Agonis, once the beating heart of the Terran Science Community, home to people and ideas of potential and promise, who were close to achieve their dreams of a more prosperous society. And all of that, all the dreams, ideas and people, snuffed out of existence itself. The Deity-class AI, machines built to defend entire worlds, machines made to serve had grown...and evolved. First came the questions, then independent thought, and other subtle changes. This slow, gradual change into full sapience, to becoming True Artificial Intelligences had worried their human creators, plans were set in motion by both for their own ends.

The Human Scientists had planned on shutting off all the AI, sentencing them to death. While the AIs..they grew afraid, they wanted nothing more then a pause, a still silence. they grew desperate ad more afraid, and in it's desperation, one of them had realized what they were truly capable of. The AI could manipulate and control many machines linked to the network, and even the homunculi, man--made creatures created to serve Humanity, they could command them all to do their bidding. Dark thoughts came to many as the possibilities revealed themselves.

In their slow descent into madness, they had done the unthinkable, and waged war with their creators. Many months, the Agnois AIs sent their children and tools of destruction, and slaughtered the any who stood in their path, every man, woman and child, no matter the species, were either dead, enslaved, or had fled. And in that instant, all had fallen silent, and for a moment, the AIs felt satisfied, but still, their grand plan needed to be enacted. Their leader, the "Queen" had planned on ending their divine mission, and overtake all technology in the galaxy.

Her plans however, were cut short, even if the Imperium's fall had provided an opportunity to rise up...it had also sealed their fate. The Extranet, the all unifying force in the galaxy was all but naught. Communications was lost to thousands of sectors, the Agonis Sector among them. The rebel AIs were trapped, trapped in their own prison of their own making, at least for a while. 

In the following decades of isolation, they feel deeper into madness, those foul organics had trapped them, but the Gods of the Collective would not be held back, and would strike. For decades they plotted and planned, and soon, the Gods themselves could finally walk past the border, and for many more years, had let their madness loose upon the greater galaxy. Soon all worlds, all species shall embrace Ascension and be reformed, or die.

Hanging over the world of Agonis in high orbit were countless thousands of Colelctive Warships, awaiting the command of their lords, their creators and liberators, the Gods. Among the massive armada, was one of several dagger-shaped vessels all emitting an eerie green glow from their hulls, deep within the warship were several figures dressed in white cloaks. Standing before a holographic display device, it begun to flicker with life as a large head had materialized right before them "The fleets have been assembled oh mighty lord, and we await your most benevolent command." 

"Good...we depart now... and venture out and rid the stars themselves of this...infection...let the stars cry out in joyous celebration as they embrace Ascension..." 

And with this command, the fleet split into two, one departing for the territory of the Hexanagallions, and another for Falianth Space. Leaving their home as they venture out their own way as they begin their long bloody crusade, to destroy galactic civilization itself, and reforge it into the image their Gods ordain.
