THE SABORIAN RUNDOWN
_______________________________________________
(History until Now)
(see Glossary for terms)
(If you ONLY read the big teal words you can still get the jist of their story)
= 2642 A.D. the First Wave left Earth and headed for the Atlas Galaxy(Atlas Universe)(AtVerse) =
= State-of-the-art-ships like Saboria-Prime (an Engineering/Mining ship) made the trip in 20 years, slower ships took years longer =
= Saboria-Prime got bumped by an anomaly upon entering slip-space and exited 11,000 years before the rest of the First Wave =
= They crash landed on what is currently Hailos (3) and built what is now the 'Hailos Ruins' as a means of shelter from harsh conditions =
= They mined the planet and dubbed it 'Helbos Ceeon' (Hells Gate), sending out search parties to see where everyone else landed =
= Some of them made sacrifices to the Blue Sun (before they knew it was a planet -->Karklun 4) and carved/painted on the shelter walls =
= The First People voted, and they left Helbos Ceeon to search for other survivors; they found no one but more space, planets, and moons =
= The First People decided to keep exploring, to mine the planets and moons and create things they needed and dreamed of =
= They grew, had to build more ships, split off into Clans based on their skills, and ensured the survival of humanity; as they saw it =
= They began building onto The First Ship (Saboria-Prime) and turned it into a moving space station they dubbed, Saboria: Home =
(image (c) to perspective owner)
About 6,000 years before the rest of the First Wave Arrives...
= The Nahili (Bad Aliens) came and began destroying anyone in the path to 'their' resources and the Clans of Saboria fought hard, but were loosing =
= Saborians tried to clone and duplicate Nahili technology sometimes with disastrous results, at least succeeding in preventing their annihilation =
= For many years their people survived by being nomadic and largely hiding from the Nahili, or waging gorilla war on their mining and supply ships =
= For many Generations, this was what they new and the Vvai-Council was born to wage war against the Nahili more directly =
= The dwindling number of Saborians refined their Clans into strategic skills, giving highest authority to the elders, forming the High Council =
= The High Council Commissioned the realization of the Jumpgate network to allow faster travel across the system itself =
= The Nahili began gorilla warfare of their own, setting up faux-mining parties with minimal guards and ambushing the Saborian fighters =
= Being unable to detect which mining missions were real or not, the Saborians had to pull back on their attacks of the Nahili =
= The Nahili took advantage and pushed an all-out assault on any ship, station, or technology that wasn't their own =
= Once more, humanity as they knew it was on the brink of extinction and their enemy was just bigger and more advanced =
(original images (c) -and credited- to perspective owners, edit by Tu)
About 3,000 years before the rest of the First Wave arrives...
= The Catai (Good Aliens) arrive in sparse but powerful numbers apparently already familiar with the destruction of the Nahili =
= At first, the Catai didn't want to wage war on the Nahili, but to save the Saborians, they agreed to teach them new things =
= Together, the Catai and Saborians finally made the Nahili stop and take notice, to regroup their own fleets and resources =
= The Saborians made even more astonishing leaps of technological advance including Leviathan-brained ships =
= Both sides advanced in a the 2,000 Years War, and re-advanced to retake the system =
= Eventually, the Nahili were defeated into numbers too small to maintain AND wage war; negotiations began =
= The Catai moved to the Blue Giant (8a), they always accepted visitors but brought in all their ships =
= With the help of the Saborians, the Nahili were banished to the other side of the OuterRings (8b) where they swore to live silently =
= The Saborians finally got to move their home-station to a single location hidden within the complex asteroid field (7) outside Javos (5) orbit =
= For another 700 years and change, there was relative peace in the AtVerse and everyone got a chance to live equally =
(image (c) to BSG, woohoo)
Then, the rest of the First Wave arrived...
= 2662-2672 A.D. (Back on Earth anyway) the rest of the First Wave arrive in the system and the Nahili send scouts to Javos =
= Seeing humans on the planet, the Nahili accuse the Saborians of breaking their treaty with them and the Catai =
= The Saborians send their best to infiltrate the intruders and determine their origin, swearing to the Nahili it wasn't them =
= Before they knew it, another Wave arrived and the Nahili saw it as an act of war, accusing them of getting reinforcements =
= And still more WAVES arrived and the Nahili has restarted their war, while the Catai remain dormant and unseen for hundreds of years =
= It's only a matter of time before the Nahili take the war to the inner planets, until then, the Saborians are trying to learn all their secrets =

PLAYABLE POINTS OF INTEREST
_______________________________________________
+All that war throughout the system over resources...
...there's bound to be clusters of ship debris...Saborian AND Alien
+Likewise, there might be evidence of mining on some planets/moons...
...places where the earth is scored and has regrown
+There are jumpgates out there, cloaked and mobile...
...find a way to detect them and then try to figure them out
+Saborians have been infiltrating the AtVersians since the First Wave...
...maybe there is a group trying to figure them out too!
+more will be added as it's pointed out or suggested,
