![]() Three thousand years go by, the Taiidan take over large parts of the galaxy, and the first couple games happen. The Hiigarans were instead exiled, and secretly smuggled the core and guidestone away with them (the destruction of the flagship was a contingency planned in advance, they knew where to look for the core). When they reached Hiigara, the galaxy finally woke up and begged him to stop the slaughter. Meanwhile, the Taiidan border defense fleet (commanded by Admiral Reisstu) seeing the Hiigaran fleet wiped out, invaded and either conquered or destroyed every planet along the way. The Bentusi won, but rather than surrender, the Hiigaran flag ship was flown into the planet's moon, destroying it, and presumably the core. This was just a feint, however, and they attacked when the Bentusi arrived. The Hiigarans decided they would only give the core up to the Bentusi. ![]() Expecting the galactic council (formed in the aftermath of the wars) to take its usual long-assed time to make a decision, they were surprised when the council immediately demanded they withdraw from the conquered systems and surrender the core. Realizing it's potential, they built up a new fleet, sailed past the Taiidan border defenses to the capital, glassed it, then moved in to take the disputed territories. Among these were the Hiigarans, and the Taiidan, who ended up neighbors, and in dispute over various border systems. When the dust settled, several empires had been formed. The Bentusi only had 1 fleet, and couldn't be everywhere at once. Various peoples grew to resent this, and eventually a series of wars erupted more or less at once. The Bentusi used their tech to establish trade routes and kept the peace between the various peoples of the galaxy. The three cores are more powerful than the regular hyperspace engines most people use, and are called Far Jumpers because they can cross the galaxy very quickly. So it started many thousands of years before the games, when the Bentusi found the first hyperdrive core.
