Andromeda Galaxy

The **Andromeda Galaxy** is a barred spiral galaxy nearby to the Milky Way. It is also the home galaxy of Proxima. Proxima Prime is the largest Proximan city, home to tens of millions of Proximans and a symbol of their society's unity and strength. Andromeda was ravaged in 2035 and Proxima was completely destroyed after the Melanization, when Genesis came forth to fulfill millennia-old prophecies of revenge. The surviving Proximans left Andromeda and relocated into the multiverse.

## Overview

Andromeda has unique pieces of technology that the Milky Way does not have. For instance, the Amusement playbubble is a building primarily used in Proximan society to entertain their children. The bubbles are hosts to seaweed slides, bubble pits, and frequently exotic animals.

## History

Although Proximans have always had a reputation as peacekeepers, the first known instance of Proxima's maintenance of intergalactic peace was before they were even colonized, as many of their forerunners fought to prevent the Resometh, led by their lord Genesis, from using the Eye of Remembrance to judge the universe. The premature colonizers successfully put a stop to Genesis' campaign, with the surviving Resometh army retreating from Andromeda for nine millennia. They ended up destroying many Resomethean sanctums throughout the universe. In the following millennia, as they built a wealthy and indomitable society with the belief that an enforced peace was the most efficient way to maintain order, they also embraced their spiritual side by founding the Church of Oltron. Eventually, the entire galaxy came to be threatened by the Bony Rotsnare, a multi-dimensional being intent on distorting the fabric of reality. When Gita of the High Council of Oltron found out what he wanted, he challenged the eldritch abomination and won.

Nine thousand years after being thrown into stasis, Genesis awoke within a hideout used by the primordial overlord's devout followers. After being awoken, he wandered through the modern streets of a nearby world and encountered a girl named Wanda. After learning English as well as catching up on the historical advances mankind had made during his sleep, Genesis and his new friend left Andromeda and to find those Genesis could rally to his cause. Soon, he called on the rest of the Resometh, who were finally ready to invade Andromeda, consumed by vengeance and hellbent on burning everything to the ground. By infiltrating the exoplanet and planting several bombs directly in the exo-planetary core, several Resometh were able to ensure that Zilmoalara was completely obliterated. Proxima readied itself to defend Andromeda from the adversary. Battle commenced between the two sides, and while a fair number of Resometh were taken out, thousands of Proximans fell in number.

In the wake of the fallout from that battle, Andromeda was almost completely defenseless if Lord Genesis were to attack again. Hence, the galaxy was helpless when Genesis used the Eye of Remembrance to revert the universe to its previous state of darkness. Proxima was doing quite well with the new changes, yet Genesis was now free to set his sights directly upon them. Although the Allfather safely gathered and relocated as many people as he could find, Genesis stormed Proxima and personally struck the king dead. Proxima began to burn and particulate into the void.
