply wish to move back to the utopia that is the passworld)

The Dark

Spoiler for Hidden:

The Dark is a cult of all races who believe in the three "Dark Gods" who were the creators and controllers of Darkons, the creators of the universe and the ultimate authority who wishes to uplift this universe to a higher tier. The Dark followers are often people with darkon implants or elements which are used to manipulate the flow of darkons with their mind, most people who have a strong connection to darkons will often have delusions and see and hear hallucination usually commanding them to do stuff, a process commonly known as "Darkon corruption". The thing is all the followers of the Dark report the same hallucinations and commands, which they claim are being told by the three Dark gods Saintri (The god of truth and madness), Markum (The god of progress and corruption) and Baral (The god of creation and destruction). The thing is the claims of the Dark are actually mostly true, the three gods are overseers of the Realm, the realm being the higher tier universe that created our universe. The three overseers communicate with the followers on a mass scale via Darkon manipulation. The most striking form of this kinda manipulation is with the Black Elegance (formally the Blue cross) an entire species who is almost completed devoted the Dark gods, even when their true identity is revealed.

Callius's Children

Spoiler for Hidden:

Callius is a Ket who activated the beacon and opened a connection between our universe and the Realm. The beacon shattered creating the elements which, when infused to a living being, grants that being unparalleld darkon manipulation. Callius being a Ket makes him extremely powerful, intelligent and resistant, but he also absorbed the most powerful Element (commonly known as the Jewel crown) making him the most powerful Darkon manipulator in the entire universe. This has made him a living god to many of his followers, capable of destroying entire armies with just a thought. As such several cults have sprung up around him both demonizing and idolizing him, the largest one being that of the Callius's children. This cult is devoted to serving Callius in his never ending mission to close the connection between our universe and the Realm, particularly being against The Dark cult and all its followers.

The Xenox don't have a primary religion and each tribe usually has their own unique spiritual beliefs, usually a mash up of traditional beliefs as well as other beliefs from other species.

This is kinda a rehash of stuff I've already said but I do really like it, it's more about darkons and how they kinda fit into our universe.

Spoiler for Hidden:

  So Darkons are the subatomic fundamental particles of the universe that make up matter and gravity, they're the particles that manipulate and bend space-time. Previously I discussed the different types of darkons but I want to go over it again in a little bit more clearer detail. The first thing is fundamentally there are two types of darkons, l and L darkons, these aren't very easy names so I'll say instead "attractons" and "repulsons". As the name suggests attractons attract space and time towards it, bending spacetime into a continuous source, while repulson repulse space time and push things away. In the normal universe an approximately equal quality of attractons and repulsons exist in a semi-stable balance, each attracton attracts other attractons and repulsons while each repulson repulses the attractons. These equal amounts of attractions and repulsions create a roughly flat universe in empty space.

  However, at times attractons will win out this delicate balance, attracting to each other due to disturbances in the balance and clumping together. Each type of darkon has a charge, positive or negative, these charges just like electrical charges repulse or attract darkons. When attractons with like charges come together, the coulomb repulsion eventually wins out the gravitational attraction of the darkons and they go into a stable equilibrium between each other, being pushed back by the like charges but pulled in by the coulomb force. The attraction of this pair of darkons is increased and pulls more attractons into the fold, eventually an equilibrium is hit depending on the type of charge the darkons possess, where the coulumb repulsion, attracton attraction and repulson attraction (which pulls the particle apart), this becomes matter.

  Now you might be thinking, what happens when two attractons of opposite charge collide? In general when two attractons of opposite charge collide they annihilate each other, turn to energy, then eventually reform back into attractons moving in different directions. However, eventually these attractons will collide again and repeat the process, the process of constant collision and conversion still creates a space-time attraction from the other attractons and moves them closer to the attracton pair, they too will collide and either form matter with like charged attractons, or continue in the process of annihiliation and reformation with the unlike charged attractons. Most attractons will do the latter and they will create a dispersed neutral space-time warping that doesn't react to electromagnetic waves due to the fact that it must necessarily be electrically neutral, this is often given the name today as Dark Matter and it comprises most of our universe.

  Now the formation of matter and dark matter leads to an imbalance between the attractons and repulsons, the repulsons now outnumber the attractons in free space. What this eventually leads to is repulsons slowly moving away from each other and expanding, this formation and the fact it happens omnipresently in free space is where Dark Energy comes from that creates the expansion of our universe. Because a lot of energy goes into comprising matter, dark energy appears to be much larger and more powerful than all the rest of the universe.

  STVN (Space time Vortex Navigation) is a form of FTL travel that uses a heavily condensed dark matter pellet fired at an extremely fast speed to warp space time in front of a ship to allow the trip to travel FTL in the outside universes reference frame (see previous articles for the MATH behind it). However the clumb of extra darkons will eventually lead to a warp storm, where the pellet will decay due to outside space attracting repulsons into the pellet, when the decay occurs all the attractons and repulsons will violent erupt from the pellet and shoot out in all directions. The calamity results in extreme and random spacetime warping known as a warp storm, warp storms can be devestating and would make long distance STVN impossible if it weren't for the invention of Echelon.

  Echelon is a darkon-resistent material that resists the very space-time warping that other darkons yield it. Echelon is a material entirely made of darkons that has a layered design. The first layer is a layer of liked-charged attractons, the second layer is a layer of unlike charged repulsons, the third layer is like charged attractons again, but twice as much, the fourth layer is twice as much repulsons and so forth. The thicker the echelon (and more layers of attracton-repulson-attractons there are) the more resistent the material is to space time warping. Echelon of this form is known as the AR2 design and the resistance to space-time warping occurs as follows.

  A space-time wave from outside darkons moves towards the echelon, the first layer of attractons gets pushed inwards towards the repulsons, the repulsons repulse the attractons which dampens the space-time wave and forces the attractons back into their previous position with no space-time bypassing the layer. If the space-time warp is so strong that even the repulsions are pushed towards it, the repulsons will further move the second layer of attractons which has twice as many attractons, the process will repeat but the wave will be dampened and the reverse effect will be twice as great, you keep doing this, repeating the layer and doubling the thickness of each attracton repulson layer (hence the name AR2) until the space-time warp is successfully repelled. If the space-time warp pulls the attractons away from the layer the opposite occurs, the repulsion amplify the pulling the wave for the second layer of attractons which further attract the first layer of attractons back into its originally position, again if the wave is too strong then the third layer will attract the second layer, or the fourth layer attracting the third layer.

  The layer of attractons have to be liked charge as they need to repulse each other so they don't convert into dark matter, the layer of repulsons need to be unlike charges for the opposite reason, they need to attract each other. The reason they are layered in such a way as to double each layer is that although the distance between each layer of attracton is greater than the distance between attractons and repulsons, the layer of attractons is also twice as large, thus the attraction and repulsion on each layer must be equal. Many different designs of echelon have existed, AR2 was the first but is somewhat limited as doubling every new layer results in an exponential increase, realistically you can only have 8 or so layers before the manufacturing becomes too expensive.  Many different forms of have existed including ARN, a form where the Nth layer is N times larger than the first layer, the distances between each layer has to be smaller and smaller though which results in a less than stellar design. Other such as ARN2 (which is that the Nth layer has N^2 times larger than the first layer) also existed, many different mathematical functions are used to gauge the best effects with no "universally" better one.

  I'll do the calculation at one stage to find out what the "optimum" layering design is for darkons, but won't right now

This article is about a specific story in the first video game idea set in the universe. Three factions within the Xenox fight for control, two major ones and one minor one. The conclusion of the game is a giant turn-based strategy battle, the effects of the battle and the endings for each faction are shown as well.

The temporary empires are being formed in response to the Symbias threat. The Symbias attacked the Sol system when it was discovered to have abundant elements which the Xenox had the monopoly over, ousting the humans out of that system was the better option than a war with the Xenox. However the lack of trade has caused the Xenox economy to fluster, so the xenox are desperate to get back their control and take Sol from the symbias. In response to war a temporary empire is formed to unite hundreds of thousands of tribes to the great conflict.

The Second Reclamation: Led by Grand Chief Errant Vis Karm, The Gifted.

Spoiler for Hidden:

  The largest temporary empire of the three conflicting, it is run by Grand Chief Errant Vis Karm, The Gifted, who is an intelligent male Xenox diplomat and politician. Errant is the grand chief of the Karm-It tribe, a large tribe consisting of about 3,500 Xenox warriors. Errant is well respected within the whole Xenox empire for the creation of the Reclamation, a long lasting temporary empire that consisted of 230,000 tribes consisting of roughly 220,000,000 Xenox warriors. He is considered a skilled diplomat and intelligent tactician.

  Errant was born as the son of Nictah, the then grand chief of the Karm-It tribe. The Karm-it tribe were scientific developers in an alliance with 300 other tribes known as the Tekkan Collective (named so being situated on the planet Tekkan). The Tekkan Collective was a small business manufacturer of medical and personal entertainment items, being about 4th largest cooperative of its type in the Xenox, and the Karm-It tribe was considered its most experienced researchers. Nictah, believing that the cooperative would not succeed without the latest tech, decided to start investigating and researching Symbias tech, buying defunct symbias salvaged technology from pirates and the criminal underworld. The salvage however was taken from illegitimate means and the Symbias, in an effort to put a stop to the operation, decided to annex the entire of the Tekkan collective and Tekken themselves. Nictah, trying to reason with the Symbias war party, was assassinated during the negotiations. Other leaders of the Tekkan collective were also assassinated in order to make annexing the world easier.

  Errant, now in control of the Karm-It tribe, fled Tekkan which easily fell to the Symbias presence. The annex of Tekkan caused some angst among the other Xenox tribes around the system, so Errant decided to use this to rally tribes from many other collectives to form a temporary empire to take back Tekkan. The formation began by talking to other scientific collectives about the lucrativeness of Symbias technology, once a sizeable army had been made it was easy to convince the local warlords and tribes around the systems surrounding Tekkan that something needed to be done. Thus the Reclamation was born, consisting of thousands of tribes, Errant was able to overwhelm the Symbias occupiers and take back Tekkan, but he didn't stop there. Noticing his success he began to bring more and more tribes into the fold eventually creating an empire spanning over 200 million Xenox, a quite sizeable empire. The empire eventually fell apart but only after several Symbias controlled planets were taken by the Xenox. With the new technology and fame, the Tekkan collective now headed by Errant became the largest collective of its type.

  Although the temporary empire was by far not the largest in history, it was possibly the most successful. 220,000,000 Xenox were able to conquer several symbias planets and even kill a Symbias minder, no easy feat! Not only this but even today they still have managed to hold the newly captured territory. This fame and success has made Errant a hero within the Xenox, and when it was time for a new temporary empire to form to take the Sol system he was the natural choice. With his newfound fame and influence he was easily able to form the Second Reclamation, consisting of over 65,000,000 tribes and 8,000,000,000 Xenox, making it one of the largest temporary empires in Xenox history.

The Time of Scorching Passed: Led by Urd Tom Las Vis Maak

Spoiler for Hidden:

The Time of Scorching Passed is the second largest temporary empire being led by Urd Tom Las of the tribe Maak Kan, a small tribe of 250 Xenox. Unlike Errant, Urd does not have prior fame nor are they the chief of their tribe, they are the third gender of the Xenox (neither male nor female, but being able to mate with both) and are renowned for being the finest warrior within the Xenox.

Urd was a warrior of the Maak Kan tribe, a warrior-spiritualist tribe that believed the way to spiritual enlightenment was fighting. They in general were used as mercenaries for missions by other tribes in ongoing disputes, but they had a code of honour and only took "honourable" work. Urd was a cut above the rest, the tales of exploits are limitless and varied. His first battle had him slay 3 other Xenox warriors, and his kill count has skyrocketted since, being almost unstoppable in hand to hand combat and melee combat. Urd is also able to shoot accurately, move fast and in general acts as a peak of warrior efficiency.

Upon the formation of the Second Reclamation, the Maak tribe was called to join. However the emphasis on sneaky tactics and diplomacy contradicted with the traditionalist values of the Maak clan so they refused. This caused some bitterness with other tribes that wanted to join the Second Reclamation, who which attempted to attack the Maak clan in order to force their alliance. This did not go well for these clans, as each one was systematically fought back by the extremely strong Maak warriors, lead by Urd themselves. It was only until a chieftan known as Ramtar. leader of a cooperative consisting of over 30,000 Xenox warriors, decided to declare war on the small Maak tribe that things became heated. Urd decided that the true strength of an empire comes from the head, and decided to sneak into the Ramtars home base with only 4 other Maak warriors. Upon infiltrating the base Urd challenged Ramtar to hand to hand combat, which he accepted. During the combat however, Ramtar was nearly defeated when he demanded his guards take Urd out, however despite being outnumbered 10 to 1, Urd managed to kill all the guards. Right before executing Ramtar, Urd said "The Xenox will not be ruled by the feeble" and proceeded to swiftly execute Ramtar infront of his subjects.

The display of strength actually inspired many of the surrounding Xenox tribes who were drawn to the traditionalist Xenox views of strength and victory. Soon a second temporary empire began to form with Urd as the head, known as The Time of Scorching Passing. During this empire a war between them and the Second Reclamation began, but despite the second reclamation having almost 100,000 times more men, The Time of Scorching Passing continued to succeed in battle after battle, this would drive more and more Xenox away from the Errant's empire and towards Urd's empire. Eventually Urd's empire encompassed over 30,000,000 tribes consisting of 5.4 billion Xenox, making it about two thirds the size of The Second Reclamation.

The Unified Xenox Empire: Led by Takkas The Conquerer.

Spoiler for Hidden:

While these two larger empires began forming, a third much smaller empire began forming in a far away system on a far away planet, although this empire was not a temporary empire but aimed to turn the Xenox into a true empire. Etta Vis Mell, later named Takkas, was the leader of the Mell Marr tribe, a small tribe consisting of only 34 Xenox who were struggling to survive on the planet Kordos. When Etta, however, heard of the wars between Errant and Urd, he began to hatch a plan.

Etta was a male, and a brilliant tactician and manipulator. He believed that the only way the Xenox would ever truly defeat the Symbias for control of the galaxy is for the Xenox to become organized, to become strong under a unified leader, the leader of course would be him. So Etta hatched a plan, renaming himself to Takkas, he began pitting tribes on the planet against each other, claiming to be an important informant. He would claim to be diplomats from both Errant's empire and Urd's empire, to different tribes, to spark conflict and chaos amongst the political system of the planet. Eventually the conflict he himself caused, he would take advantage of, accusing leaders of traitorous scandals, blackmailing important people and defeating renowned warriors through trickery. All these hidden and dubious tactics all fell into place, eventually making him leader of the Krodos collective, a collective encompassing over 1,000,000 Xenox on the planet Kordos.

Once he had become leader he announced his decree, to all those on the planet, that this would no longer be a collective, but a permanent tribe. A tribe that would last a hundred million years and would be the cornerstone and the beginning of a permanently unified Xenox empire with him at the head. This message had mixed results, some members of the new tribe rebelled but were quashed, members who supported Takkas became devoted through indoctrination and careful planning. Eventually Takkas had finally created the Unified Xenox Empire, the largest single tribe within the Xenox. Now that he had the beginning of his empire, his plan would be to expand and eventually conquer all of the Xenox, uniting every tribe under a single banner forever.

Spoiler for Hidden:

The Second Reclamation Wins the civil war but Loses the war against the Symbias:

Spoiler for Hidden:

The second reclamation expanded across the stars, being the largest ever temporary empire the xenox had ever built. But despite these facts, the empire fell to the might of the Symbias and the humans. A great angst fell across the entirety of the Xenox empire, how could such a large empire fail, especially when it was lead by the hero Errant? Eventually the angst turned to blame and anger, and Errant was executed and his tribe decimated. At the end of the day the Xenox became demotivated, not knowing any path forward they continued to decline across the ages.

The Second Reclamation wins the civil war and wins the war against the Symbias:

Spoiler for Hidden:

The second reclamation expanded across the stars, being the largest ever temporary empire the xenox had ever built. The sheer might of the empire, led by the tactical genius that was Errant, successfully conquered the Sol system from both the Symbias and the humans. Errant, knowing the true strength of the Symbias however, decided to stop the assault and settled into Sol, even allowing humans to frequent their home world as a sign of peace to unite against the common foe that was the Symbias. With a great base and the threat over the temporary empire eventually fell apart, but it fell apart to a good structure that would allow them to control the Sol system for many years to come. With the alliances made the Xenox were in the best place they have ever been in, increasing trade with the Symbias once again. Errant was once again considered the hero of the Xenox, but this time it seems that the name would stick for all time.

The Time of Scorching Passing wins the civil war but loses the war against the Symbias:

Spoiler for Hidden:

The time of Scorching Passing was the strongest empire the Xenox had ever founded, consisting of warriors and brutes, its strength was unmatched. But strength does not equal victory, as soon the more clever and calm Symbias and humans were able to fend back and defeat the Xenox, with Urd dying in battle. The Xenox were once again reminded that the traditionalist life style of warriorhood and strength had no place in the modern world, and once again the Xenox decided to move to more progressive traits and political systems. In the end the Xenox would bide their time, waiting for another Errant to rise up and achieve a true temporary empire built on intellect, not just strength.

The time of Scorching Passing was the strongest empire the Xenox had ever founded, consisting of warriors and brutes, its strength was unmatched. The strength was so much that the great warriors were able to push back both the Symbias and the humans, capturing Sol for the Xenox. Urd, however, did not stop here and continued to conquer planets, enslaving both humans and Xenox alike and conquering deep into Symbias system. The rampage of conquering was eventually stopped by the sheer power of the Symbias who got reinforcements to stop the assault, eventually the empire slowed and fell apart, but only after much territory had been captured. Despite this phenomenal success, the future of the Xenox was unknown, as the tribes within the newly captured territory were now disorganized the Symbias would prepare for a massive counter attack. Whether or not the Xenox would be able to hold their new territory, especially without the support of the humans, became an uncertain future.

The unified Xenox Empire wins the civil war but loses the war against the symbias:

Spoiler for Hidden:

Takkas had achieved his goal and created a Xenox empire that unified the Xenox against both the Symbias and the humans. But, the more standard tactics of the Xenox and new infrastructure proved too much to be sustainable and the fragile empire crumbled under the combined pressure of the Symbias and the humans. Takkas, considered a false prophet, was executed and publicly vilified. The notion of unification was notably squashed and soon the Xenox went back to their old ways, the unified Xenox empire that Takkas had envisioned became naught but a distant impossibility.

The unified Xenox Empire wins the civil war and wins the war against the symbias:

Spoiler for Hidden:

Takkas had achieved his goal and created a Xenox empire that unified the Xenox against both the Symbias and the humans. Surprisingly to all, the empire held and managed to both push back the humans and the Xenox. Takkas's empire was much smaller than anticipated when entering the battle, and almost none of the Xenox expected him to win, so upon the victory became Takkas's best voice. He held Sol and didn't push his luck by moving to Symbias territory, instead focusing on expanding his empire within the Xenox. He was named Takkas the conquerer and his victory influenced more and more to come to his side, moving him closer and closer to his true vision.

No one wins the civil war but everyone loses the war against the Symbias:

Spoiler for Hidden:

The Xenox were a crude and stubborn bunch, never deciding on a true leader to lead them. The disorganized Xenox were too busy fighting themselves then fighting the humans or the symbias, and were easy prey to both. Getting pushed back to Sol the civil war continued, with blame being thrown around on all sides. The Xenox was plunged into centuries of war, not progressing to a better future but instead cementing its fate in violence and petty rivalry.

No one wins the civil war but everyone wins the war against the symbias:

Spoiler for Hidden:

The Xenox were a crude and stubborn bunch, never deciding on a true leader to lead them. Despite their disorganization, the Xenox were true warriors and the chaos was natural to them, they managed to fend off both the Symbias and the humans. Despite capturing Sol, however, the civil war did not stop as many tribes fought for its control. While the Xenox were fighting amongst themselves, both the humans and Symbias were preparing a counter attack, one that the Xenox would surely fail.

A small (relatively) excerpt about universal translation

Spoiler for Hidden:

The universal translator project5 (UTP, also known by many names as the Way of Words, The Tower of Babal and the Connector project) is a multi-species project of cooperation to create universal translation between every species within the Milky Way. The origins of the project are unknown to the inhabitants of the Milky way, but the true origin is that they it was started by the Minders upon entering the Milky Way as part of a standard procedure when conquering a galaxy.

The universal translator project creates a universal translator, a data storage device that fits in a pocket that is able to translate over 508 billion different languages across the milky way, both spoken, written and otherwise. Every year a new backwards-compatible universal translator is released with an updated data packet for each language. Each species voluntarily has a representative linguist that updates the changes to the languages in their species for the next universal translator. Any universal translator can also be patched to include new more rare languages or to update an existing language.

Universal Translation works by first converting the source language into a fabricated language known as the Universal Template Language (UTL), the Universal Template Language is a hyper-optimized language that can express every idea within any other language with varying degrees of efficiency. The UTL is almost never changed, but has been proven to be able to express any expressible idea. The UTL is not designed to be spoken or read and is instead designed to be specifically parsed by the Universal Translator. Once the source language has been parsed into UTL, the UTL packet is then parsed into the target language and the language is seen to be translated. The UTL is used as a buffer so that adding a new language to the Universal Translator only requires being able to parse ideas from the language into the UTL and back, making adding new languages much easier.

The Universal Translator Project is managed by several species in a non-political scientific body existing on one of the aforementioned science stations (read entry made on 15/10/2017). They simply coordinate the translators of each species and assist in developing tools to make parsing languages more simple. With a large database of billions of languages, standard translator procedures and patterns have been consistently found, allowing for tools to make translating easier.

In rare scenarios a species may not wish to added to the Universal Translator Project. In these cases, if the species is considered important enough, another species can act as a proxy translator for the target species, thus adding an interpretation of the language to the Universal Translator Project. This can cause friction but is considered necessary for communication with that species. Smaller species that exist on only one planet or are not considered of importance are rarely added to the Universal Translator Project. As well, species that have no well-developed language are also not added to the Universal Translator Project.

Universal Translators are sold to the highest bidder, the money used selling the universal translator is used to fund more research. Universal Translators are considered expensive devices and few people will own one, they are worth around the equivalent of $80,000 USD in today's relative money, making them extremely lucrative items. More limited translators known as Regional Translators use data from a universal translator but store it in cheaper hardware and are sold by third party organizations for much cheaper prices. Regional Translators can cost as little as $500 USD to translate 10 or 12 languages.

This extremely good anoni and I would be willing to play it.

If you want, I can create a discord server for you, and I can make a wix.com site and label you as a co-creator.

[anoni]

Unfortunately the game I would want to make would require both a lot of time and a lot of money, maybe one day~

But for now I'm saving up money to release a comic, if I get lots of money then maybe I'll set up a vertical demo of the game and get investors.

I decided to talk about "The Final Hope" the greatest soldiers humanity have ever created.

Spoiler for Hidden:

Humanity had mastered FTL technology via darkons and STVN travel and had begun a massive rate of expansion throughout the galaxy. Despite this humans were still small fry to the other two largest empires of the Alpha sector, the Symbias and the Xenox. At a time where 50% of humanity still lived on Earth, the Symbias due to a trade dispute with the Xenox decided to attack the Sol system, and humanity was under threat.

Humanity tried its best, but with inferior weapons, tiny numbers and eroding political structure, humanity was easy prey for the Simbias and battle after battle was lost. As the Symbias got closer and closer to earth humanity got more and more desperate and began jump starting technological advancement by stealing technology from other species and adopting these new ideas into their own rapidly. One of the biggest technologies of interest was the genetic engineering being done by the Blue Cross in their creation of the Ket, super soldiers unmatched by all else. Humanity attempted to replicate this technology and the people the technology was applied to were called, "The Final Hope".

25,000 citizens were recruited, 18,000 died in the first week of treatment, 3,000 died in the first 2 months, another 2,000 in the first year. At the end of the training regiment due to the hurried nature of the treatment only 1,500 people survived. These people would be form the Final Hope Corp. Similar the Ket the Final Hope soldiers had exceedingly fast reaction times, better senses, a fast healing factor, super strength, superior intelligence and less need for food or drink. They were also equipped with extremely thick armour which they were able to wield with their enhanced strength, and were equipped with new weapons known as Lancers that were capable of firing 75 caliber bullets extremely fast. By the time the Corp had been formed the war against the Symbias was already showing signs of loss. The Final Hope were to get to earth to save it but the planet they had been trained on had been separated from earth by the invading Symbias forces, most of human territory was now already captured. The Final Hope then attempted to plunge a frontal assault through the Symbias territory, going planet after planet, using advanced assassination and guerilla tactics to achieve victory after victory, they killed even a few Minders (which is an extraordinary impressive fleet).

Alas despite the Final Hope being everything humanity could have hoped for, they were simply created too late and earth was destroyed and humanity surrended before they could reach earth. The remains of humanity regrouped in the outer rims of the galaxy and abandoned Sol, the Final Hope however were not so lucky. Trapped deep in Symbias territory they were encircled and invaded by Symbias forces. 25 years of constant fighting occurred with the Final Hope constantly defending and attacking in Symbias territory before finally regrouping with the remains of humanity, only 300 remained. The Symbias had considered invading into the humans territory and destroying them for good, but decided that the costs of a war with the humans outweighed any benefits and instead just chose to monitor them, again humanity was just a blip to the Symbias empire.;

When the Final Hope soldiers arrive rim, humanity had already been working on a replacement of the final hope, known as the "New Hope". With the destruction that the Ket was now causing the galaxy and the fall of the Blue Cross, humanity had realized that the cost and danger of creating super genetically enhanced soldiers was not worth the gain, after all the Final Hope didn't save humanity. Instead they decided to do a more mild and safer form of genetic enhancement, giving humans more strength and superior intellect, but not to demi-god levels. This created the New Hope Corps, which ended up encompassing more than 30% of the human standing army by the time of the military coup that would form the Military Front.

As for the Final Hope, their aging was not as well stopped as that of the Ket, so although they didn't age the same way as humans, time still had an affect on their bodies. Their skin began to rot away, their hair fell out and they became less able to breathe. However their muscles and immune system and organs still remained mostly intact. To compensate special loose fitting suits were created that acted as life support for the Final Hope, as they were still able to act as super soldiers, outclassing any other soldier in the Military Front despite their decaying bodies. The Final Hope today (when the story is set) act as special elite force for guerilla tactics in the Military Front, they also act as body guards for the Grand General of the Military Front. The New Hope is readily expanding and has become the heavy infantry force for the Military Front, participating in most battles.

The Final Hope give fear both among allies and enemies alike, known as Phantoms, zombies or machines they have always protected the interests of humanity as best they can.

This is fascinating! I love stuff like this. Hope you continue fleshing out this universe.
