Interloper (galaxy)

Overview
The Interloper galaxy is the main galaxy in the project. With a diameter of 1.2 million light-years and it's 30 galactic sectors, it is home to many civilizations and their colonies, such as the Ceyliko from the Leoporis system (now in the Federation), the philosophical Vorderrizians, the divided Humans and the hive-minded Savix'Qast.

History
Before you yell at Lumi, this is a simple summary. We're not going over 15.9 billion years of history in detail.

The galaxy was created 15.9 billion years ago, but only around 2 billion years ago did the galaxy ever enter any major form of civilization with the rise of the Vorderrizi on Ryloth. The technophilic, avian society colonized the first sector which was known as the Vorderrizian Grand Empire. This was called the galactic Age of Smoke.

The colonists thrived and expanded to encompass three sectors of the galaxy before the rise of the Galactic Age of Man, which had the small sized Human race grow to become the dominant in the galaxy. The species of Vorderrizians began to weaken in the Age of Man.

In the Age of Fire, man waged war across the cosmos and the Vorderrizians were pushed back. At this time, the ever-consuming Savix'Qast Hive Mind, and the Imperium of Man were dominating the galaxy.

The Leoporis-Oculus Galactic Confederacy was formed eventually, creating the Galactic Congress as well, made up of some Human minorities, Oculons and Ceyliko. After a course of multiple wars the Terran Federation broke off from the Imperium of Man.

This bird species is important for a reason. Vorderrizians and Humans have had a natural dislike to eachother. Vorderrizians claim that the Humans stole from them and are the bane of their existence, while Humans claim Vorderrizians are a threat. In the Imperium-Vorderrizia war, the Imperium lost a large sum of land to the Vorderrizians, which has sparked a new level of nationalism in the Imperium to "destroy the birds" and regain their rightful claims. Sometime after the war, the Vorderrizian Grand Empire was destroyed, and was reorganized into the Vorderrizian Serenity, with a more spiritual government under Veltassa den Iridar, a prominent zealot who lead a religious uprising to create a theocratic-like state.

Current State
The galaxy is growing and is diverse, home to many important civilizations. However, tension is very high.
