But, as Daedlus and Icarus learned in the stories ages older than you or I, Pride can easily become Hubris, and so it was the same for us. Our golden age, and it's days of glory, were numbered. From beyond the reaches of the solar system, the Warminds discovered some little signs, but they knew how to interpret them immediately. Something was approaching, something that spelled out doom.
It was at this moment that the Exodus project truly began, our great effort to try and save millions of people from certain annihilation. Millions were loaded onto colony ships, bound for destinations beyond the reach of the oncoming catastrophe. But, in spite of our best efforts, the Warmind's efforts, the submind's efforts, like Malahayati, it came too late.
As dozens of colony ships reached the edges of the asteroid belt, the Warmind directed their weapons towards the threat to thwart what was coming. The force so mighty swept through the system and spelled impending doom for everything it touched. It stripped every living thing of life, yet allowed it to hold onto their consciousness, making them watch upon the ones they love die before them. The ships that were broken in the process had formed a desolate and remote space around the asteroid belt, making the Reef. Millions died on board of the Colony Ships.
Rasputin, the first and most powerful Warmind, could only begin to comprehend what the force is. Not the many alien races that have taken over our diverse territories. No, this was a force stronger, that was able to bend and control the universe to it's will, much like the Traveler.
Our ultimate enemy..
What we would soon come to know as the Darkness..
