Distant Past

Creation of the Multiverse...

A spiritual entity splits into two separate beings, the Great Light and the Profound Darkness. The two beings battle for many, many years before the Great Light finally traps the Profound Darkness in another dimension, using the three planets of the Algo star system as a seal on the dimensional portal.Knowing that, eventually, the Profound Darkness will be able to release the most vile and destructive aspect of his personality into our dimension once every 1000 years, the Great Light creates the planet Rykros in Algo to warn Algo's Population of Dark Force's arrival.

Billions of Years Ago:

The First Ones evolve. They build mighty civilisations, create technological wonders, fight epic wars and walk amongst the stars like giants. Eventually, they tire of this galaxy and depart beyond the Rim, leaving three of their number, the Shadows, Leviathans and the Vorlons, to watch over the Younger Races. The while the two guardians fight numerous wars for control of the galaxy, divided by the similar ideological split as the Great light and profound darkness thousands of centuries prior. During this time the Leviathans dominate the galaxy, enthralling every new sapient race they encounter and protecting them in return for tribute. The Leviathans begin to consider themselves the galaxy's first and only apex guardian race. After observing that their subservient races create synthetic races who consistently and violently rebel, the Leviathans create an Intelligence to seek a way to permanently preserve organic life.

Millions of Years Ago:

The Intelligence creates an army of pawns to gather genetic information throughout the galaxy. The Intelligence then betrays the Leviathans, using its pawns to slaughter as many of them as possible for their genetic material to create Harbinger, the first Reaper. They turn to move on the Shadows and Vorlons but are driven out of the galaxy by the Enhanced Biological Technology of the other Guardians.

65 Million of Years Ago:

Earth's dominant reptile superorder, the dinosaurs, are wiped out when an asteroid impacts the planet. Some of Earth's dinosaurs survive the asteroid impact and continue to develop and name themselves the Voth. Sometime thereafter they leave Earth and travel to the Delta quadrant where they create one of the first interstellar empires in the quadrant.

20 Million of Years Ago:

The recorded history of the Voth civilization begins in the Delta Quadrant.

1 Million of Years Ago:

On Earth, the ancestors of Humans begin to distinguish themselves from their primate ancestors by their intelligence and reasoning skills.

Construction of the vast city around the Guardian of Forever, stretching out to the horizon of its planet.

A Vulcan Science officer once estimated the age of the ruins to be "on the order of ten thousand centuries" in 2267.

597,300 B.C.E.

The Tkon Empire collapses as they began to approach First One status.

497,600 B.C.E.

Civilization first begins to flourish on Bajor.

197,635 B.C.E.

The Iconian Homeworld is bombarded by a coalition of races, The Iconian Empire Collapses, they become a dark myth being called the "Demons of Air and Darkness"

The large bioplasmic organism, dubbed as the "telepathic pitcher plant" is born in the Delta Quadrant.

By at least this point, the Original Borg species [Species 0001] have begun their evolution into cybernetic beings, but they have yet to form the collective or begin hostile assimilation of other cultures. See 1225 A.D.

97,628 B.C.E.

The Profound Darkness, no longer weakened by her battle with the Great Light, begins to send Dark Forces into our dimension once every 1000 years. Meanwhile, to combat this threat, the Great Light uses representatives from each of Algo's peoples -- the Palmans, the Motavians, and the Dezorians.

*Unknown Date*

The Vorlons visit many worlds, conditioning the Younger Races to see the Vorlons as angelic beings of goodness and light. They also sow the first seeds of telepathy. The vorlons imprint stories about the shadows and Reapers on the Protheans, setting them upon their path of forced galactic unification. During this time the palmans make long distance contact with the Protheans, the first Communications burst from Andromeda to the Milky way.

48,911 B.C.E.

Pairus Fents, a Palman biologist, begins Joint research with the Protheans using the galactic Communication's relay on cloning and cryogenics technology. He uses the process they came up with to make a clone of his recently deceased daughter. Sadly, the process is not yet perfected, and the clone perishes, however the Cryogenic technology proves to be a success and both races begin to employ the technology.

48,780 B.C.E.

The heavenly bodies of the Algo system align. A freak gravitational occurrence causes the planets Palma and Motavia to exchange orbits while Dezoris tilts on its axis. All of Algol's planets are adversely affected, but Palma is harmed most profoundly. Using his immense mental powers, Bishop Gumbious shields Dezoris from the worse effects of the disaster. It is by his action alone that Dezoris is spared total destruction. However, the Bishop's incredible act of will results in his death. He is laid to rest within the Guaron Morgue. Corona Temple, the center of all religious activity on Dezoris, is renamed "Gumbious" in honor of the fallen bishop. Meanwhile, in the midst of the tumult, an electronic intelligence named Mother Brain intervenes, taking control of all electronic systems on Palma. Mother Brain even builds highly sophisticated complexes and networks capable of stabilizing Palma's shaken climate. The Palman government is so grateful for the help that it allows Mother Brain to continue her work without any impediment, even though no one knows who built Mother Brain or where she comes from. Slowly the Mother Brain network spreads to both Motavia and Dezoris as those planets are stabilized, too. The palmaforming of Motavia begins, a few palmans transport ships claim to have seen some large gateway appear and disappear on the edge of the system, historians believe it may have been a temporally displaced iconian spacegate.

48,675 B.C.E. - The Great Loss

During this time the Palmans began to construct a great station that would serve as a gateway to the galaxy of their new friends however a spacial anomaly relocates the half finished station to the milky way, the construction crew with the assistance of the Protheans finish the station while the palmans back in algo repurpose the secondary platform to be the receiving array.

48,000 B.C.E. - Fall of the Protheans

A third Receiving array is launched to Triangulum galaxy, a journey that will take the automated vessel many thousands of years to make the journey, the Palmans are unaware of the 'extra cargo' carried aboard the gateship,The Palman Citadel station is taken from the Protheans by the reapers and redirect it to their hiding space, the galaxy gets harvested while the shadows and vorlons are unaware of their return due to their own conflicts, the reapers however avoid key races of power to avoid drawing any attention to their existence, during this time a malfunctioning piece of reaper technology 'merges/assimilates' with a primitive human exploration probe that fell backwards in time eventually becoming the entity known as V'ger.

47,780 B.C.E. - The Death of Palma [1285 AW]

It is discovered that mother brain is actually a reaper AI or a reaper without form(how she lost her ship self is a mystery), she slams the artificial Satellite Gaira into Palma, its singularity core quickly rends the planet into an asteroid belt, it's discovered that this reaper was being controlled by one of the 'dark forces' of ancient palman lore. as the Slipstream gate technology was designed by mother brain, the palmans begin to examine all examples of mother brain based technology to understand this new threat.

46,685 B.C.E. - Iconian Relocation

A group of Iconian scientists get stranded in what they believe is a parallel universe where they were forced to build a 'burrowing' gateway to escape home, it failed due to the fact they were only temporarily out of sync with time. the only available powersource was the local population, the humans of the world can generate large quantities of energy they called chakra. The activation of the gate killed everyone including the iconians, their energies drawn and stored in the gate for all eternity, the disaster also released a enormous amount of energy into the space nearby causing a stellar level event, a nearby spacegate was disturbed by this energy and the great light took advantage of the situation, realizing that its foe would eventually raise itself from the ashes, using its power it relocate the algol sector and imprinted it over the lone system, the end result was the tightening of the seal around the profound darkness' Prison which it's corpse resided still, the new world taking palma's place in the stellar formula that governed the prison, many palman ships flocked to their new homeworld and settled with their more primitive brothers. The one gate they built to escape remains to this day outside of the city known as Kyouringakure where it remains to this day occasionally activating for little reason, Shamans have noted they can feel the stain of energy of those who charged the gate over ten thousand years later and theorize that the method of powering the machine might be the reason it malfunctions to this day.

46,000 B.C.E. - Palman Discovery

Wreckage of an unknown object is discovered near Dezoris , eventually being partially reverse engineered into Palman Jumpgate technology, it is believed that the displaced iconian spacegate was struck by some object or blasted by some vessel. The limited surviving components made the palmans theorize and Approximate how to repair the gate and then build more, their versions used a rare element Q-40 that allowed them to burrow much further into the subspace layer then the iconian versions, into a red-shifted subspace layer the palmans referred to as hyperspace, the same realm that most of the first one races used to travel. The first known network of Jump Gates are built by the Palman civilization, these jump gates are self recharging and are not secured, all races have free access to the palman gates, however nobody to date has yet figured out they are the builders, both the vorlons and the shadows seem content that the palmans are 'linking the galaxy' which allows their conflict to evolve further and include more primitive races, during this time the vorlons aid the surviving protheans to reconfigure the Citadel gate, the shadows drive the reapers back into dark space in anger, as their harvesting disrupts the chaos of evolution.
