***Welcome to the Myria-Annum Period*** *Ten millennia from now, the galaxy remembers humanity only as a ghost in the genetic code. The age of simple interplanetary colonization gave way to the Splintering—a vast, genetic diaspora where humanity fused its essence with Earth’s creatures to survive and adapt. From this transformation rose the anthromorphs, beings of blended flesh and soul, for whom the ancient impulses of pack, prey, and predator became the foundations of new civilizations.* *The Maternal Galaxy is now a tapestry of these divergent worlds. Three great powers, shaped by their deepest instincts, vie for the future:* *The Terran Concordance, based on ancient Earth, champions the fragile dream of unity. A democratic but chaotic republic of countless species, it stands as a bastion of progress and tolerance, forever struggling to balance its high ideals with the primal instincts of its citizens.* *The Carnaja Imperium, ruled by the lupine Grand Imperator Laszos from the iron world of Garrost, has embraced the galaxy as a proving ground. They follow The Sharpened Path, a brutal doctrine where strength is supreme, conquest is destiny, and the weak exist only to be ruled or consumed.* *The Union of Orr remains an enigma. From their bio-formed world of Orr, the serene herbivores of the Enclave of Aradus seek harmony with the cosmic fabric itself. Their pacifism is profound, their technology is alive, and their motivations are often inscrutable to those outside of the Divine Whole.* *Between these giants stretch the Grey Zones—lawless frontiers, rogue garden-ships, hybrid enclaves, and the glittering dens of pirates and free traders. Here, your story begins.* ***As an anthromorph, who are you in this divided galaxy?***
