prehistory

the well-known universe is peacefully united in the intergalactic Commonwealth, protected by its space fleet, the honour guard. But for years mischief already announces itself. Only with trouble the Magog could be repelled, and the peace treaty of Antares, in which the Commonwealth peace with the Magog closed, tunes the Nietzscheaner dissatisfied.

Here the action begins.

pilot sequence

DylanHunt, the Captain of the flagship Andromeda Ascendant, a heavy cruiser of the Glorious Heritage class, is called to an emergency. The black hole in the Hephaistos system is to expand and threatens everything to destroy. But when the Andromeda arrives there, it looks itself an enormous Armadaopposite several thousand nietzscheanischen ships, which open the fire immediately. Hunt sees the only possibility in evacuating the ship and of making a daring escape attempt under utilization of the gravitation of the black hole, since a fight would be offering no prospects. Its first officer, Gaheris Rhade, a Nietzscheaner,betrays it however, and during a duel on the bridge the Andromeda drives off into the Ereignishorizont of the singularity and in the time is frozen.

300 years later nothing more is remaining from the gloss of the Commonwealth after a bloody civil war. Technology and society are farback-thrown.

The salvage vessel Eureka Maru under the command of Captain Beka Valentine saves the Andromeda on behalf the rogue Gerentex, in order particularly to sell it, and their superior weapon systems. After Katz and Maus-Spiel with the crew of the Eureka Maru as well as with a mercenary troopunder the command of Tyr Anasazi succeeds it to Dylan Hunt to pull the Maru crew and Tyr on his side after Gerentex would have almost killed it. (Quotation Gerentex: “If I the Andromeda to have cannot… THEN ALSO NOBODY OTHERWISE! “)

the mission

contentsthe series is the attempt Dylan Hunts to establish the interstellar Commonwealth again. Many opponents place themselves to it into the way.

races of the Konsensus

consists

  • races and groupings [work on] of infinitely many electronic parts and Weltraumschrott,in the course of the years developed a kind of consciousness and own will. There is no leader in the sense, since each part with every other part can be combined, in order to form new Entitäten. The “members” of the Konsensus do not have a fixed form, therethey depending upon the requirements of the situation to a Entität join themselves, from the heavy battle cruiser to the humanoiden Androiden. After the fulfilment of their order these divide themselves again into their individual parts. In the Konsensus it came to conflicts, after itself some parts after fulfilment of its missionrefused dividing itself again.
  • The Magog is a wild horde/hurdle of primitive natures, which in its just as primitive spaceships and on board an enormous, artificial planet system , by the universe and put their eggs drive world ship to which into feeling natures. In such a way infected sufferan painful death. The Magog the huldigen spirit of the Abyss, an energy organization.
  • The Nietzscheaner (homo sapiens invictus) resulted from genetic change of human DNS, which brought larger, stronger, faster and more intelligent humans out, who are immune to the most diseases and poisons and under extreme conditionsto survive can. They should be living Gods, outstanding spirit in science, art and poetry. The creator of this race is a human Genetiker Paul Museveni, who created the first Nietzschenaner, on the Ayn edge station created by him Drago Museveni. The Nietzscheaner hangs thatTheories of the German philosopher Friedrich Nietz on. After the Nietzscheaner had placed itself against the Commonwealth and had driven it into the civil war, which led to its fall, the nietzscheanischen trunks began to fight each other mutually which continues until today. These wars led to the extinction of manysmaller trunks and the more powerful ones bind like the Drago Kazov or the Jaguar in always-lasting border conflicts. However the legend holds itself that a daily the master father Drago Museveni is again-born by genetic Reinkarnation, in order to collect the trunks to one and around itself. Striving thatNietzscheaner after physical and genetic perfection leads to the fact that nietzscheanische women select their partners on the basis of genetic criteria and in many trunks unfruchtbare or handicapped children after the birth is killed.
    Outwardly the Nietzscheaner sees normal humans very similar, it is however under normal conditions larger andmore strongly and generally relatively well looking. A characteristic characteristic are in each case three bone blade, which are used from the lower arm scarcely over-half the wrist to grow and as weapons.
    The Nietzscheaner has as “genetic superhumans” a large similarity with the Morthans (more than humans) from thatNovels by Robert Hewitt wolf.
  • The Perseiden was distributed an important support of administration as from research and teachings in the Commonwealth and as such in the entire universe. During the civil war the by nature pazifistischen Perseiden pulled itself on its homeland world Ugroth as well as some fewother planets such as Sinti or Sparborth back, which increased the chaos outside of its Zufluchten substantially. Outwardly Perseiden are astonishing manlike, have however grey skin, no main hair as well as a pronounced, verknöchertes chin. Because of this similarity they were it also, those from the Commonwealth for the first contact toohumans were selected.
  • The Pyrianer is a race of Methanatmern, which live on the whole with the Sauerstoffatmern in peace, since around the respectively habitable worlds no competition exists. During the times of the first Commonwealth peace treaties with the Pyrianern had been negotiated, thosea further durable peace to guarantee should. To the present Treaties the Pyrianer felt no longer bound for the case of the Commonwealth, it began to make individual worlds for itself habitable. The Pyrianer, whose ships were equal already the long night ago those the honour guard,the times of the chaos used to develop their technologies further.
  • The Than Tre Kull is a insektoide race, which progressed technologically however far. Their society is divided into a box system, which is indicated from birth by the color of the tank. There the Than their eggs collectivelyand to thousand in large caves placings, one can say afterwards no more which Than from which descends, why always the descendants of a clutch of eggs in quasi-families solidarize. To these also different, can be taken up even humans. The Than is the only well-known race, whichindependently of the Vedranern developed a Slipstreamantrieb.
  • The Vedraner, which comes from the planet camouflage Vedra, is the founders of the intergalactic Commonwealth. The vedranische society is matriarchalisch organized, since the females are more intelligent. Since the number of male Vedraner is five times higherwhen those holds itself the female ones, a woman usually several men, whereby in each case dominant factor has the male the right for mating. For this reason the head of the Commonwealth was the empress von Tarn Vedra, although power in the hands of the people of a selectedGovernment lay. The Vedraner resembles outward the Zentauren of the Greek mythology, with one manlike torso and four legs. However are their skin and their blood of blue color, and they do not have any skin. They are considered as the first discoverers of the Slipstreams, which offers the possibilitygigantic distances in relatively short time to bridge and develop such an enormous Imperium, which formed the basis for the later Commonwealth.

groupings

  • the Restorianer are Ökoterroristen, which see the cause for all problems in the well-known universe in manned space travel.Kommandiert will it of a revved up artificial intelligence of the honour guard, the balance OF Judgement (represented of star gate - actors Michael Shanks)
  • the knights of the genetic purity are humans progressed technologically far to extinguish thereafter the trachten all genetically changed human natures and in particular the Nietzscheaner thereit it for the case of the Commonwealth and the long night following on it make responsible. They are a group of fragments of the Templer, an elite troop of soldiers after the case of the honour guard around admiral Constanza Starck formed themselves and in the course of the centuriesever more against the Nietzscheaner radicalized.

the Nietzscheani trunks

the race of the Nietzscheaner is again divided into different rivaling trunks.

  • The Drago Khazov is the largest and most powerful nietzscheanische trunk, which carries a majority of the responsibility for the fall of the Commonwealth. They orderover one of the largest fleets in the well-known universe, with that them their sphere of influence and its numerous slave planets (under it the earth) those
  • control for Sabra Jaguar came out from the combination of the trunks of the Sabra and the Jaguar, which was operated among other things by Captain Hunt, around thatTo be able to set against Drago Khazov a powerful opponent. The military the Sabra Jaguar is comparable with that the Drago Khazov.
  • The Kodiak is a trunk extinguished with the exception of two survivors, at times of its existence the Gebeine of the master father Drago Musseveni was entrusted to which. The trunk became by oneBetrayal of the Drago Khazov destroys.
  • The Orca is Nomaden and Piraten, which submit ships preferentially on Asteroiden and from there out attacked.
