The Origins of the Azura't'oris
Many think that the chronicles of the
Azura't'oris galaxy take place in our time... or even in the past,
but in all actuality they take place in the future.
In the year 3021, humans have conquered the outer regions of space
but still considered earth to be home. However, humanity's warlike
ways and careless squandering of earth's resources had caused earth
to be virtually uninhabitable. Plague spread throughout the land,
killing most of the earth's population. The remaining humans set out
in the blackness of space to find a new home. After years of
searching, they came across a newly formed galaxy. It was completely
unspoiled by sentient beings. It seemed like a paradise.
Humans attempted to make some of the planets in this galaxy livable,
but the planets were young and their atmospheres unstable.
Terraforming these planets was a complete failure and humans slowly
died out.
One billion years passed.
The galaxy began to flourish, the planets in the galaxy stabilized
and life began to form. The humans the had previously inhabited the
galaxy had given the life a gentle nudge in evolution, explaining
why many of the galaxy's new creatures had human (or four-legged
animal) type bodies. During the next billion years, these beings
evolved. Many into sentient beings.
The Space Born, the most ancient and wise race in the galaxy gave
the galaxy the name "Azura'T'Oris" which roughly translates to
"Wheel With Blue Spokes" because of the galaxy's rich blue color and
spirial shape. This is also how it earned it's nickname "The Azure
Wheel".
All that remains of humanity as we know them are the ruins of
destroyed space ships overlooking the planet of Ghaor, in the Shyass
Point System. The Azure Wheel's current inhabitants can only wonder
who this ancient race that came before them was.
