For millennia, the galaxy has trembled beneath the march of the Scandinoids—a relentless civilisation of war‑bred cyborgs forged for conquest, obedience, and expansion. Their empire spans star systems, their fleets blot out suns, and their doctrine tolerates no rivals. To the Scandinoids, victory is destiny, and resistance is an error to be corrected.
Once, they had an equal.
Long before recorded history, the Eonoids shared their bloodline—two branches of a forgotten progenitor species, divided by ancient catastrophe and shaped by radically different paths. While the Scandinoids embraced augmentation and domination, the Eonoids evolved toward harmony, longevity, and the quiet mastery of living worlds. Their kinship faded into myth, then into silence, and finally into hatred.
The war between them has raged for ages beyond memory.
Worlds have burned. Civilisations have vanished. Entire star clusters bear the scars of their conflict.
Now, the Eonoids stand on the brink of extinction.
Their once‑vast civilisation has collapsed into scattered embers—hidden colonies drifting in the far reaches of the galaxy, surviving through secrecy, ingenuity, and the faint hope that their ancient enemy might one day falter. The Scandinoid Empire believes the war is effectively won. The Eonoids know better. They know that survival itself is resistance.
