Zycklirg Hordes:-

A spiritual race, that has lived in peace with all races for a millennium. 
They have spent their time building up a strong protecting their resources, 
social order and most importantly their Queen. They have researched many 
ways to save energy, whether it is construction or on travelling though the 
vast universe. Their peace was shattered over 500 years ago when their 
spiritual home of Gebela was invaded and destroyed by the KEA and the then 
Queen Gnaden was killed. With this crime against their way of life, their 
society the angry of the Zycklirg army was unleashed. With no experience in 
war the Ritua Generals called on the Secretive and ancient order of the 
Zyckcon to seek revenge for their Queen’s death. The Zycklirg Hordes where 
formed for this purpose. They are highly trained warriors who in a short 
period of time grew in to a fast, numerous and deadly warriors. The Zycklirg 
Hordes massed the largest fleet of ships ever seen to drive the KEA out. The 
battle of Gebela was not won by either side and cost the lives of 250 
million Zycklirg Hordes. Following the battle the Ritua Generals order that 
all Zycklirg shall serve in the Zycklirg Hordes and that research in warfare 
be the main focus until this KEA threat be removed for once and for all. Now 
a new Queen has come of age and she is determined that the KEA pay for their 
crimes.
You have read about it in the history books, now you must answer the call 
and make history too and defend your Queen. Are you up to it? If you are a 
ship awaits you!

Kallan Emporium Acquisitions:- (K.E.A).

The Kallan Emporium race has only lived above the surface of their planet 
for the last 200 years. Their advances however have been fast. Their ships 
being able to hold vast amounts of much needed cargo. They have spent most 
of their resources and now search the universe in the search for worlds to 
mine and strip of all natural minerals. During their travels they have made 
many enemy, but now they are at peace with all but the Zycklirg. This war 
has raged now for 5 decades with neither side willing to talk peace. The war 
started over the mining of Gebela, a planet rich in minerals but also an 
ancient spiritual home to the Zycklirg and the unfortunate death of Queen 
Gnaden . The first major battle taking place in the Gebela sector and 
resulting in the death of 200 million Kallan Emporium Acquisitions and the 
lost of 900 billion oraim energy crystals.
The years of war and mining have taken their toll on their social. 
Everything is now focused towards the claiming of resources with young 
Kallan Emporium being forced to enlist in the Emporium Acquisitions . The 
Emporium Acquisitions are made up of traders and warriors, ready to fly to 
any part of the universe to claim a planet and remove resources that they 
find there.
Now you have reached the age of enlistment. The Emporium Acquisitions 
require your services to maintain the supply of goods and riches. Are you 
ready to make a profit?

Paragon:-

The Paragon race was once a great and powerful race spanning many solar 
systems. They prided themselves in their knowledge and technology. This 
quest for knowledge and advancement had compelled them to research and 
explore the galaxy.

During there many years of research they discovered the technology for 
genetic engineering and created a race of warrior slave that they called 
Mawlors. This lead to many years of high productive due to conquest and many 
advances in technology. But no one could imagine the cost on the Paragon 
society. Things started to go wrong, as the Mawlors started think for 
themselves. The Mawlors secretly plotted their escape and their numbers grew 
as did the concern of the council. Weeks before a planned reductions in the 
Mawlor numbers they took over several key facilities. Many Mawlor died as 
they tried to escape but a few of them did. Many years had past and many 
Mawlor had been de-activated, the search for those that remained had been 
stopped. A new danger to our way of living had immerged.   A few scientists 
had notice the Veis star getting larger and larger. As its’ brightness grew 
so the planet’s environment began to shift from one extreme to the other. 
The Paragon decided they had no other choice but relocate their whole 
population to a distant galaxy. As they left the star imploded into a 
SuperNova destroying the whole galaxy and now nothing remains in that part 
of space but dead space.

Now you must help to rebuild the Paragon empire and to hunt down the 
remaining Mawlors who still haunt the memories of your people. Are you ready 
to help your race succeed in their new home and in their quest.

Mawlor Royal Guard :-

Having been engineered and breed only a few decades ago the Mawlor have as 
yet not discovered much of the universe. What they have discovered they have 
had to fight for. The Mawlor where engineered 72 years ago by the Paragon. 
They where breed for the sole purpose of defencing the Paragon way of life 
from the Xollians. Their creators frequently sent many thousand Mawlor to 
their death on suicide missions in there search for knowledge.

After 47 years of this way of “life” the first Mawlor (Talut) gained the 
ability of independent thought. This was kept secret for a further 5 years 
as Talut help many other Mawlor’s to achieve the level of independent 
thinking. As time past the Mawlor’s increased in number and in their desire 
for freedom. The secret council of the Mawlor’s planned their escape even 
though they knew would cost many lives. They took over several key Paragon 
starbases, including the Nemimus Centre (Paragon starship research centre). 
They held these facilities for almost a week while they prepped their 
starships for their escape.

The time came to make their new ships (including some experiential jump 
ships) out though the Paragon’s fleet that they new was waiting for them. 
Many Mawlor where lost as they broke though the Paragon fleet including 
Talut. But escape they did. Now you the latest and most advanced Mawlor have 
been engineered, you have been granted the honour of being assigned to the 
Mawlor Mantis. It is your duty to find a new area for your race to populate.

Xollian Mantis

Xollians have been around for centuries. They are the charismatic holy 
warriors of Eachthiarna who fool many people into thinking they are being 
helped, when in fact the Xollians are only helping themselves.

Overall, Xollians seek glory and prestige. They do not care how it is 
obtained, but they wish to be recognized by large amounts of people for 
their skill and prowess. If they achieve this by helping the poor, so be it. 
But often times they will make deals on the side with the enemy in case 
things don't pan out, or to enhance the perceived glory they get for the 
"valiant rescue". In the end, it comes down to looking out for number One.

The home of the Xollians originate from the planet Xolli, which lies on the 
edge of the delta quadrant. However Xollians have for the last thousand 
years been a nomadic race who roamed the universe constantly looking for new 
challenges and excitement. Their one turning point was when they took part 
in a great race war. Even though they were extremely skilled in combat, the 
Xollian armies were greatly outnumbered at the Battle of Basheba Prime and 
were defeated. The remaining Xollian factions gathered their families and 
fled for the very survival of their race, contrary to the very nature of 
their being.

The structure of Xollian society is largely based on a warrior-like code of 
honor and relationships between families. Honour, pride, and trust are the 
foundations on which Xollian society is based. Perhaps the most interesting 
aspect of their society is that there are very few written laws and no one 
has the sole position of enforcing them. When young Xollians reach a certain 
age they are required to swear on their families honour that they will do 
their best to respect their own kind and protect that honor. Lying, 
stealing, cheating, and other such acts are simply considered to be beneath 
them. Any Xollian who has proved him or herself to be dishonorable will be 
punished mercilessly by their peers.

Now you have come of age and as the eldest member of your house it is your 
honour to join the Mantis and seek to honour your house.


With this sort of history/background to each of the races it would be 
possible to start each race with different Global relations levels. For 
Example

For Zyck
(lower relations with races and their supporters, possible higher relatins 
with races they feel have suffered or they thing are honourable)

	KEA  		-180
	Paragon		-50
	Mawlor		50
	Xollian		100

For KEA
(low relations with race that it has been at war with and race that would 
hunt them. Good relations with race that they may supply goods to)

	Zyck		-140
	Paragon		175
	Mawlor		0
	Xollian		-95



For Paragon
(as a race that has built its’ self on the quest for knowledge it would have 
made a few enemies, especially its’ former slaves. However they would be 
like traders due to the resources that would be needed for their research)
	Zyck		0
	KEA		220
	Mawlor		-190
	Xollian		-150

For Mawlor
(as a warrior race and their struggle to gain an area for themselves they 
would have bad relations with most other races)
	Zyck		50
	KEA		-80
	Paragon		-220
	Xollian		-70

For Xollian
(as hunters they would not be popular with the traders or races they have 
fought with, they would however respect the spiritual race)
	Zyck		120
	KEA		-90
	Paragon		-140
	Mawlor		-190


FEED BACK WOULD BE NICE, UNTIL THEN I LEAVE THE DESCRIPTIONS ALONE!!!!!

If you want a long history then say so and i see what i can dream up.
