Links Rules Galactic Archives Character profiles	Many years ago, the sentient species of the Milky Way were nearly wiped out by a foe known as the Raxan. This species was terrible and cruel, its overriding hive mind directing it towards one purpose: conquest of all. The Raxan were a race of beings with no kindness or compassion, as well as being incapable of feeling any kind of emotion at all. The Raxan were beaten back, however, and under threat of annihilation the Raxan agreed to never again take up arms, and were monitored closely to make sure they would honor their word. For over five hundred years, the Milky Way Galaxy enjoyed relative peace and prosperity under the Federation of Planets. The galaxy was seemingly on its way towards Utopia, a new golden age of cooperation between races. However, that would not last. The Federation became bloated and corrupt. They mishandled many catastrophes, wronging several species that were considered to be minor in the galactic stage. Their mangled policies and crippling red tape led towards a violent uprising by a group known as the Rebellion. EIn addition, the Raxan seemed to be with them. The Rebellion "liberated" the surrounding planets and it appears that they had established an alliance with the Raxan. With the ultimate warrior race on their side, the Rebellion is a threat the Federation can no longer ignore. The galaxy is tearing apart at the seams. Will you fight for peace and stability or do you sympathize with the Rebellion's cause?	Staff members -Sapphire Flame - Tetroneaque

They're very territorial and they don't move around much anyway, so they wouldn't have much motivation to move into another Earthshaker's territory. " Ezkuro was feeling intensely curious. "Why do you even tolerate those things on your home planet? Why don't you just kill them all if they're so dangerous?" "Ezkuro, you know how prey species reproduce quickly and have so many children?" "Like the Smeerp or Telkazor Lillion?" "Exactly. Now, how do you suppose the species of Falke would adapt to the ultimate predator, one that eats all biomass in the surrounding area?" Ezkuro thought a bit. "They'd have a lot of babies?" "Bingo. And what do you suppose would happen if the Earthshakers disappeared?" Ezkuro thought for a moment, and suddenly he realized. "Oh, I get it..." "Exactly. There would be a population explosion that would cover the globe, followed by the biosphere becoming sterile without the competition that the Earthshakers gave. Without a significantly powerful predator, natural selection would grind to a halt. Say goodbye to diversity. Even the Valker, the giant birds birds of prey that hunt in packs like wolves, wouldn't be able enough. So, while we don't like the Earthshakers, we would much rather adapt to the Earthshaker threat to limit casualties on both sides rather than destroy the one thing keeping the population in balance. " "I see then. " Xynto spoke up. "As much as I enjoyed that lecture on ecological niches, we still need to find the lab. Serkane, Ezkuro, you will accompany Tetroneaque to Falke. Find that lab and transmit as much data as possible to my computer. My PDM number is 111-1111-1111. " "That's a simple number to memorize. " "I'm the leader of the most powerful species in the galaxy. I can have whatever number I want. Besides, I can't afford to have someone have something to tell me but forgot my number. " "True. Well, Tetroneaque, do you want to leave right now or would you like to talk a bit longer?"
