Cydurian Star Empire

Gets wiped out

"Kolins, you have received your one act of benevolence, when we spared your colony ship almost a century ago. Why have you violated our sovereignty again? Do you not care for what space is rightfully ours? Or are you suicidal? You chose to re-create the exact same transgression as before, you demonstrated your contempt against the Cydurian Star Empire when you trespassed through the entirety of our vast territory.

By travelling across it from one end to the other, do know we are aware of your exact location. If you dare show any sign of hostility, any negative intentions or harm to us. I can personally assure you that you will be kept alive and crucified to the bow of my flagship, facing forward so you can watch your precious United Kolin Nations and everything you ever loved die. Your home world will be reduced to mere dust in the cosmic winds, your species culture, history and identity will be expunged, your only purpose will be servitude. Then when the last fragments of hope leave your soul I shall grant you the sweet release of death.

You may salvage the technology you found aboard our derelict ship, it is so obsolete to us that we're sure it will hardly aid you in your endeavors to escape our wrath. This is the last time we will be diplomatic towards your kind next time we meet it will be in battle."

A sapient insectoid species who live at the top of the galaxy and control nearly half of it. The Cydurian Star Empire has vassilszed hundreds of other factions stripping them of they're cultural identity and home world, they merely exist to serve the needs of the star empire. The species where the first to reach space travel and so are far ahead of the feast of the galaxy technologically and colonized several worlds until the arrival of the Delthrax. A vile species who came to the Milky Way from the Small Magellanic Clouds, they had already went through the entirety of Andromeda and came to our galaxy to find new life to play with. The first contact between the two were really hostile and the Cydurians fought of 3 invading waves before the Delthrax brought the bulk of they're overwhelming navy. However the Delthrax took great interest in the Cydurians since they're one of very few other space fairing species that they encountered in their travel. Still though the Delthrax wanted to play around with and mess with the life of the universe and so far this is the best canvas they found and the Cydurians are the most adaptable canvas they found so far. They genetic engineering to remake them as they pleased. Theybecame musical instruments, mounts, furniture, decorations. Whatever you're mind can come up with is what they converted some members of the Cydurians into merely for fun as they used technology to do all that already. As Delthrax ventured further into the Milky Way they ran into a vast, dying organization with the combination for technology that could be possibly progressed any further. They came from a place that suffered galactic destruction and move from Galaxy to Galaxy seeding it and terraforming millions of world so that life can flourish.

They almost immediately and without warning went to war with the Delthrax as their presence in the galaxy was already known by these 'precursors', they were disgusted by their genetic mutilation of other species when ruining with would be their natural evolution. And so the forcibly exiled the Delthrax from our galaxy. But after what was a relatively brief skirmish to the precursors, the Cydurians who waited for 10,000 years for they're slave masters to get bored with screwing with them and explore only to meet hopefully a faction that would cripple their presence. And with the dream in plan that was generations in the making, handed to them on a Golden Platter they stage they rebellion and killed almost every single Delthrax except for one ship they let go which carried a massive bomb on it. However when they went to go greet these precursors to so graciously savours they were gone, no really trace of their actual species was left aside from some scattered remnants of their technology and their terraformed worlds. And so the Cydurians who lost their home world and colonies to the Delthrax, who destroyed them as a final act of spite before being defeated all grouped up in massive city ships in their home solar system and all we did around the sun using it's light as energy. It's this period when the species most prominent religion came into existence it was a semi worship of the stars, they give several worlds the exact temperature and light amount needed for life and right now they are the only power source the crippled species could relie on. It gave them and so many others life and so they would protect and nurture many they came across, however there were still the matter of foreign species as well as becoming very religious they became extremely xenophobic. With so little being no one of the precursors they eventually fell to myths and legend, but still such compassion from another species couldn't be overlooked.

So to ensure their survival and that never again may you another species from some foreign Galaxy or they're could ever reduce them to slavery again they formed the Cydurian Star Empire. and began their conquest of subjugating all other wildlife and wiping out their cultural identity as well and if necessary their homework, once the species was stripped of their cultural identity any genetic tampering would be undone and the species reduced to how they originally looked long ago. For something technology the store empire managed to obtain from Delthrax was they're Weaponized form of bio engineering, which they forested used to finally return themselves to their original look form 10,000 years ago before they were subjects. They did not to subjugate all other life as a means of some petty revenge, they wanted to break down other cultures and other life to rebuild them in the same way they have. To create a homogenous galaxy of one culture, one set of beliefs that they hope will unify everyone. Because only if everyone is on the same page with the same identity they can all truly coexisting in unity and the Star Empire can be truly safe.
