The Long Night
After millennia of prosperity, the Systems Commonwealth had fallen in ashes. Instead of a Nietzschean Empire, chaos reigned, the leading Nietzschean Prides turned on each other, reducing most of the Nietzschean Prides to a shadow of their former glory.
Months after the Battle of Witchhead, the aggressive race of the Magog invaded once again, this time in much greater numbers, and wiped away the last remaining struts of the Commonwealth. They even annihilated nearly all of planet Earth's human population.
With the chaos that spread throughout the Known Worlds, a remaining Commonwealth officer, Admiral Constanza Stark, formed an organization named the Knights Templar, a group dedicated to stopping the aggressive Nietzscheans from conquering the entire universe. Unfortunately, the Knights Templar soon split into two groups, one of them would later be known as the infamous Genites.

Famous quotes containing the words long and/or night:
“In the eighth, Hermanski smashed a drive to the scoreboard. Henrich backed against the board and leaped either four or fourteen feet into the air. He stayed aloft so long he looked like an empty uniform hanging in its locker. When he came down he had the ball.”
—Walter Wellesley (Red)
“That night your great guns, unawares,
Shook all our coffins as we lay,
And broke the chancel window-squares,
We thought it was the Judgment-day”
—Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
