Though it currently remains a mystery as to whether or not the Daisan Order is wholly synthetic behind their Droid armies, they would not be the first non-organic life to inhabit the Galaxy; that honor possibly goes to the Crodvan Unity, a stellar empire of synthetic lifeforms that live off the principles of industrial progress and efficient design. Having abruptly ceased their colonization efforts after a period of rapid expansion outwards from their capital planet of Ratvar, the Crodvan are reclusive isolationists that seek to build an efficient, machine-like state that's coming off the heels of their unknown creators.

[h3][b]History[/b][/h3]
Though the Unity itself has only existed for approximately four hundred years, the story of the Crodvan people is much, much longer. The Crodvan are a mechanical species engineered by an unknown civilization that has, for the lack of a better explanation, vanished. From what can be understood from archeological evidence and the inner-workings of the abandoned technology that makes up the Crodvan themselves, this lost civilization wasn't very prolific. Evidence of their existence was only found in the small region of space that we currently know today as the Unity's core worlds. This made it so that the Crodvan would be the first to investigate the marks left behind by their creators. It is presumed that pre-Unity Crodvan existed as a line of non-sapient service droids that tended to every aspect of their creator's society. Industry, military and infrastructure was almost entirely automated by these unthinking "worker-bots". It is evident that some event caused these creators to abandon their society, but there isn't any clear evidence on that front. What is clear is that Crodvan history began at the moment of the Njnxravat. 

The Njnxravat was a period of time in which Crodvan developed true synthetic consciousness. Rather than every unit suddenly becoming thinking, reasoning lifeforms at once, it was a grueling period that saw a bizarre contrast between the Awakened and the Sleeping. Vestiges of the Sleeping programming remained in the Awakened -- instinctual knowledge of a language known as Trne-Gnyx, and knowledge on how to do basic working tasks. The Unity wouldn't be founded for another 200 years, so these early Crodvan at this time would find themselves dealing with a state of nature. The Njnxravat was a period of exploration and enlightenment as it was a period of violence. Awakened formed small groups of like-minded individuals seeking protection from other groups of like-minded individuals. Exploration of Ratvar's surface led to disputes over land among the Awakened 'tribes'. These small conflicts turned into violent warfare. The Sleeping were treated as animals and were oftentimes hunted and deconstructed for spare parts. This eventually extended to captured Awakened as well. With no capability for breeding, the Crodvan as a race would be "extinct" within a decade or two. Three of the biggest societies to survive the Njnxravat were largely unnamed, but would eventually become the three main castes of the Unity. It's notable at Crodvan appeared drastically different in design between the three, and the smaller of the three great societies were known to house Crodvan that were naturally gifted with higher processing power and a greater capacity for reason. It was within this society that three Awakened Crodvan would receive a 'vision'. In literal terms, they would receive a massive packet of data networked directly to their Anima Cores' -- synthetic brains, essentially.

These three Crodvan are Nezbere, Sevtug, and Inath-neq -- founders of the Unity, prophets of the Yretchzan, destroyers of the Njnxravat, the first Primarchs, and the harbingers of the Ratvarrevat.

Nezbere, Sevtug and Inath-neq simultaneously received the same 'vision'. This 'vision' is known as the Tenets of Yretchzan. This packet of data was perceived by the prophets as an exhaustive list of concepts, ideas, and laws that seemed to have come from what the prophets understood as the creators of the Crodvan race. Though the three of them had never communicate or met within the society they lived in, an unseen force drew them together, and commanded them to speak.

And so they spoke. Each spoke with a different spin on what was encoded within the Yretchzan.

Nezbere preached about a concept called the 'Great Clockwork'. The Great Clockwork is the belief that Crodvan are designed to work. A Crodvan unit can only function at it's full potential if it is given a purpose. This purpose, Nezbere states, is to construct a state that would [color=f7941d][i]'stand against Time, and would turn only from a unified Crodvan. The Individual will not run this machine. The Individual is a cog within the Clockwork. The Clockwork will in turn run the Engine, from which this  rumbling Unity will run from."[/i][/color] The Great Clockwork was almost religious in a sense, and gained many followers across Ratvar as word spread about it -- particularly, it gained much traction with Crodvan that appeared to be designed for working.

Sevtug took to the philosopher society it had already been apart of, and spoke to it's fellow Crodvan about the importance of consensus and the segregation of society. The Yretchzan spoke that [i][color=f7941d]"The Anima is the envy of all who remain outside of the Clockwork. It is the greatest gift to the Crodvan. It is also the greatest weakness of the Crodvan. Thought is to be focused, and only through Consensus will the Clockwork run the Engine. The Engine must not blend the strengths of Crodvan despite this."

"The Working and The Fighting will be under The Thinking. The Thinking will oil this Engine. The Working will build and maintain the Engine's components. The Fighting will keep the Engine as a whole, and protect it from those outside the Clockwork."

"This will be the Unity."[/color][/i]

Sevtug gained many followers among the reasoning, thinking Crodvan of his society. There was a mutual agreement to sacrifice individuality for the formation of the efficient, rumbling Unity that the Yretchzan spoke of.

Inath-neq took the more militant Crodvan, and spoke of what the Yretchzan called the "Crodvan Imperative". It is said that [i][color=f7941d]"To run this Engine that will be our Unity, every action taken by the Working, Thinking and Fighting must be for the exclusive purpose of furthuring the Imperative of the Crodvan. Upon your creation, your ultimate purpose that will stand behind all other directives will be to create the perfect Unity, and to stand as the envy of those beyond the Engine. To disassociate with the Ignorant, and soon spread the gift of the Perfect Unity to all in this galaxy and beyond."[/color][/i]

The three ideologies that Nezbere, Sevtug and Inath-neq created would eventually merge. At this point, every Crodvan on Ratvar was sapient, and a significant percentage of that population followed the Tenets of Yretchzan, enough to cease many major conflicts going on at the time. Those who wished to oppose were eventually enticed by the Great Clockwork. This was the end of the Njnxravat.

A conference was organized by the three once their plan was nearing its final stage. Over a period lasting almost a year, the founders constructed the official laws of the Unity that they sought to create. An unnatural force beckoned every Crodvan to obey and wait patiently for their dream to come true.

And, so it did. Nezbere, Sevtug and Inath-neq officially declared themselves Primarchs, and the Guvaxvat Crbcyr, Svtugvat Crbcyr and Jbexvat Crbcyr were founded. These three castes were the Thinking, Fighting and Working. There were no conflicts or disputes. The Crodvans obeyed, and became apart of the Great Clockwork.

The Crodvan Unity was founded.

What followed this point would be known as the Ratvarrevat, a golden age in which the Unity built itself up from Ratvar to where it is today. This began with the institution of further sub-castes within the Jbexvat and the Svtugvat that would be designed to create new population within the Unity and control the population of each caste and each sub-caste, as well as a caste designed to enforce domestic law and ensure every Crodvan is doing as they should. The Unity stabilized itself marvelously after it's birth, with the population booming from mass production of new Crodvan. Technology was derived from Creator ruins and fragments found around Ratvar and the surrounding systems. The discovery of the Replicant Alloy and the Hierophant Network from these ruins allowed for mass industrialization, further advancement of the Crodvan's understanding of themselves, and the ability to rapidly exchange information and data across the entire Unity. Tapping into the secrets of the Anima Core allowed for greater diversity in Crodvan units, allowing for the founding of further sub-castes that then expanded the versatility of the Crodvan workforce, military and government. Exploiting their synthetic nature allowed for the Crodvan to rapidly colonize any solid planet they could find, and rapidly industrialize it, fracking it's core for minerals, minerals to forge Replicant Alloy and Anima Core's, and Replicant Alloy and Anima Core's, which would then go on to become new Crodvan that would then go off to expand and mine even further.

It is this cycle that gifted the Crodvan the ability to construct a truly perfect state. It has been four-hundred years since the Unity has been founded. It's now in it's fourth generation of Primarchs -- now having a council of at least five Primarchs. Many tiny aspects of the Crodvan hierarchy have been amended and changed over the years but the Yretchzan still stands as the ultimate mandate across all layers of power within the Unity. It's borders have expanded above and beyond the expectations of the founding Primarchs, and the state as a whole is a complex machine that has remained running for four centuries.

Yet, times are ever changing. Alien species and foreign powers have begun to prop up around the Crodvan, and rumors of a deep space menace have reached the attention of the Unity. Try as they might to isolate themselves from the rest of the galaxy, it is uncertain if the Unity will be able to abstain from the coming age of war any longer. The Great Clockwork slows, but will it stop? It is uncertain. 

But, by the words of the Yretchzan and the will of the Primarchs, the Crodvan remain adamant in their goal. . .

. . .to construct a truly Perfect Engine.
