The Deltarine Empire

The Deltarine are the main focus of the "Starborn Empire" storyline. Their history is a complex one spanning many thousands of years.

Once natives of a galaxy somewhere in the universe, they were one of three races that rose to technological supremacy amongst their local system of planets. after many centuries of conflicts between the people of this system, clearer heads prevailed and peace was established. The Tri-World alliance enjoyed its first period of peace and mutual scientific discovery since the early days of primitive space exploration had led the peoples of all three culture to take to the stars. It was during this time of scientific achievement that the great instability of their galaxy was discovered. A super massive black hole at the centre of the galaxy was exhibiting signs of random instability which would eventually lead to a massive galaxy ending event that would have consequences for the whole universe.

The times that followed were beset by panic amongst all three cultures of the tri-world alliance, superstitious religious cults claiming that the end was some punishment by divine beings and splinter factions that pursued a military takeover of their respective homeworlds. Though the Deltarine had attempted to share technology and information to develop other cultures not yet at the technological level of the three main factions of the alliance, their attempts to develop these races led to yet more conflict as younger races sought a military solution and expansion.

The Deltarine knew they could neither afford a protracted military conflict or had the time to solve the issues amongst the races of their system, and plans were made for a mass exodus from their home into the depths of the universe to find a new home.

Silently, they left behind the other species of their old empire and in one massive fleet, they became a starborn empire, forged by thousands of years of self imposed exile.

227 years after their departure, the great ending came to their old home as the super massive black hold ceased to function and collapsed upon itself. the death throes of its final moments destroyed all life on a galactic scale. All traces of the Deltarine's origins was erased from history save for the fleet that now made its way across the universe seeking a new home.
