== PREVIOUS EVENTS ==
=== Oblivion Event ===
06.15.2564 - 09.27.2566
The Oblivion Event is the period after the Overlords arrived on June 15, 2564. The Overlords speak from their ships, shouting over the entire planet that every living sentient creature has one week to move themselves onboard the Overlord World Ships or they will die with their planets. It becomes revealed what the Overlords want to do - condense all matter in the universe into a single planet, a single, far-easier-to-manage planet. They warn everyone not to fight them as they are outgunned, but most species already made that decision with Draconus' warning. Some however, do fight back, they try to defend their homes, but the Overlords are quick. They are destructive. They show no mercy. Planet after planet is absorbed into their massive World Ships. Even stars are absorbed. Everything. Every speck of dust is pulled into the vessels. Everyone's homes are destroyed. People are heart broken and forced to live side by side with species that they can't stand. By 2566, half of the visible universe is consumed.  
=== Example Event ===
04.12.2568 - 04.14.2568
By 2568, the entire Chaos Universe was consumed. In the last three years, the Overlords have been imposing order on their ships, demanding that species step forward as Regulators of order and within days, certain species stepped forward - namely a serpentine race known as the Parselonians, an avian race known as the Vogan, a mechanical race known only as Vigilants, a reptilian race known as the Moloch, the insect race known as the Nyx, and the other race known as the Nephilim or Demons. Remembering their previous Director, who was also an Overlord, the OMEGA Corporation also joined up as an Regulator. Within days, certain beings came to be promoted to the level of Interpreter, and they were namely Omega Ninja, Moros, Black-Scale, Varanus, Mordujisk, Vigil-One, and Mephistopheles, all under the Overlords. During this time, people starting disappearing, just vanishing in the night. The Regulators claimed that it was for the benefit of order that people touched by madness, chaos, or General's reality distortion field, must be kept away from the flock. Over time, people began getting frustrated and frightened that the Overlords would snatch them in their sleep and take them away to never be seen again and the scariest part - if it weren't for the architecture around them constantly in the ships, the people of Chaos would have no idea the Overlords were there. No one ever saw them. But their laws were clear and ever present. Rebellions and insurrections popped up occasionally, but were always put down quickly, quietly, and without bloodshed, but of course, the people of Chaos didn't like being kept like cattle. They fought back. A massive insurrection rose up to attack the Prison Ship by taking control of one of the World Ships. The largest insurrection against the Overlords in 2668 was put down quickly, far faster than anyone had anticipated. It was brutal and bloody. Wanting to discourage other insurrections, Moros and Ninja grabbed the Eight Conspirators behind the massive riot and publicly tortured and executed them. One of them was the pregnant Maria Tess, so nine of them were murdered by Moros on April 14, 2568. This event was meant to discourage insurrections. It just made these nine people of various races martyrs to the cause against the Overlords, creating a rallying cry.  
=== Home Event ===
04.14.2568 - 07.23.2574
No further insurrections arose while the people of Chaos were onboard the World Ships and the Overlords were pleased. And on March 3, 2569, the Overlords finally opened the windows allowing the people to see what they had been building: a massive planet, far too large to see everything - it was larger than a thousand galaxies. By 2575, the entire planet hasn't even been fully measured yet. Estimates place the diameter of the planet at 100 megaparsecs, which is about 300,000,000,000,000 light years. Three hundred trillion light years.They began offloading their passengers directly onto the planet, reseeding it with all the species they had claimed.
