Spoiler: General Lore mostly about Humans

The Galactic year is 1,877 G.U. (Galactic Unity), in Earth years it is 2038. The setting of a classroom appears, with various alien children of differing species sitting at metallic desks. An Alien that appears to be a teacher is talking to the class, with the first lesson about Ancient dangerous species that have died out.

Teacher: "Now today's lesson will be very special since today marks the end of The Great Galactic War that began in 300,047 B.U. And ended in 300,018. Can anyone tell me the opposing sides of the Great War?"

Alien Child 1: "The Huma-Xorgon Coalition and The Yevlon Pact!"

Teacher: "Correct! Now for those who don't know, The Huma-Xorpha Coalition was a military alliance between The Trigons, Xepho, and the most infamous of all... Humans. The Yevlon Pact was the Military alliance between most Council Races today such as The Urga, Jiop, Yinon, and Kelha. Now the side who won is Yevlon Pact. But our interest is not in the war itself but in the most dangerous species that was involved in it, Humanity. Could someone tell me what Humans are?"

Alien Child 2: "Humans were these giant scary monsters that ate children! And they were mean and smelly! And ugly!"

Teacher: "While that is amusing, it is Incorrect. Humans were a Bipedal race that had two arms as well. They had a head just like everyone else and are Omnivores. Not much is really known about them since they haven't been around for nearly 300,000 years but there is one thing everybody remembers! Can anyone tell me what it is?"

Alien Child 3: "They used Magic!"

Teacher: "Correct! Humans were mostly feared for their superior Magic powers! Theywere known as the most powerful Magi in the Galaxy, no other species could replicate the power Humans had. At the end of the war they were made extinct for fear of their magical abilities. Since most of their technology at the time required magic, they were unfortunately unusable for any Galactic Council species. Most Human tech is very rare with only a few relics existing in the entire galaxy. That will end today's lesson on Extinct Dangerous Species, tomorrow's lesson will be about Ferans."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the year 2045, Humanity has colonized Mars with a research base on the red planet. It was there that an anomaly was encountered. When the first astronauts arrived, they had discovered strange abilities within themselves. In reports it was very often described as 'Magical' with the abilities of varying types such as elemental, telekinesis, and healing. When brought home, none of these abilities could be replicated and was thought to be either lies or something that could only be done on Mars.

2063: Humanity had finally terraformed Mars and we're sending colonists in the thousands to the 'Red' Planet. After placing water and reviving old dead plants on the Martian soil, it became more purple than red with all the revived life on the planet. The anomaly had resurgence again and this time was proven true, every single colonist had a certain ability that was often described as Magic. Further study would be required.

2101: Humanity had finally spread throughout the solar system colonizing most planets with either cities, military bases, or Research stations. The gas giants were being mined for fuel for the ships Humans had in Space. Their magical powers were growing ever more stronger, to the point they began researching the idea of incorporating the magic into their technology. It was also at this time The Council of Aliens had found out about Humanity coming back, their plan had failed. They sent the Insurgence fleet to make sure Humanity never becomes a problem again. This is the beginning of The First Contact War.

2114: 3 years after the war, and Humanity was the victor. The alien fleet couldn't fight against the growing Magical powers of Humanity. No tactics could be found to fight against such a foe, and nothing they put up could fight against Human soldiers with magic. The only place they seemed to have an easy time in was earth due to the lack of magical powers but even then, the fleet couldn't survive. After the defeat of the aliens, Humanity had United itself and created a Galactic Nation, they called themselves The Solar Republic based on the star Sol. This is a republic very much in the sense of the United States in which the government is meant to serve the people.

2126: Humanity had incorporated the alien tech into their ships and now had attained FTL travel, they began to spread among the stars with vast amount of colonies. It is in the Gestalt system they are finally told about the Galactic situation, and how pretty much every council race hates their guts.

2168: Tensions are still high between the Galactic council races and Humanity, with war being close on the horizon. The Kelha and Humans are having a territory dispute, with humans colonizing a planet the Kelha once inhabited but left due to reasons. The Kelha state that they have a claim to the planet due to it once belonging to their empire, while Representatives of The Solar Republic state that the Kelha abandoned the planet and the space, There aren't even any outposts in the region to warrant influence of any kind. This is the current year.

Spoiler: Alien Species

Humans:

Humans are the wild card of the Galaxy, they can be both geniuses and absolute idiots, Weal and strong, fast and slow. Their most remarkable trait is their ability to use powerful abilities often called Magic as they are the only species in the galaxy capable of wielding such destructive power.

Urga:

The Urga is a small reptilian race that's biggest asset is their intelligence. They are extremely weak creatures, with no real means of defense besides their technology. They typically fill out the more intelligence based roles such as doctors, scientists, and merchants. They are surprisingly spiritualistic.

Jiop:

These alien creatures are basically Centaurs in space, at least that's how humans see it. Their asset is their speed and mobility as well as their strength. They can hold up to 70 tons worth of weight and still be fast, making them great heavy ornament users. Often they are used as artillery beasts.

Yinon:

The Yinon is an alien species comprised of all females, they are very much ape like with their long hair thing and four arms. Their asset is Flexibility and adaptability, they are able to adapt to any situation with their wide arrange of skills. They are truly a jack of all trades. Oh and their children will always be their race no matter who they breed with.

Kelha:

This avian race has surprisingly no ability to fly since they don't have any wings. They are a verymilitaristic race valuing strength and power over everything else. Their biggest asset is their strength and prowess in combat. They are often to be viewed as the best soldiers in the galaxy, at least at the moment.

Xeropt ( Nothingness ):

The Xeropt are a race of what humans tend to call 'Andriods' due to how they are appear to be mainly all robotic and have the appearance of humans. Their original 'manufacture' to their 'creation' is unknown to the other races of the universe due to how they tend to be very distant when it comes to questions about such things. Although they may appear human, they did not possess the ability to use what they consider 'magic' however their intelligence is not to be under estimated; although many Xeropt have attempted to duplicate the 'magic' that humans use, they are unable to do so. Yet, they have invented different sorts of enhancements that eventually ended up being apart of the 'creation' of each Xeropt when they are born to give them abilities that allow them to manipulate things that make it look like magic even if it is not.

These enhancements tend to range from either being incredibly fast, strong, agile, durable or even other variants. Other more rare enhancements that some Xeropt possess if their body can withstand the enhancements can range to controlling ice, water, fire or even the other possibilities. There are very few others who can possess different sorts of enhancements yet it is highly unlikely that it happens too often or at all.

The Xeropt are able to eat, drink, reproduce just like others can even though there is a large amount of machinery to their body. They are also able to age and die just like any other race can though they do not exactly bleed, when their 'flesh' is punctured or cut in anyway, the metal of their body underneath will end up showing as well as any wiring and electricity if it goes deep enough. They are able to feel pain and emotion just like any other race as well.

Spoiler: Xii-Marth Lore

The Xii-Marth

Even though they do not look like a dangerous species they in fact are. The Xii-Marth are one of the most militaristic races that are part of the Council and the usual go-to race when another race needs to be eradicated since some of their tactics were crucial in the Great Galactic War. Their greatest strength namely isn't their massive military-industrial society but their unrivaled knowledge and capability to manufacture bio-weapons that can eradicate specific races. Luckily for everyone involved there never have been survivors that could attest to being targeted by Xii-Marth bio-weapons. The situation has lead to an uneasy partnership between the Hegemony and the rest of the Council as the Hegemony could strike out against their allies if they would feel threatened but without the Council's technology and resources the Hegemony would crumble and the Council would lose a large part of their effective military forces plus bio-weapon and plague knowledge.

Nowadays their development and deployment of bio-weapons is only aimed at ravenous races that only destroy and don't build. Incidentally their expertise with bio-weapons also led to them becoming experts at finding cures for plagues if they are persuaded well enough. The Xii-Marth military has a friendly rivalry with the Kelha military which leads to plenty of massive training operations to test each other's skill and win prestige over the other.

Their sprawling Hegemony sprawls over several sectors in the northern reaches of our galaxy where outsiders are only welcome in designated trading systems and can expect a 'warm' welcome if they stray into other systems unless they have authorization. The core of their Hegemony has tons of densely populated civilian worlds, tons of worlds completely filled with massive factory complexes that they seem to be made of metal from afar and countless lifeless planetoids, asteroid belts and gas giants completely devoid of resources mined by the Hegemony for their industrial complex in an earlier era.

Generally Xii-Marth are very humanoid in their build as they generally have the same body proportions as humans although they become around an average 2,15 meters/7'1'' tall, have a more muscular build by nature, have a better rib cage and way stronger bones. Generally Xii-Marth tend to live up to 300 years old due to their exceptional healthcare.

  Scientific Classification: Animalia, Chordata, Reptilia, Squamata, Ophidia, Serpentes, Hominidae, Homo, Daimons
  Nomenclature: Deimas (plural) e.g. 'There are a lot of Deimas around here'; Deimos (singular) 'they are a Deimos'; Dei (collective, i.e. for the sake of Dei, Dei shall benefit from this); The Dei (alternative plural/collective, like 'the French')

  Longest recorded lifespan: 13,350 years
  Potential lifespan: Unknown, theorized to be 'invulnerable' from physical degeneration by aging
  Sexes: Four, (4) -

  Male - capable of insemination
  Aesale - possess mammary glands and hormonal bonding systems physiologically suited to raising children. Considered calmer, more patient, and wiser than the other sexes.
  Zynale - physically shift between the other three sexes over the course of their lifetime in response to requirements, hormonal changes and environment, climate, emotional influences, and so forth
  Origin Planet: Xeos, Serpent Nebula, Milky Way
  Achieved FTL Travel: 2,004 years ago
  
• 
  
  
  Average Height: 6ft - 9ft
  Age of Physical Maturity: 30
  Ratio of Survival to Adulthood: 9:1
  Common Physical Traits:
  Horns - Deimas grow horns upon their head throughout their lives; as children, these horns will only be small, stubby things that fall out every six months or so. Upon reaching adulthood, Deimas tend to cycle their horns every 2-5 years. They grow in different patterns, lengths, colors, and sizes every time; Their design and growth is influenced by their hormones, mood, and environment. More horns are typically associated with higher rates of stress, fear, and danger, whilst fewer horns are said to correspond to luxury and comfort, thus it is considered fashionable only to have one or two.
  
  Horns are capable of feeling, and are extremely sensitive to delicate touches. Some saw off/break off additional horns for the sakes of appearances; This is not a painless process, to say the least.
  Colouring - Dei is far more varied in its colourings than humanity; skin tones can range from green to red to blue to brown, and their hair follows suit. A Deimos's origins can usually be noted based on their colouring; Those in warmer environments tend to be darker skinned, and also have cooler set body temperatures and more adept homeostasis. Those will paler skin tones are bad at regulating their body temperature in warm conditions and are prone to overheating.
  
  
  Eyes - Whilst it is typical for deimas to have two eyes, up to twelve have been recorded on one individual. Four is the next most common after two - those with three are a particular rarity and are considered sacred by deimos culture as it is believed they have the strongest connection to the spiritual and that they also possess powers of precognition.
  Ears - Typically, a deimos will have pointed ears; these can vary between being slight, or great long, prominent things.
  In all instances, a Deimos's ears are considered sacred. It is believed that in the ears is where a Deimos's life force is contained, stemming from the fact that their ears are the only point where complete cellular regeneration is not possible (i.e. scars can form, and they cannot regrow their ears).
  Regeneration - Deimas are able to live so long thanks to their unrivalled cellular regeneration abilities. Once they hit thirty, their body no longer physically ages; Instead, all cells are merely reproduced and replaced, along with additional proteins and fiber membranes such as collagen.
  
  Should a deimos lose a limb and not die of blood loss, they will in time be able to regrow the organ completely.
  
  However, there are consequences to this constant renewal; Deimas require an enormous calorific intake to sustain themselves. Additionally, specific healing is extremely slow; In theory, they could bleed out from a deep cut if left unattended. As a result, despite their long lifespans, they are ill-suited to combat.
  
  
  Pheromones - Dei is considered the most promiscuous and sexual species in the known traverse, largely due to their culture, but also thanks to their biology. A deimos's body produces and emits strong pheromones to attract mates and signal availability; Whilst deimas are able to smell these and identify them as such, most other races only experience them without being conscious of their presence. Deimas on the other hand can use them to identify when someone is sickening, pregnant, and sometimes even their present mood.
  
  Deimas are reliant on frequent mating; Without doing so at least on an annual basis, their bodies overproduce these hormones which leads to physical pain, mental fog, and also causes issues for other deimas who find the smell of such individuals acutely distracting.
  
  This is a biological fact evolved from how infertile the Dei are. Due to their bodies' natural disposition to resist change, it is rare for them to be able to conceive and carry a fetus to birth. If a deimos does manage to conceive, they will frequently use another species' as a carrier for the fetus; This they are able to transfer through a prolonged bite on said individual. Said carrier must have a somewhat similar chemistry to their own — without this, most likely the carrier and the fetus will die.
  
• 
  
  
  Violence - Despite being ill-suited to war, young deimas are often extremely bloodthirsty and crave stimulus, physical action, and violence. Scraps, fights, and murder is frequent in deimos culture, enabled largely by the lack of law and order.
  Law and Order: As mentioned above, there is very little law and order for Dei. Murder is permitted so long as it is not extensive (i.e. genocide) and does not cause a problem for the higher ups, and so long as is it not a part of organised crime. Theft, fights, etc. are expected to be settled between individuals. Those who are a part of organised crime / otherwise seen as a threat to the continuation and welfare of the species as a whole are apprehended and thrown into a place nicknamed by the humans, rather fittingly, Hell.
  
  The only crime always punished is sexual assault, where by the perpetrator is castrated/disfigured in some way and exiled from deimos society. This is by large treated so harshly due to the vulnerability deimas' hormonal systems create in them towards this kind of crime, and due to their reverence for sexual activity and its importance.
  Sexuality: Sexual orientation is considered a non-issue in dei culture; most commonly, deimas are attracted to all genders and sexes, though variations on this are not considered unusual or worthy of persecution. All gender presentations are also considered valid, and most deimas introduce themselves with their pronouns as well as their name upon meeting anyone.
  
  
  
  Sexuality itself is a huge part of dei culture, and is a part of almost all of their festivals, rituals, celebrations, and religious rights. However, it is considered punishable by death to engage in said activities with anyone pre-maturity, i.e. under the age of thirty, as it can lead to permanent complications in the expression of their hormones. Dei culture is about as sex-positive as you can get, and does not 'punish' or shame those who do not wish to participate in it, nor those who wish to participate in it frequently.
  Maturity: Most deimas, if they survive maturing, will die in their first few centuries due to wild lifestyle, violence, or adventuring; They do not know caution as a species. To live to an old age is respected if that individual has a lot to show for their years; Living a cautious, careful life of little note is resented and considered shameful.
  
  Once they reach 800+ deimas tend to become calmer, more placid, and experience the passing of time much less acutely. They form the government, guides, and wise folk of the people, and the galactic ambassadors of their people are typically 2,000+. Elders are thus considered immensely powerful, experienced, and are respected. Anyone below the age of 200 is considered a child and typically dismissed by those older.
  Nomenclature - Deimas do not typically have or use a second name - they will identify them as 'X' of 'Y', X being their name, Y being that of the Female who birthed them.
  Broods: Once born to their female parent, most deimos children are left with an aesale to be raised. This is done in typically groups of twelve-eighteen, with three aesale brood parents who work together to care for them until they reach the age of 18. When 18, deimas will go to train for a future vocation and are apprenticed under older deimas.
  
  Someones, zynales will be brood parents; whilst males and females can in theory be such, it is rare and not encouraged as they are considered ill-suited to it.

Spoiler: The Graveyard

The Graveyard
This sector of space has been uninhabited for a long time, and nobody seems to know exactly why. Rumors and stories rarely agree on the details, but what they do agree on is a story of greed and destruction.

A militaristic, territorial race used to inhabit this space. Descriptions range from giant blood-red arachnids to scaly moss-green reptilians, depending on the preconceptions of the person you're asking. The descriptions are commonly the describer's deepest fears.

Hundreds of thousands of years ago, two, or three, or four different denominations, based on fundamental differences, split apart. It took only a few years for all-out war to break out. Their military technology advanced by leaps and bounds throughout the war. They were a different race from the simply territorial creatures of the pre-war era.

Over thousands of years, the atrocities of the war began to manifest. Mechanical structures consumed gas giants to power massive battleships, of which could render a megalopis planet totally inhospitable. If given more time, they would have surely destroyed the galaxy in their pointless conquests.

At the height of the war, a tragedy occurred. Nobody agrees on what caused it, only that it happened.

Throughout their space, gigantic stars underwent premature hypernova. Some of them had projected billions of years before their explosive deaths. Another point of interest was that these hypernovae occurred in near unison. Within a hundred years, the war was snuffed out, while they attempted to outrun the gamma rays caused by these stellar implosions. But nothing can outrun light for long.

They refocused efforts from war to escape. Their ships propelled them to near the speed of light, skipping across the galaxy. However, "near" wasn't nearly enough.

Now, all that's left are lumbering, dead megastructures in orbit around dead moons orbiting dead planets. The sector of space that had been wiped clean by the hypernovae has been colloquially termed "The Graveyard", as it is the graveyard of whoever waged this war.

I'm allowed to post this, right?
