History of the Rosepetal Galaxy

A first draft of the history of the Rosepetal galaxy.

  • 3 821 000 Years Ago
    Akreian-Turai Contentions
    Population Migration / Travel

    As Akreian populations keep increasing at a fast pace, they begin to encroach on territories that the much less technologically advanced Turai have had much to themselves so far.   The treatment of their "lesser cousins" vary wildly between Akreian nations and cultures, but few consider them truly sapient. These could include attempts to conquer and subjugate, civilize and modernize, relocate/migrate, protect and conserve, or even exterminate the Turai.   Conflicts between the species become increasingly common, unfortunately resulting in a dwindling of the Turai's numbers.

  • 3 833 000 Years Ago
    Rise of Akreian Civilization
    Founding

    Archeological findings on Hextl show that the sapient Akreian began to form their first advanced civilizations by this point.

  • 3 950 000 Years Ago
    The Hezran Descendants
    Geological / environmental event

    Life is recovering after the ice age on Hextl.   The sapient Akreian (Regiusfelidensis Rubiregalumis) species emerge in the equatorial jungles, and the sapient Turai (Silenmustelensis Pharyngmaxis) species emerge in the northern boreal forests.   Both have been determined to be descended from the Hezran.

  • 3 990 000 Years Ago
    The First Hextlan Ice Age
    Geological / environmental event

    The planet of Hextl experiences its first ice age and it nearly wipes out all life on its surface.

  • 4 220 000 Years Ago
    Hezran emerge on Hextl
    Geological / environmental event

    The sapient Hezran (Regiusfelidensis Ramusmagnis) species emerge on the planet Hextl.

  • 4 500 000 Years Ago
    Vsurrok emerge on Klaxas
    Geological / environmental event

    The sapient Vsurrok (Manusgladiensis Regiualagladis) species emerge on the planet Klaxas.

  • 6 560 000 Years Ago
    Asicuna turns oceanic
    Geological / environmental event

    As there's evidence of terrestial lifeforms once existing on the planet Asicuna, it's likely to once have had major landmasses.   It's theorized that the planet's ice caps melted at one point for an unknown reason which caused a massive rise in water levels. All current landmasses likely fell below sea levels, and the islands dotting the planets surface today were probably formed long after this event.

  • 8 700 000 Years Ago
    Creation of The Axiom
    Construction beginning/end

    It's speculated that the first and only known sunshell, The Axiom, was built around this time. While it's known that the Cryslock inhabitated the starshell at one point it's unknown whether they are the architects of it or not.

    Maelstrom bisects the Rosepetal
    Metaphysical / Paranormal event

    The Maelstrom anomaly is thought to have grown to such a size that it bisected the Rosepetal by this point.

  • 2 058 000 000 Years Ago
    The Second Companion
    Celestial / Cosmic

    The Dragon's Eye Galaxy becomes the second companion of the Rosepetal Galaxy as it gets caught in the outer rim of its gravitational field. It slowly orbits the Rosepetal Galaxy even to this day.

    First Traces of Multicellular Life
    Celestial / Cosmic

    The first complex lifeforms are thought to have begun to form on some planets in the Rosepetal.

    Birth of the Skethas Galaxies
    Celestial / Cosmic

    The primary Skethas Galaxy is thought to have formed circa 3.6 billion years ago, followed by the secondary Skethas Galaxy circa 2.9 billion years ago.   Circa 2.7 billion years ago they're caught in each other's gravitational field and begin to orbit each other.

    First Traces of Life
    Celestial / Cosmic

    The first traces of simple life is thought to have started to develop on a few planets in the Rosepetal.

    Birth of the Maelstrom Anomaly
    Metaphysical / Paranormal event

    A strange phenomena of constantly rippling and rolling cloud of plasma and dust in scintillating angry magenta, red and yellow colors begins to form close to the Rosepetal's galactic center.
