League of Sentient Races

The **League of Sentient Races** is the continuation of the New Alliance of Free Stars after the collapse of Hyperspace in 2170. Formed using the Warp Bubble Transport of the Flagship II, the League set off to the Kessari Quadrant with intention of finding out the cause of the collapse, as well as set up colonization efforts in the area. Upon arriving in the Kessari Quadrant, the League was met with the Hegemonic Crux, the local power bloc and principle rival to the League's ideology.

**History**

In 2170, Inter-dimensional fatigue causes Hyper Space travel to collapse. All transportation between the stars ceases. Many Precursor technologies (Shiva Furnaces, Hellbore Cannons, etc.) stop functioning. The Galacticus is lost and presumed destroyed. The Captain regains the memory of the vision. Study shows the vision occurs near the galactic core in the unexplored Kessari Quadrant. In the intervening years, The Captain uses the Precursor artifacts on Unzervalt to build a Warp Bubble Transport system that can travel between the stars without using Hyper Space. The Captain builds a new Precursor colony vessel to carry the Warp Bubble Transport system. Without Hyper Space travel, the New Alliance collapses.

In 2177, The Captain contacts the League races and informs them of the potential destruction of all sentient life. The Captain is sure it is connected to the collapse of Hyper Space and wants all races — Alliance, neutral, and ex-Hierarchy — to join into a League of Sentient Races to investigate. The Captain offers to command a mission to “follow the arrow of the Rainbow Worlds toward the Kessari Quadrant at the center of the galaxy. There we can halt the interdimensional fatigue, restore Hyper Space, and prevent the destruction of all sentient life.” As the Captain is the only one with a ship that can move between the stars, the League forms to support the mission. The following year, The Captain uses the Warp Bubble Transport system in a one-time supercharged mode to "thrust" each colonization group from the League's home quadrant to the Kessari Quadrant. Because of the instability of the supercharged mode, no one can know which colony group will end up at which star. Because of the great distances involved, the mission will be cut off from communications with the home quadrant. The exploration and colonization mission to the Kessari Quadrant begins.

During the mission, the League of Sentient Races encounters the Hegemonic Crux, invaders of the Kessari Quadrant and war begins shortly after. Due to the war, the League faces internal struggles, with three races potentially joining the Crux and discovers the existence of the Eternal Ones, a race of ancient gods intent on devouring all sentient life in the galaxy as they have done countless times before to countless other galaxies. However, with the aid of the Heralds of the Eternal Ones and the dismantled forces of the Crux, the League is able to prevent the Eternal Ones from devouring all life and repair Hyperspace, reinforcing it for future generations to use.

## Command Structure

Much like the New Alliance before it, the Captain of the Flagship has been given leadership over the League's mission to the Kessari Quadrant. Each colony established is self-governing and each representative of each race has a say in how they want their colonies to be produced. Final say in these matters is given to the Captain. The Earthling Colony provides engineering support and scientific advice to the Captain, whilst all other colonies provide fuel and ships for the Colony Fleet.

## Fleet

A second Precursor ship was built on Unzervalt prior to the formation of the League and acts as the Flagship II of the fleet. Due to its ability to move through space using the Warp Bubble technology, the Flagship II acts as the only method of interstellar transport for the League as a whole. A fleet of Colony Ships was also constructed for the League races attending the colonization mission and each of those races provide ships to the Colony Fleet as a means of defending their colonies and helping the war effort against the Hegemonic Crux.

## Members

The League of Sentient Races is made up of a number of species from their home quadrant, as well as a few Kessari races who join after the League arrives in their space.
