"*Are they proud to be warriors because so many of their forerunners likely gained confidence in their unity from, I dunno, fighting Dark Ones or whatever?"

The **Civilization of Proxima** was the ambitious endeavor to bring a stage of social and cultural development to a hitherto uninhabited realm in Andromeda Galaxy, leading to its primitive executors and the technologically advanced Resometh doing battle in the process. Dating back to 7000 BCE, the civilization became a crisis when Genesis, the totalitarian lord of the Resometh, attempted to use his relic called the Eye of Remembrance, to eradicate the brand-new Proximan homeworld and plunge the universe into darkness. The Resometh were defeated by an opposing army led by the then-leader Shebar, and the Resometh retreated after Genesis was buried under rubble and falsely presumed dead, and the edification of Proxima was complete.

## Background

Long ago, the Resometh were an advanced race whose history predated even Andromeda. When life and civilizations started to grow around them and Andromeda Galaxy blossomed into being, the Resometh failed to adapt to this change in environment and sought a way to reverse the universe back to that which they preferred; the method of their choice was conquest. The lord over all their race, Genesis, formulated a plan to use the Eye of Remembrance to remake the universe in his image and completely wipe out civilization.

## Civilization

In 7000 BCE, several primitive near-humans congregated together, exchanging goods and information, intending to colonize a rich yet uninhabited realm in Andromeda Galaxy. They all met together and prepared to create an interlinking city, for which many more would hopefully come to span from. Meanwhile, the Resometh, led by their lord Genesis, sought to launch a violent conquest of the universe. The colonizers were courageous enough to stand up to the Resometh when they came to the land ready for civilization, and in doing so, came dangerously close to succeeding in their plan to unleash the Eye of Remembrance on the universe.

Under the command of Shebar, those capable of fighting defended their premature homeland, leading to a decisive battle. While the Resometh proved worthy foes, the colonial warriors were able to push them back. Shebar launched a successful ploy to steal the Eye of Remembrance moments before Genesis finally unleashed its destructive power. Numerous warriors came after Genesis, and they buried him under an entire tower of heavy rubble. The enemies of the Resometh assumed they had all perished in the battle, however. Shebar, realizing the Eye of Remembrance was too powerful to destroy, ordered the weapon to be concealed on a distant world where none could ever find it again. Zamb resolved to carry out this task for his leader, venturing into a cave.

The near-humans immediately proceeded to become a civilization and develop an official culture to call their own, one to stand out among the rest of Andromeda Galaxy. The Church of Oltron was eventually established. Their founding fathers made a truce with the king to help defend their young civilization so he could spend more time on his people and not solely military matters, in return being allowed to do anything legal they pleased in the burgeoning kingdom. Subsequently, the church targeted many potent dark places and destroyed them. Unbeknownst to them, the violent battle over Proxima had led to billions of Resometh meeting together on the remote world of Vartal centuries after the battle, uniting under the new lordship of Yeqon and awaiting the day when the Eye of Remembrance would reveal itself anew and they could make a second attempt at total conquest. The Proximans ended up destroying many Resomethean sanctums throughout the universe.

## Aftermath

Following a series of catastrophic events that threatened the hard-earned stability in Proxima, the Kraton Zamb Organa Senior retrieved the Eye of Remembrance from the cave and relocated it to the Church of Oltron. Meanwhile, a series of inter-dimensional rifts awakened Genesis, who befriended the Radamest Wanda, reunited with his people, and plotted their next offensive against the Proximans in their final attempt to successfully regain the Eye of Remembrance and transform the universe into eternal darkness.

## Trivia
