Description
Standing as a wall against the cybernetic monstrosities of the Remnant, the Border Realms are a loose alliance of empires united by the threat of extinction.
Their alliance, first conceived by a need for survival, has blossomed into something new.
A superpower in their own right, worthy of standing with the mightiest of civilizations.

It all began with the people of Ardon.

From the golden fields of Havull of the Ardon system, a race of saurian-mammals called the Kyruha rose as sentients and expanded across their world, building legacies that still effects the world of their descendants.
In the age of the Kyruha’s industrial revolution, a tribe of nomadic mystics chanced upon the wreckage of a old Sylo Defender warship: The Defiant shield.
Scouring through the ship’s data logs, the Kyruha discovered the rise and advancing Remnant threat to their planet.
Determined to save their race, the Kyruha, reverse-engineering the technology they had acquired from the Defiant shield, built a fleet of colony ships to
Scatter their people quickly across the stars, hoping that some would be hidden from the Remnant and survive.
This great exudes would divide the Kyruha into two ways of life: the nomadic spacers, constantly on the move to avoid becoming a target of dangerous xenos and the worlders, who believed strengthening their new homes could help give their people a chance against the coming storm.
As time passed, and no Remnant were sighted, the panic that gripped the Kyruha lessened, and the Kyruha started to reach out to each other, establishing trade and alliances with their distant brethren.
The fear was still there, but as the Kyruha grew, so did their confidence, and fear was turned into disciplined vigilance.
The expansion of this age was slow and calculated, with covert explorers sent to map out these new territories so not to be discovered by any that would wish them harm.
During one of their operations, a band of scouts found their first xeno civilization: the Etharki, a shattered people divided and at war with one another.
At first the Kyruha avoided the militant Etharki, but as news from distant worlds told of signs of possible Remnant forces began to reach them, they made a choice.
They approached the Etharki and offered an alliance.
The Etharki were shocked. Though their kind had once known and traded with the greater galaxy, their collapse had left them forgotten and isolated.
They treated the Kyruha with skepticism at first, but as the Kyruha told them of the Remnant and their quest to save their people, giving them the data logs that they had retrieved from the Defiant shield, The Etharki started to listen.
And as the Kyruha’s message was spread across the Etharki’s war torn worlds, many of the Etharki factions saw this as a chance to end their infighting and unite under a single union against a common threat.
The road to unification was a slow and aggravating process, with many provisional governments rising and falling as Etharki factions tried to place themselves on the top of the new union.
At last, the Modorin Republics was founded, uniting most of the Etharki under one banner, save for the most radical of the factions.
With this goal finally achieved, the new industrial might of the Etharki, blustered by the Sylo technology suppled by the Kyruha, began to arm their alliance.
Knowing from the logs of the Remnant’s military might, Etharki and Kyruha leaders adopted a gorilla Doctrine, With Kyruha spacers serving as hit and run soldiers and the Etharki backing them up with long range artillery.
Soon, the anticipated day arrived.
Scouts from the alliance had discovered the ruins of one of the Remnant’s many victims, a race of primates called the Midu-ari, wiped out millennia ago and whose crumbling cities served as a monument to the Remnant’s power.
And Though destroyed long ago, the remnant were slow in their colonization, preferring to colonize on mass and were only now building their foundries on these far flung worlds.
The alliance saw their chance and Attacked.
Remnant support fleets were annihilated on route to the new worlds, their technology and archives plundered and taken back to the alliance for study.
With this new Boone in intelligence about their enemy, the alliance’s incursions became more bold, driving deeper into Remnant territory.
Though slow in their response, the Remnant responded in force, pushing the alliance back.
To protect their worlds, all alliance ships would wipe their maps in case of capture, forcing the Remnant to actively seek them out instead. And though this did slow the Remnant considerably, the remnant were patient and worlds began to fall.
The war grew desperate. The alliance continued to bleed the remnant in lightning strikes but the Remnant was too large. Their salvation came when the distant Dahadorians attacked the Remnant’s northern border, forcing the Remnant to withdraw.
Brought to the brick of extermination, the Etharki and Kyruha were soon further ravaged by political strife.
In the case of the Kyruha, a ultra-right group arose, led by the guild master Tydan of the Dytan spacers, called for greater centralization of Kyruha power.
Many Kyruha leaders opposed this, seeing it as enslavement for their people, and war broke out. Tydan’s rebellion, though short to galactic standards, was a brutal affair that left even the Havull scarred.
In the aftermath of Tydan’s defeat, a new Kyruha identity was formed, and under the banner of their home system, they would be known as Ardonians.
Given new life, the alliance, using the Etharki’s old star maps, reached out again to the cosmos, seeking new allies.
They met many races and told them of their plight.
And though many were too far from the war front to effectively help, they agreed to supply the alliance, now known as the border realms, with technology and resources.
Now again at full strength, the Border realms launched a new offensive, and a new age of war began.
But something was amiss. Many Remnant forces that the realms had expected to face were gone.
At first the realms thought that the Dahadorians had invaded the remnant again, but as they listened in on Remnant and Dahadorian battle nets, they discovered that both were engaged with an unknown empire.
Curious about a race that was giving both these superpowers trouble, the realms followed a fleet of remnant to the new warzone.
There, they encountered the Terrans.
Bioengineered supersoldiers from the lost sol system, the Terrans had been hidden from the rest of the galaxy by Ultra storms that plagued their space, and only now being found.
Marveling at the Terran’s ability to fight the Remnant forces on even footing, the Realms quickly came to the Terran’s aid, destroying the Remnant fleet.
Communication was established and an alliance was afford.
The Terrans accepted and moved with their new allies against the remnant.
Many remnant systems fell to the realms onslaught and a new border was created, guarded by the highly militant Terrans.
With the threat of annihilation no longer hovering over their heads, the Border realm’s civilizations knew a golden age.
Worlds tormented by war were turned into paradises, and many citizens of the realms knew only peace.

At long last, the races of the Border Realms could not only survive, but live.
