Everon Exodus

"Their world had abandoned them, and so, a small, last group of Evereni pulled together the technology they had left and abandoned their world."

## Everon Exodus

### Key Individuals

The Wanderers

The **Everon Exodus** was the event in which the Evereni species left their homeworld of Everon and took to the stars, exploring the galaxy after centuries of deadly war within themselves. They quickly found themselves surprised by the discovery that they were not alone in the galaxy. Having learnt only desire and violence over the last centuries of evolution, the Evereni attacked and fought every other sentient species they encountered, causing them to slowly vanish from the galaxy as they were routinely destroyed by those they attacked. Only a few Evereni remained as a result of their Exodus, surviving by supporting their own needs at the expense of others.

## Prelude

##### Evereni Conflicts

   In the years following the Great Storm, the Evereni fell into centuries of conflict and fighting among themselves. Their trust had been broken by the planet and continued to break as they began to betray each other. The survivors began turning to their institutions and leaders in government for aid. The government however had stopped making decisions based on fairness and trust, and instead allowing selfish benefit and fear to control their actions. In a world where resources had become dwindled, the institutions began massacring their citizens in order to increase the resources for those who survived the cull. This was the catalyst for what turned into war. Ships were constructed by opposing sides of the Evereni conflict, and fighting broke out. The opposing Evereni factions destroyed each other's crafts and killed one another. At first there appeared to be two factions, represented by colors red and blue, however it seemed even these groups eventually broke down as eventually all ships became less easily recognized in specific groups. Certain factions within the fighting were guilt of war crimes, using their ships to cut down bystanders and citizens on the ground. Even those who were not part of fighting within the war slowly learned that they could not trust each other, as those who failed to provide resources and standards of living for their family found their own flesh and blood killing them as a result of their failure.

## Recount

##### The Exodus

Eventually, a last remaining group of surviving Evereni were forced to band together and bring an end to centuries of fighting among themselves. They called themselves "The Wanderers". They brought together their technology in an attempt to build shuttles that took them into space and allow for galactic exploration, hoping to find a new planet that would not abandon them in the way that Everon had. They were successful, leaving the world entirely as a large fleet. Very quickly The Wanderers delved once again into fighting. They had learnt when to sense that another's goals did not align with their own and thus deemed such a disagreement worthy of destruction. As division grew between the Evereni once more, with the galaxy at their grasp, once again they used their ships to destroy each other, further dwindling their already vastly depleted numbers.

The Evereni were also surprised to learn that they were not the only sentient species within the galaxy that had taken to the stars, discovering other vessels manned by organized species. Having evolved as such they could barley live in harmony with themselves, the Evereni quickly found themselves unable to live with other species either. The Evereni began attacking nearly all other sentient species that they came into contact with, however they had had far less time to prepare themselves for conflict in space, and often found themselves defeated. Unwilling to end their conflict with each other and other species, and also unable to find victory in fights against more developed species, the Evereni became a rare species, only so many having survived the exodus. As a result of their behavior, they became outlawed and hunted by the galaxy, treated as an enemy to all.

## Aftermath

##### Next: ...

Eventually the Evereni determined that the only true person that they could trust was themselves, and themselves alone. Evereni began traveling alone, having so few of them survived. They learnt to lie and deceive in order to bring others into their schemes, until it was time to dispose of those who had crossed their path. Often, crossing paths with an Evereni meant death, as it had become their nature to distrust anyone but themselves. By most in the galaxy, the Evereni were a mystery and were so rare that they may not exist.
