The Alteran Colony of Desmora
CHAPTER 1
Alteran Galaxy 1, 000,000, BC
The Alterans had always been a peaceful scientific race. They thrived on unlocking the secrets of the universe and understanding the laws that bound the universe together. There civilisation was already 2 billion years old they fled from the first home world of Celestis over 1 Million years ago.
The Alterans had always believed science was the way forward where as some of the race who are now known as the ORI felt that religion was the way forward, they believed that the coincidences in the universe had a secret meaning like a universal intelligence existed that the coincidences where in fact a test by this universal intelligence, so inevitably the ORI and the Alterans went to war which lasted 300 years no side gaining ground on the other, the Alterans decided to build a machine called the ARK OF TRUTH which basically showed anybody who peered into it the truth of the universe, but in the end it was never used as the Alterans had one rule everybody should have the right to believe in anything they wanted so the project was abandoned and they left their home on the mighty city ship called Altrea which departed for a galaxy far into the unknown.
Somewhere between the Milky Way galaxy and the Desmora Galaxy 9,999,600 BC
It had been a 100 years since the Alterans had left Celestis, there sensors had picked up a viable galaxy to colonise the name they had picked for this new home was Avalona. They have also picked up another smaller Galaxy which also had quite a number of viable habitable worlds they could colonise this galaxy was called Desmora. The Alterans had many debates over the years as to which Galaxy they should Colonise and a decision had finally been reached they would colonise both their main galaxy would be Avalona and only a small Destiny sized ship would be sent to Desmora, which in turn would only have 10,000 people sent with it they understood that it may be a one way trip but overall it improved their chances if they colonised both galaxies rather than just one. They decided after the destiny sized ship left they would delete all records of its existence for safety reasons, they would be alone.
Destiny 9,999,500 BC
There was one Alteran who was eagerly awaiting the launch of destiny and that was commander Remus. Remus was a young Alteran by official Alteran standards he was 75 years old which in human terms he was a young adolescent. The Alterra had never seen the like of an Alteran like this before, he had already reached level 3 in Edeva related skills which even for a 500 year old Alteran was amazing, he had a natural talent for learning new skills. Remus had already topped his class in strategic warfare, science and mathematics he was one of the greatest minds the Alterans had to offer and he would be the one to lead the Desmora expedition.
"Commander Remus report to the bridge of destiny immediately" said Grand commander Moros of the Alteran council over the intercom.
"Remus here, what can I do for you Grand commander" said eagerly awaiting the grand commanders reply.
"It is time my old friend, time for the launch of destiny, all our hopes and dreams rest on your shoulders now my old friend, from me and your brothers and sisters we wish you the best of luck on the Desmora expedition." Said the commander with a slight saddened tone to his voice.
" you knew the day would come Moros u have guided me for my entire life, I am truly grateful for moulding me into the Alteran I am today, I will miss u like a brother but we have to take our leave goodbye my brother."
"Goodbye old friend stay safe and make the Alterans great once again" said the commander with such respect in his words.
"Lieutenant please prepare the destiny for hyperspace travel, we should get underway immediately" Remus said to the lieutenant.
"Yes sir, hyperspace travel will take about 10 minutes to engage."
"Excellent we can waste no time at all, after all out civilisation depends on it" said Remus.
