Pre History

## **Dawn of Creation**

* Krona gazes upon the hand of the creator, witnessing the birth of existence itself.

* The Lords of Order and Chaos come into being, providing balance to the universe.

## **50,000 - 40,000 BCE**

### **50,000 BCE**

* The Maltusians settled on Oa with a noble mission: to chart the vast expanse of the universe. Their efforts led them to delve into the mysteries of the 9 avatars, seeking to harness their formidable energy. Among them, Krona, a prominent scientist, made a groundbreaking discovery – the avatars had originated at the very dawn of creation. Armed with advanced technology, Krona embarked on a daring quest to journey back in time and capture these immensely powerful beings.
	+ However, as Krona gazed upon the hand of the universe's creator, a profound disturbance rippled through reality itself. Krona met his demise during the Big Bang, which triggered the vary creation of the avatars he sought to capture.
	+ Krona's actions deeply troubled the Maltusians, yet they persevered in their cautious pursuit of understanding the 9 avatars. Their tireless research ultimately bore fruit as they successfully harnessed the potent Green light of willpower, channeling it into a central power battery. With this newfound energy, they forged an army of peacekeeping robots known as The Manhunters, charged with patrolling the universe and continuing their exploration."

### **45,000 BCE**

* The Manhunters successful mapped 3600 Space Sectors collectively known as Guardian Space, meticulously recording comprehensive data within the Oan databanks. Simultaneously, the Maltusians successfully located the embodiment of Anti-Life, Nekron. Their initial endeavour was to harness Nekron's formidable power, yet they quickly realised that the overwhelming force of Anti-Life was far too potent for any individual to control.
	+ Utilising the combined might of The Manhunters and their own innate abilities, they managed to imprison Nekron within a newly-formed planet, hoping that he would remain concealed indefinitely.
	+ However, a grim turn of events ensued during this confrontation, as the influence of Anti-Life corrupted The Manhunters, leading to a devastating massacre within Space Sector 0666. Faced with this dire situation, the Maltusians had no choice but to decommission The Manhunters and redirect their resources towards different pursuits.
