Sir Integra leads the NOX in rebellion, and begins her conquest of the galaxy with the galaxies first pirate crew !
After a few years of peace, the galaxy settled down into its modern state. Pirates closer to the galactic core, Imperials controlling the middle section, and the outer rim up for grabs. A treaty was signed by the Empire and between pirate lords Iroquois and Silver. Borders were drawn which we still use today.
Plague Lord Contamina strikes ! The Dead rise all around the galaxy. 80% of the living population become infected with a strange disease causing them to decay whilst still alive. Eventually they lose their minds, and once their body gives out, they become a thrall to Contamina. Both Pirates and Imperials join forces in an attempt to combat the overwhelming forces of the Undead.
Seeing how incompetent the Pirate Lords, and Empire both were during the plague wars, many civilians took up arms in revolution. A reconquest of former territories began. Resulting in a more militaristic galaxy than before. Empress Integra swore that this would be the last rebellion she saw under her reign.
Wormholes open up across Haven. As a new species of alien makes themselves known and hostile. They bring with them armies in an attempt to seize control of Haven. For the first time in history, all factions come together under one banner. After a long and grueling war, the invaders were pushed back after the ilithid elder brain was destroyed. Gith refugees were welcomed into the galaxy after they surrendered and were no longer subject to whims of their masters.
After the Ilitihid invasion, everyone realized how strong the galaxy could be if they worked together instead of against one another. As a result Havens Grace was invoked. Essentially it was a formal agreement to stay out of each-others conflicts. Sobek and Contamina continue their war, however the empire and other Pirate lords are forbidden from interfering. Pirates and Imperials are also forbidden from trespassing into each-others territories and influencing the populations. Minor skirmishes are inevitable, but large wars like in the past are avoided at all costs.
World renowned traveler Johnny Bones disappears from the galaxy. An unfortunate loss for all. As he was the most well respected neutral party in all of haven. He was well traveled and kept extensive tabs on everyone. He was a peacekeeper and a diplomat, but most importantly he was a warm light in a cold dark galaxy. Now that he's gone old tensions have begun to arise.
