Background Overview
If you read the GalacticNews thread, I bet you're wondering why my creature uses terms like "backdoor" or "Hyperlink" which are commonly used in the field of programming. It's also likely that you're thinking why the background is kinda Matrix-esque. Well, just like the people of Zion in The Matrix, the Terran-Ixans are also master programmers. Other than that, they have reached a level of ascension that is both similar and vastly different from that of the Naucean's ascension. They call their ascension ILLUMINATION. Much like the Communicants, they have mastered the art of Mathematics. But unlike the Communicants who mastered disjunction, they mastered a very different form of mathematical manipulation, programming.
It all began when the TI's(Terran-Ixians) were just a small servant race created by their masters. They served in an empire that their masters ruled, with an iron fist. They were extremely devout servants. They didn't question their master's orders may it be good or bad, because they saw no bad in destroying worlds and enslaving other races, as long as it was their master's orders.
This all changed when they were able to tap into the deeper secrets of the crystalline resource they and their masters used, Alkahest. The mysterious red crystals contained vast amounts of knowledge about life, the universe, and everything, it was a book waiting to be opened. And it was opened when a Moriadne, a certain TI was conducting some quality checks on some crystals. He accidentally fell into one of the holding tanks, that is when his body fused perfectly with the crystals, he suddenly gained the vast knowledge within the crystals, thus he was Illuminated. This is the first time that a TI was able to fuse perfectly with Alkahest. Previous events just killed the TI being fused with the crystal.
When their masters learned about this, they scrambled their forces in order to eliminate the compatible TI. They did not want the TI to learn the secrets of Alkahest, lest the TI's become a real threat to their rule. The TI's masters have known about the secrets of Alkahest long before Moriadne was illuminated. They tapped the knowledge within the crystals to establish their empire throughout their galaxy and beyond, far, far beyond to be exact. They created a "protection" program so that when an organism other than them gains the knowledge within Alkahest, said organism will suddenly die. This was not the case with Moriadne, however. They knew that if Moriadne gathers some followers and spreads the knowledge to them, the TI's will finally discover the universal law and realize that they were just being fooled into doing unlawful acts like enslaving other races. And he did just that, and with some help from the user he was able to fend off the first wave of attack units. Moriadne was then able to convince all the other TI's to join their cause in liberating other enslaved races. It was not long enough that the conflict finally reached the RP Galaxy.
