"Just as it has always been, when our memories of the ancient world fade into twilight, a new era dawns to fill the void; an unfamiliar path with a pulse of its own, a tempo not dictated by the labor of men, but accelerated by the rhythm of machines, launching the world into an age of bold innovation. From this cauldron of steel and sweat, a vision of prosperity emerged; harnessing the untold power of the elements, turning night into day, creating new designs that brought the world's stage to the masses and providing an experience that many had never imagined. The advent of mechanized warfare brought devastation like none the world had ever seen, providing a window of opportunity for some to dictate conformity as regimes spread their ideologies with a heavy hand, inciting the world to the brink of war. And yet, some chose a different path and, through their vision, brought unique prospectives to the world. As singular proponents of free thinking remained striving for peace in their endeavors to unlock the secrets of the universe—some of which, would fill our hearts with fear and regret. And as this progress unfolds, the finite nature of our world becomes clear; our survival, the survival of all the world's peoples, depends on our ability to coexist in peace, but this peace is tenuous. Although mankind will always look onward, yearning for more, searching for new boundaries, only to break through them, with the understanding that this world is one, in which, we all share, comes the responsibility of knowing that the decisions you make today will have a lasting impact on the generations of tomorrow." — William Morgan Sheppard - CIV V Intro - August 24, 1932 -> January 6, 2019.

Unlike the other Kiithid, the Gaalsien managed to preserve a significant part of Hiigaran history through a stone mural. This mural contains essential information about Hiigara, their original homeworld, their defeat at the hands of the Taiidan, their exile, the origins of their species, the arrival at Kharak, and most crucially, the Taiidan treaty that prohibited the development of FTL technology. Notably, the Gaalsien symbol is more prominently featured on this mural compared to other Kiithid, hinting that they might have been leaders during the time of Khar-Toba. Following years of conflict on Kharak, including open warfare between Kiith Gaalsien and the other Kiith, an agreement was finally reached. The Gaalsien relented on their insistence of blasphemy to return to space, risking the anger of the now mysterious Taiidan and the god-like figure, Sajuuk. All Kiith united in their quest to reclaim a place on the galactic stage. Nevertheless, some individuals still fear that venturing back into space will incur the wrath of Sajuuk upon us all...

Notes: Tone Exiled to Kharak aboard the Khar-Toba, alongside those of kiith S'jet, Somtaaw, Manaan, Paktu, Soban, and Naabal. Unlike the other Kiithid, the Gaalsien managed to preserve a significant part of Hiigaran history through a stone mural. This mural contains essential information about Hiigara, their original homeworld, their defeat at the hands of the Taiidan, their exile, the origins of their species, the arrival at Kharak, and most crucially, the Taiidan treaty that prohibited the development of FTL technology. Notably, the Gaalsien symbol is more prominently featured on this mural compared to other Kiithid, hinting that they might have been leaders during the time of Khar-Toba. Following years of conflict on Kharak, including open warfare between Kiith Gaalsien and the other Kiith, an agreement was finally reached. The Gaalsien relented on their insistence of blasphemy to return to space, risking the anger of the now mysterious Taiidan and the god-like figure, Sajuuk. All Kiith united in their quest to reclaim a place on the galactic stage. Nevertheless, some individuals still fear that venturing back into space will incur the wrath of Sajuuk upon us all...

By selection of a community poll the next game I will be hosting an event for is... STELLARIS! The event will start after the 1st main on Sunday where we will then gather in one of the game rooms or a temporary room if it can be acquired. Once everyone is gathered we will start a game of STELLARIS and play until completion or until we wish to move on to another game which will then be decided by the group. As always if you do not know what this game is but are interested in playing I have included a link to the games steam pages below. STELLARIS: https://store.steampowered.com/app/281990/Stellaris/

"Just as it has always been, when our memories of the ancient world fade into twilight, a new era dawns to fill the void; an unfamiliar path with a pulse of its own, a tempo not dictated by the labor of men, but accelerated by the rhythm of machines, launching the world into an age of bold innovation. From this cauldron of steel and sweat, a vision of prosperity emerged; harnessing the untold power of the elements, turning night into day, creating new designs that brought the world's stage to the masses and providing an experience that many had never imagined. The advent of mechanized warfare brought devastation like none the world had ever seen, providing a window of opportunity for some to dictate conformity as regimes spread their ideologies with a heavy hand, inciting the world to the brink of war. And yet, some chose a different path and, through their vision, brought unique prospectives to the world. As singular proponents of free thinking remained striving for peace in their endeavors to unlock the secrets of the universe—some of which, would fill our hearts with fear and regret. And as this progress unfolds, the finite nature of our world becomes clear; our survival, the survival of all the world's peoples, depends on our ability to coexist in peace, but this peace is tenuous. Although mankind will always look onward, yearning for more, searching for new boundaries, only to break through them, with the understanding that this world is one, in which, we all share, comes the responsibility of knowing that the decisions you make today will have a lasting impact on the generations of tomorrow." — William Morgan Sheppard - CIV V Intro - August 24, 1932 -> January 6, 2019.
