Rewrite of Prologue

Prologue

In the Twilight of the Age of Technology, a mere few days before the Men of Iron rebellion, one last Great Colonisation Exodus was sent out to the Eastern Fringes of the galaxy, going as far as any great Journey mankind had, to reach beyond the stars of their boundaries. During the great journey across the stars, these ships were suddenly blown off course by a Warp storm, which had appeared during their many of these ships were sent off course many became lost, forced to wander aimlessly through distorted space, until their Gellar fields have failed, making them victims to the daemons that awaited them. Others emerged from the warp, only to find Humanity in Chaos and disarray as their mechanic servants rebelling against them, but the few who made it found themselves in an unknown region of space, filled with unknown stars and planets waiting to be explored and colonised. One group of ships would finally found their planet to call home; Gaia.

Other colony ships of the once great Colonist fleet found other planets to call homes; Drakona, Trier, Acarnania, Vanaheim, and many other worlds. These outer rim colony would have established contact with the remnants of humanity, but as the Age of Strife dawned, in time, they would become isolated to them, resulting in them believing that the remnants of mankind, has perished, like all great civilizations before them, and so they created the Stellar Republic at the end of M25, the last remnants of Humanity as they declared themselves to be, or so they time, these young Colonies would explore their new home, colonised many worlds and meet new races present in these unknown space and forge alliances with them, not fearing nor judging them, for as they believe, all sentient life should have the right to exist, and that all races should unite and live in prosperity.

Although however there were a few notable exceptions to this belief...

The Orks discovered once again in M26, were nothing but brutes, spreading death and destruction wherever their despicable space fleets and their Waaghs took them. There was no hope of ever bringing them to heel

The Necrons, discovered in M28 on accident, were nothing more than simple coldless machines that could not see reason and only wish for the complete extermination of life in the galaxy. The accident caused by the Archaeologist team had sparked the birth of the Arotepk Necron Dynasty in the Western Veiled Region, and they have been threatening the borders of the Western Veil Front for years

The Eldar, discovered in M38, in the time of the Federation were a controversy one to this rule. For starters, they betrayed the Federation at the Battle of Achar, where the Eldar of Biel-Tan turned against them, leaving them to die against the Necron counter-assault, all this for just a few Soul stones. The Population of the Federation ever since the "Betrayal at Achar" are torn between pitying them and hating them for their treachery.

And many other races like the Tyranids and the forces of Chaos

Because of said beliefs, they were able to forge strong alliances with 5 alien races; The Mechari, Felinids, Echidna, Migoi and Pelagers and in M29, on the Planet Harmonia in the Asterion Region, these 5 species, along with humanity, after the devastating Scrin Conflict, united together and formed the United Stellar Federation; a Federation of Species, with the sole purpose of uniting all races together in peace and unity, through peaceful, or by more aggressive means.In time, The Federation expanded over the unknown parts of the galaxy, claiming and conquering worlds and systems unknown to all, creating an Interstellar Empire comprised of various species found throughout the unknown parts of the galaxy.

They have fought many battles, won victories and lost, they have endured many hardships, endured Invasions, have been upgrading their technology, dating back from the time of the Dark Age of Technology, as well as creating new Technologies over the countless Millennia. Now in the middle of the 41st Millennium, after 17 Millenniums they are ready to return to the known galaxy. Not as the Human Colonists from long ago, but now an Interstellar Empire, one that could rival the Imperium of Man and those that would dare stand in their way and goals of a united Stellar Society.

But their dreams of such a thing is threatened by

Many trials and challenges await this hidden empireWhether they will pass or fail, prevail or lose, rise or fall...

Only time will tell...
