[ WP ] `` The Empire '' spans galaxies and seeds planets with families , only to come back any number of millennia later and swallow these new civilizations wholesale to fight in its wars . Earth is next .

It started when the Kyron attacks stopped. 
 Out of nowhere, the race that had terrorised all other factions and races just... stopped. Of course, there was debate. Some argued it was a miracle. I argued it was suspicious. What could the Kyrons be doing to justify stopping attacking everyone? 
 
 The situation got so bad that it spurned peace talks between the two human factions, my rulers, the ERA, and the profiteers of the NAGAP. It was agreed upon, in secret, to mount an expedition into Kyron territory, the first one in centuries. What they found, shocked us all. 
 
 The Kyrons never stopped attacking. Of course they would n't. Have you seen a Kyron before? Of course you have n't. They do n't have a concept of peace. Or war. Only expansion. And they never stopped expanding. They only tried to regain lost territory. 
 
 Who would've seen though, that it was the Cyrissian Empire who had done it? Sent an entire fleet forward *through time*, to make sure their empire lasted millennia. 
 
 Their admiral does n't know about the civil war. He was the emperor's third son. He claimed the Cyrissian throne, long dead, and is establishing a new empire, this time, not benevolently assimilating other races. 
 
 He massacred the Molkhrosan colony ships. I was there. You know how Molkhrosans hum when they're happy? It happened so fast, they all died humming. Slaughtered by their former masters. 
 
 They destroyed the Ahkosi too. Hunted all of them down. The race with so much success, so many friends. We could n't save them. 
 
 I tell you, kid. We're on our way to try and stop them. The combined strength of two bitter enemies to stop this. It wo n't work. They're unstoppable. Their weapons are far more advanced, their soldiers far better trained. We're lambs to the slaughter, and the Earth is next.
