~~I do not own any part of Gene Roddenbery's Andromeda (Tribune, Roddenbury, et al owns it). This story is a product of my own imagination, but its chracters are not.
~~I know this story will seem kind of slow to start. I just feel this is stuff i have to cover to make the story more complete and rich. This story will be written from the Nietszchean angle, (i find the Nietzscheans very fascinating, and if it were possible i would want to be one of them) so if you aren't finds you may not like it. Thanks for clicking here, and i hope you enjoy.

"The cloning of sheep in the 20th century aroused Mankind's first speculations about genetic engineering. There would be heated debates over the idea that "Man was playing God," by manipulating life with his own hands.
"This era of ignorance is but text chrocnicled in our libraries as ancient Earth history. The human race has transcended its 'morals' in the name of something greater--Science. By manipulating deoxyribonucleic acid, the very 'building blocks of life', we have improved the operation of the human body. There are those of us that swim the ocean depths with the ease of a whale, those that cross deserts without a single drop of water for days. There are those of us that can survive in the cold, thin atmosphere of the highest mountain ranges and those that can live in the dark, oppressive underground. These are examples of Man's achievements. Those figures that have inspired us most, Ayn Rand and her greater predecessor, Friedrich Nietzsche, deserve a special place in our memories.
"We spawned a new breed of excellence that challenges the abilities of any other organism in the history of all Creation--we created the Nietzschean race, so named after our great teacher. We at Ayn Rand Station celebrate our achievement now, 25 years after Dr. Paul Musevini, founded the Station and later gave birth ,through me, to our supreme race. His death last year was a shocking blow. I, Drago Musevini, will do my best to uphold my father's beliefs, and improve upon the work that he has done since he arrived at Fountainhead. That is all."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And so began the formation of the Drago-Kazov tribe of Nietszcheans in CY (Commonwealth Year) 8425. Nietszchean Progenitor Drago Musevini went on to become the first leader of the Nietszchean race. His active involvement in building their civilization led to the extension of their species to 8% of the overall human population of the Systems Commonwealth. It is during his time that the Systems Commonwealth entered into its "Twelve Centuries of Peace," a time where no obvious enemy threatened its members.
This led to unease among the civilians, who felt that the High Guard was unecessary now that the Universe had seemed to enter a state of lasting peace. A political movement to disband the High Guard was begun, though in the year CY 9760, a referendum held on the matter rejected disbandment (48% to 52%). Advocators of disbandment vowed to address the issue again after the 10 year waiting period. The attack of the as yet unknown species, the Magog, on the planet Brandenburg Tor in CY 9766, postponed this referendum until further notice.
The events that followed soon after led to the fall of the Commonwealth and The Long Night. To avoid any more attacks, the Commonwealth signed a non-aggression treaty with the Magog to the outrage of the Nietszcheans. After 15 major Nietzschean prides threaten to secede from the Commonwealth, the High Guard assures them of their security. Little did the High Guard know of the betrayal they would face from the Nietszcheans....
