Lore
It was a time of light, it was a time of darkness. Civilization had prospered greatly within a balance that only peaceful coexistence among spacefaring societies could bring. Each of the known systems had something to offer the others, who were all eager to receive. The axes which had been ground for millennia by the four differing cultures had long been buried. Then, it happened - an event of religious armageddon for some, an event of impossible chaotic chance for others. Historians today call this the "Great Collapse"... more lore...
