Timeline From 2.6 billion B.C. till 2178 A.D. About 2.6 billion years ago, the Oderons came to the Kronos system by an asteroid, which hit Tentaal. Tentaal was a moon with sea, dessert and also a more friendly environment. The one-cell organism grew in the sea and evolved into a more complex being over time. They became aware of the position of their moon in the Kronos system and developed this vision in their space-age. Without any threats from outside, they were able to evolve calmly to become the superior being on their moon and finally of the entire Kronos system. No other life was discovered in the entire Kronos system. Although they did not discover any life, they decided not to interfere with other life forms in the future as long as they became no threat towards their existence. 1.6 billion years ago the Kronos system was bombarded by a huge asteroid storm. All planets were hit by this bombardment and many Oderons died during this 1-year long asteroid storm. Although this storm destroyed much life, it also created life. The Xirnions, Perzikians, Ziwama's and the Helmo's were evolving out of the living organisms inside the asteroids, which were brought to this system by the asteroid rain. The Oderons noticed the development of these new beings, but decided not to interfere and just wait and sea. The Oderons were a much more advanced species now and were looking for other solar systems as well and had expeditions in the near vicinity of the Kronos system. About 1 billion years ago, the Oderons noticed the development of the Xirnions and were afraid to interfere as they became able to engage space. This worried them and they were monitoring this development more closely. Aamong the Oderons a clear distinction became clear. The Oderons were developing into two kinds of beings. A group of Oderons were evolving into a being, which was pure energy, the other kind remained materialized and kept on evolving in this way. Because the two kinds realized that they came from the same ancestors, and many families experienced a dematerialisation of their children, they did not fight each other. Moreover, they realized that they needed each other. One of the Energy life forms, was responsible for a treaty between the two kinds of beings, although he seemed like many other energy Oderons, he was different, because he was not decadent and made no difference in valuing beings. He spoke: I do not say we are equal, we are not equal, we should not be equal and we will not be equal. Saying that beings are equal and should be treated equaly is an absurd point of view; instead we should value our differences and use them to our advantage. He developed a plan and called it: "Enlightment". The Oderons perceived him as their god. He was able to bring the two races together and created a plan for the sake of other beings. The thought behind the plan was that other life forms that were able to think have a good and bad nature. Some beings are more tending to bad and others are more tending to good. However among the races there are also distinctions among individuals. The idea was to help young races to develop themselves in a positive way in the hope that the good would win from the evil in the end. Although there were many Oderons criticizing this plan, because they did not believe in good and bad, the god of the Oderons replied by saying that this was only an excuse for those individuals to behave immorally. In order to help younger races to develop towards good and enlightened beings he spoke telepathically to certain individuals on a planet and told them he was their god and he made basic rules of how people should behave. This had a positive effect on certain individuals and even on whole races. The Helmo's became the most successful project and after the Oderon god was convinced that they were up to it, he invited them to their home planet. That is why the Helmo's and the Oderons have a very close relationship, although this is hidden very carefully. The Helmo's lived peacefully together without any wars and were making an effort to make a difference for the rest of the galaxy together with the Oderons. The Helmo's build a Statue for the Oderon god and worshipped it on many occasions in gratitude for their Enlightment. The other Oderons were very impressed by this achievement and decided to build a Statue on Tentaal as well. This Statue is still situated on Tentaal, although it has been heavily bombed in the wars that followed. The Oderon god made a decision, he said: "When people make a Statue of me it does not make sense that I am present in this system, I shall leave to other systems and will spread "Enlightment" outside this system in the hope that it can help other beings to follow the path of light. The Oderons grieved on his decision to leave, but were destined to follow his plan. Although the plan succeeded with the Helmo's, the Xirnions were hardly being influenced as were the Perzikians. The Ziwama's did not follow the plan either, but were morally conscious from themselves. They wanted to create beings for themselves. About 600 Million years ago the last asteroid storm took place. Again planets were bombarded by asteroids. Species like the Coffers, the Coconanos and the Cuftons were created after this bombardment. From those new ones the Coffers were an excellent species for the Oderons, because they were a race that needed strong moral leadership. The asteroid bombardment weakened many races and the Xirnions made use of this as an opportunity to expand their territory. The First Interracial War began and was between the Perzikians and the Xirnions. The Oderons did not interfere, as none of the two races were influenced by the Enlightment and therefore doomed anyway. The Oderons believed in an after-life that could only be reached by living your life to moral universal rules. The war between the two ended up in a truce between the two races. The Xirnions realized that the Perzikians were too strong to be qualified as an easy prey. Therefore they invaded the Coffer home world. Many Coffers were killed and the Oderons decided to interfere this time. They attacked the Xirnions, not only on the home world of the Coffers, they also went for all the colonies of the Xirnions. They only left the Xirnion home world for them and warned them, never again to interfere with races under the protection of the light. About 560 million years ago, the Oderons were hailed by their Oderon god. As the Oderon god was an energy being he needed physical beings to help. The Oderon god was able to communicate with the other Oderons by sending information to the Helmo home planet. The Statue functioned not only as a place of worshipping, but was a secret communication device as well. The Oderons decided to leave this system. They did give enlightened races additional technology to withstand the threat of evil races. Additionally they decided to start an empire on the Coffer home world: Coffer Empire. The Coffers gladly accepted the offer of the Oderons as they already worshipped the god of the Oderons. This was the only planet where an alien was an emperor of a whole race and without any objections. The Emperor and his family were going to be the last Oderons in the universe. The home world: Tentaal was deserted as it was. The Emperor decided never to speak about him being an Oderon, as this could be dangerous. The Coconanos were a race that grew up in a constant threat of war and realized they needed to be flexible to survive; therefore they wandered as pirates through space and did not mention anyone but the Emperor on Coffer Empire about the existence of their home planet as this would make them very vulnerable. The Oderons were joined with their Oderon god and he saw that a certain group of individuals were under a negative influence. He made sure that this group was deserted on a planet underway. This group now called the Wanderers wanted revenge because of this desert and were able to return to the Kronos system. They wanted to create chaos in the Kronos system. When the Wanderers returned many wars followed. The Wanderers made their home base on Stemlar, where they made plans to spread their "Plan of Chaos". The Ziwama's had their own plans; they send sponge-like creatures to a nearby planet, now called Cassian Prime. These creatures ascended to Cassians. 40 million years ago, the situation in the Kronos system worsened with the coming of the Bristalics and the Prismo's. The Bristalics were a ruthless race, which went for Coffer Empire to enslave the entire Coffer civilization. They were able to create a group of races called: The Dark Syndicate (TDS). Part of this alliance were the Xirnions, the Perzikians a delegation of the Wanderers, which provided TDS with additional technology. After influencing Prismo politics, which caused a Civil War, they made the Prismo's also part of TDS. Together the races of TDS were much stronger than the other races and they were forced to create an alliance for themselves. They plainly called it "The Alliance". Some of the older Wanderers remembered that the Oderons found a system with 9 planets on which contained several life forms. As TDS was strong enough to deal with the remaining races in the Kronos system themselves, they left to spread their "Plan of Chaos" in another system, our Solar system. The Wanderers left about 2 Million years ago. They found planet Earth and saw that it developed life in a friendly environment; they waited to interfere until the species were able to think themselves. About 50,000 years ago they decided to interfere with the course of life on earth. At that moment the dominant race was the Homo Homo Neanderthalensis. Only a few of them survived the arrival of this new superior being and mingled with these new comers. Instead of the Neanderthalers being a failed link of the development of the human race, it is the final product of earth beings, the human race are ancestors of the Wanderers and therefore of the Oderons. This is why the DNA of the human race and the Neanderthalers do not compare that much, as they are from different planets. Later on, the Wanderers mingled in history again and helped the Roman Empire to become a fact in the history of the human race. The Romans spoke Latin just as the Oderons did in the past. In the human history they were involved in many other events like the communist revolution and the development of Socialism in Europe, which was a more popular name for communism. Free Market Economy would help people to think in a creative way and this could be a threat for the Wanders, they liked to centralise power instead. Communism thought that religion was the opium of the people and decided that religion should be bannished, therefore the communists made punishment and enslavement the opium of the people and the socialists made Money the opium of the people. When people would only be busy consuming products they were less bound to think long-term and more critical towards the government. Furthermore the Wanderers helped a group called the Amazemikes">Amazemikes to seize power in the US. The Wanders succeeded in creating a violent race, which was able do terrible things to each other, but they did not succeed in destroying the good side from all of them, that is why there are also many good people on Earth who fight for justice. In the Kronos system, TDS succeeded in capturing many planets and got rid of the Perzikians 10,000 years ago to make use of a New Weapon Supplier, the Cuftons. Some of the Wanderers informed the Bristalics about their progress in the Solar system and explained them about the problems they had in exterminating the goodness out of the nature of the humans. 4,000 years ago, the Bristalics left the Kronos system to Find The Oderons. They realized that the combined "Plan of Chaos" could never work, when there would still be the Oderon threat. The Xirnions were given all technology and knowledge to finish the job in the Kronos system. TDS was spreading across the Kronos system rapidly. Although The Alliance fought bravely, they could not withhold TDS from destroying the Ziwama home planet on Doomsday (3rd of February 2158 A.D.). Before the Ziwama's were extinct they gave some valuable technology to the Cassians as well as some additional orders. The Ziwama's encountered a strange object in space in 2020 A.D. It contained a Golden Plate and must have belonged to another species. Listening to the contents of this Golden Plate, they figured that this life form must be friendlier than other members of TDS. They instructed the Cassians that if they would encounter this species, they should welcome them in a friendly manner and offer them access to The Alliance. These beings could be the last hope of The Alliance. The Ziwama's were extinct without the Cassians even knowing that the Ziwama's actually created the Cassians. With the Ziwama's gone, the Cassians were the only active member of The Alliance and although they still had their 3 colonies, the situation seemed pretty hopeless. On Earth the Amazemikes were the "Dukes of Chaos". The Wanderers had left the back side of the moon for another voyage towards more distant systems. They were convinced that the Amazemikes would be able to destroy all human life on Earth. The development of the Human race was a failed project and should be finished accordingly. When the Wanderers send their first humans to Earth, they instructed the first of them not to tell their children about it. This was done to see if evil would spread in a more natural way instead of enforcement. Children of these first ones were raised without knowing where they came from. The Amazemike regime bombed the Third World to solve the problem of poverty on this continent and bombed Europe and the rest of the civilized world. However, they did not believe it would be possible for the Europeans to leave the planet alive and escape somewhere else. When they realized this, they were destined to follow them and make sure they would not spread across the galaxy as the Wanderers warned them not to let them escape from the planet. When the Europeans came to Cassian Prime they were the new hope for the Cassians and this is how the story begins. The human-like beings on Coffer Empire are explained by the humans being ancestors from the Wanderers and therefore from the Oderons. Footnotes Amazemikes The Amazemikes are a project of the Wanderers. The United States was a strong but relatively peaceful country. They played a major role in the history of human kind. However they had problems adapting to the new major player in the world economy: China. Just as the Europeans, Socialism was fested in its country. Although Socialism seemed to be a system, which could be justified, because it took care of the weaker ones, it seemed that it worked out negatively. By investing in weaker people, the whole economy weakened and it was investing in even more inefficiency. This even lead to the First Space War between China and the US. As the economy weakened people became disgruntled and this was the perfect climate for the Wanderers to interfere with the national politics. They enforced a major military group who proclaimed that only national rights would be favoured. Foreign products, for example from China were banned and were domestically produced. The Amazemikes stormed the white house and the coup was successful due to the Wanderer's interference. The ongoing protectionist measures were catastrophic for the US Economy. Many investors fled to Europe. The Amazemikes bombed the Third World and after a certain moment they began spreading their warfare projects to Europe and other countries. The ultimate goal of the Amazemikes was to destroy all life on earth as they were instructed by the Wanderers. After the Europeans left Earth, the Amazemikes were destined to follow them and destroy the last remnants of Earthlings. Bristalics When the Bristalics came to the Kronos system together with the Prismo's 40 million years ago, nobody knew where they came from. Bristalics come from a system far from the Kronos system. Although the Bristalics and the Prismo's arrived at about the same time, they were not companions. The Prismo's followed the Bristalics in their tour to the Kronos system. The Bristalics and Prismo's both come from a system, which is much more violent than the Kronos system. The Prismo's are the most peaceful creatures who lived in this system. Cassians The Cassians are a product of a Ziwama project. The Ziwama's send a sponge-like creature to Cassian Prime and monitored its development. In the Cassian sea the creature developed very fast to become the Cassian of today. The Cassians have no idea where they come from. They are a very peaceful people and treat each other with respect. Every Cassian is responsible for his own family, the younger and the older ones. There are no unemployment fees or pensions and therefore the Cassian has to work. The current Cassian emperor, Cassior III was amazed by the stories de Ruyter told about earth. How was it possible that there was unemployment? Unemployment is simply the difference between demand and supply caused by a minimum wage set by the government. How could a government be so stupid to set a minimum wage? De Ruyter explained him that Europe was under the reign of Socialism for two centuries and therefore had high unemployment rates. The Cassians are a hardworking species and fairly intelligent. Their social intelligence is far higher than that of humans, but Cassians seemed to be less creative than humans. Therefore the Cassians and the Europeans could work together as a team and could create important synergies. Civil war TDS was being formed and needed more members. Therefore the Xirnions and the Bristalics decided to mingle in the politics of the Prismo's. They enforced a group of rebels, which wanted the Prismo's to be part of TDS. Therefore, the Prismo president was forced to have a referendum. Later this referendum was called: "The Referendum of Death". When the majority of the votes were in the hands of TDS, they decided that the no-voters should be killed. All voters needed to put their address on their voting ballot and were therefore easy to track. Many Prismo's were killed in the Civil War that followed. After the more than 2 billion deaths the Prismo's were part of TDS. Coconanos The Coconanos ascended from the last asteroid storm 600 million years ago and realized the importance of being flexible. Although they have a hidden planet, Krach, they do not want to depend solely on this planet and are drifting through space like pirates. These pirates raided many space vessels from all races and many races therefore have anti-pirate programmes. The Coconanos are a huge magnet for individuals from other races. The youth is tired of all the wars and many of them want to be part of an independent organisation like the Coconanos. The Coconanos have been able to join almost all races together in on organisation, even when these individuals come from races that are in war with each other. The leader of the Coconanos is a friend of the prince of the Coffers. The Prince of the Coffers convinced the Coconanos to invite individuals from other races to join them. This way they could be the prove to other races that it is possible to live together. Other races however, did not like this and try to hide this out of shame. Coffer Empire When the Oderons left the Kronos system to help their leader, they decided that it would be wise to leave at least some of the Oderons in this system. They Coffers were honoured by the request to make the Coffer home world an Empire under the lead of the last Oderons. They believed they could safeguard their planet from hostile alien threat. They understood that this needed to be in absolute secrecy and would behave towards these Oderons as they lived there all their lives. The Emperor and his family were ancestors of the Oderon god and therefore pure of heart. They treated the Coffers in a fair way and would monitor the Kronos system for alien threats. Coffers The Coffers are a species which evolved from organisms being brought to Coffer Empire by the last asteroid attack 600 million years ago. Their fur protects them from the cold climate of Coffer Empire. Coffers are giants and are very strong. Therefore they have been misused by TDS members for so long. TDS enslaved them to work on TDS colonies under harsh circumstances. The Emperor could not keep Coffer Empire from being invaded by TDS forces. Many Coffers rebels were imprisoned and killed and members of the royal family were imprisoned and questioned. The Wanderers explained other members of TDS that this royal family are ancestors from the Oderons and could therefore provide valuable information. The treatment of the Coffers are the prove of the horrific deeds committed in the Kronos system. Cuftons After the asteroid rain 600 million years ago, the basic life form leading to the Cufton race was created. The Cuftons are a race that is really interested in money. They called their home planet Cuf, which means as much as “our possession”. They remained neutral for a long time, but they saw a nice opportunity to compete with the Perzikians as a weapon supplier and TDS got rid of the Perzikians and chose the Cuftons as their New Weapon Supplier. Different than the Perzikians, the Cuftons also became an active participant in the war. Although most of TDS members are plainly ruthless, the Cuftons do allow their slaves to have some rights. The Cufton race is a race which is obsessed by money and has different philosophies about it. There are rich Cuftons, who only try and keep their money and there are young and ambitious Cuftons, who believe that money should be made and create daring business plans. The distinctions between these two groups almost lead to a brain drain. The Cufton government was raising taxes and wanted every Cufton to earn the same amount of money. However, all ambitious Cuftons, who made the Cufton economy flourishing, were leaving Cuf for a place where ambitious people were allowed to earn more money. Other Cuftons did not want to work and wanted their pensions to be paid by the young people. Finally when the government saw the consequences on the economy after many Cuftons left, the Government realized they needed the Ambitious young people. They lowered taxes, realized many cuts on pensions, dropped minimum wages, which lead to almost full employment and skipped unemployment fees. Everybody had to work for their money and who did not work either had to ask their family or died from hunger. This actually lead to a boom in Cufton economy and allowed the economy to grow with more than 10% a year. Many people did not think this was fair, but one famous Cufton economist replied: “then is it fair that young people pay taxes of more than 70% and allow lazy and weak people parasite on them? Should not everybody be more responsible for themselves? On the rate the population was aging there would not be any pension left for younger generations. De Ruyter said: “wow that economist made some really economic sense, maybe if we have some victories over TDS we can persuade them to join The Alliance, I think they are a more sensible race than other TDS members”. Cassior III replied “not before we bring their war criminals to justice, they are responsible for the death of hundreds of millions. “ Doomsday On the third of February 2158 A.D. the Ziwama home planet was destroyed by TDS forces. An attack leaded by the Prismo's and supported by the Xirnions and the Cuftons on the core of the planet leaded to what we today call Doomsday. The Alliance did not consider this as a possibility, but soon came true as a nightmare. The Ziwama's send all their technology as well as instructions about the encounter of the human race in the last minutes before the final blast. Additionally the Ziwama's gave the Cassians some clues about strategic areas in the Kronos system. They advised to send a taskforce to liberate Helmo, because they knew that these Helmo's some way had a way to communicate with the Oderons. Help from the Oderons would surely lead to victory, but until now there has been no sign of the Oderons. The Ziwama planet was destroyed and the Ziwama race at least nearly extinct. It is not yet sure whether there are some Ziwama's alive, but not too much is to be expected when they are alive. Energy life forms The Oderons are an ancient race. At a certain moment in evolution they started evolving into energy beings. Nature realised that the body was a weakness and the new body, which was not made out of material, but out of energy was far more efficient. This did however cause tensions between “evolved” Oderons and normal Oderons. Thanks to the effort of the Oderon god, these groups did not fight each other, but find ways of how to make use of this difference. Oderons had much more time to evolve than human beings, but it is believed that at a certain moment in time, the human body will also evolve into an energy form. Enlightment When Oderons began to evolve towards Energy life forms, a tension grew between evolved and non-evolved. There was one of the evolved, who had a feeling for both of the two races and tried to bring them together. When he made clear that all Oderons were better off when working together, people were looking up to him like a god. Furthermore, he had a plan. For years, he was looking for the meaning of existence, and at a moment, he understood what could lead to eternal happiness. He understood that when beings are doing things against their conviction they ended up unhappy, because in the end they were confronted with their actions in the past. He also realised that the most of the Oderons were not that smart. Most of the “less gifted” Oderons were only thinking about short term satisfaction of needs. They were only busy with basic things, but also used immoral behaviour to reach their short term goals. Things like lying to one another made things easier in the short run, but in the end it leads to unhappiness. He was thinking about a plan of how to explain to less intelligent beings that their immoral behaviour would not lead to long-term satisfaction. These beings, however, did not seem to be interested in his philosophy and were actually living like zombies constantly fulfilling their short-term needs. Eventually he found a way how to help these beings to cross the message and how to make the less intelligent beings realise that by leading their lives in a more moral way they could help improve their quality of life. They believed he must have been some reincarnation of him. He finally was able to reach that God and helped combining a moral life on the planet with eternal life in an after-life. In order to reach this after-life they would need to live their life in a moral way and he made up basic rules of how to reach it. Although there were still many less intelligent Oderons, who were not able to believe in something they have not seen. He was able to help some of them to learn to believe in things that are abstract and harder to comprehend. However he notified that in the end, there was a positive correlation between Oderons who believed in this god and their intelligence. As well are there many hypocrites, who pretend to believe, but actually do not life towards the rules. He was very disappointed, because he knew that these beings would not be suitable for after-life. The way he helped many Oderons to believe in this god, so he tried with other races, like the Helmo's, which eventually worked out really successfully. Europeans Europeans have a rich history. For more than 2500 years the European continent was a place of continuing battles and wars. Many kingdoms and rulers tried to conquer the whole continent, but nobody actually succeeded. Around 1600 A.D. many European countries tried to expand their territories and were able to conquer many new territories. However after the first two world wars, Europe was forced to give up many of their colonies and the US and the USSR were the new super powers. After the cold war, the US was the only super power. After the wars on terrorism from the Muslim extremists, the US was in extreme financial problems, because of the rise of China as a super nation. Europe had similar problems because of socialists ruling European governments. After the defeat of Socialism in 2107, Free Market Economy was reintroduced. Europe recovered its rich culture and history after the banishment of it by the socialists. The socialists wanted equality in everything and therefore, pride on national cultures was found inappropriate and was banished. Pieces of art work and whole towers were being torn down, because they were the proof of Europe's capitalistic past. After the defeat of the socialists, the taxes were reduced from 90% to only 10%, just enough to allow the government to do what a government is supposed to do: protecting the safety and the property rights of its civilians. After 2107, politicians in the whole of Europe realized the threat of a nuclear war, because many of the world's countries had nuclear weapons in their possession. They decided to found project called the "New Beginning" to evacuate Europe's civilians, animals, plants, data, etc. This project was funded solely by tax income, because exposure to the public would jeopardize the future of the European race. On the 9th of October 2171 the Exodus began and here the travel to the Kronos system was set. Although extremely classified, the Ruyter received coordinates for the ship to go to from an unknown source. Therefore they encountered new life forms that easily. The Europeans were a proud race, when reading in 20th century history books was allowed again; many Europeans became interested in Europe before the "Blur". A kind of renaissance was established in the first decades of the 22nd century. They would show these Cassians and other beings in the Kronos system how special they were. Find the Oderons When the Bristalics came to this system, they encountered many new life forms. The Xirnions explained them that they once tried to conquer the system, but failed because of the Oderons. When TDS was on the winning side and the Wanderers reported that somehow the “good” could not be destroyed at earth, the Bristalics decided to leave as there was no way that they would ever get rid of all these believing, and sharing beings when the Oderons would still be out there converting beings into believing in something greater than the Bristalics them selves. The Bristalics want to be the superior race of the galaxy and if people would not want to listen they were enslaved and were made to believe in the Bristalics and not in something higher than them. Many enslaved organised groups and with planned resistance trying to free outposts. Somehow TDS was unable to break the moral of the rebels and as long as these rebels believed the Oderons would return some day and liberate them, they would have the moral to rebel against the Bristalic occupation. Therefore, they left the Kronos system about 4000 years ago and went to the place where the Wanderers told them, they were banished on the planet. They could find a clue here about the whereabouts of the Oderons. First Interracial War The First Interracial War in the Kronos system was about 600 million years ago, after the Asteroid storm. The Xirnions realised the damage done to Perzikian Prime by the Asteroid storm and decided they wanted to occupy their planet. Although they thought it was going to be an easy target, the Perzikians had many hidden weapons. The Perzikians had a way of sending objects in space in a direction they wanted. After the Asteroid attack, the Perzikian government invested a lot in developing such a device in order to make sure any future asteroid will not hit Perzikian Prime as hard as it did this time. After the normal Perzikian army was defeated, the Perzikians decided to use the device to steer their one and only moon in rampage course with the Xirnion home planet. Miraculously it hit the only peace of land of the Xirnion home planet. The Xirnions were stunned and did not know whether the Perzikians had any other surprises and decided to sign a truce. The Oderons did not interfere in this war. Neither, the Perzikians, nor the Xirnions seemed to have a basis of moral behaviour. Although the Perzikians were not evil by nature, they were to materialistic to commit themselves to moral behaviour when the price was too high. First Space War In the beginning of the 21st century, the Chinese and Indian economy began to grow at an amazingly high rate. The Chinese finally figured that if they would allow Free Market Economy, they could make use of their cheap labour and compete in global economy. When they did, Europe, Japan, and the US had major problems dealing with this cheap labour. Many firms moved to China to produce everything there. The governments of the western countries did not want to give up their welfare systems, and more importantly, their minimum wages. As wages were set at a minimum, many firms left their home countries and invested in China. The US and the EU reacted in a protectionist way and increased trade barriers. As they did, even more companies left the Western world and as Milton Friedman, a famous 21st century libertarian already predicted. Except for food the US did not export anything to China. The US socialist regime became so annoyed with the Chinese that they decided to stop their food export. The Chinese economy was specialised in industry and services and had a really big problem feeding their 1.5 billion inhabitants. When their main food supplier stopped export, the Chinese were in big trouble. After the death of more than 50 million Chinese out of hunger, the Chinese people called for revenge and the government decided to bomb US colonies on mars. This lead to the First Space War in 2103 and it lasted until 2106. China decided to give up under the condition that the US would end the food embargo against China. In the meantime, the Chinese population was reduced to 1.3 billion and horrible images were broadcasted around the world. The end of the First Space War lead to a revolution in Europe. The Free Market Resistance (FMR) managed to break into the studios of the European State Television(EST) and broadcasted the pictures of the war and explained that Socialism was to blame of all the misery. The socialists tried to hide the war from the public, because it could wake up people and let them consider things. After the short broadcast, which only lasted 5 minutes, the army broke into the studio and killed the members of the FMR. They explained that the people who broke in are dangerous terrorist, who wanted to spread lies. They continued the news with: “Our beloved president has raised the prices of coffee to 40 Euro a kilo. There have been reports of coffee smugglers from Vietnam, but these criminals have been locked away and will be brought to trial.” Free Market Economy Adam Smith (1723-1790) with his book: "An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations", is still being seen as the founding father of Free Market Economy. He pointed out that governments should not prohibit import from foreign countries and favoured free trade. He also pointed out that humans only act out of self interest. He wrote: It is the maxim of every prudent master of a family never to attempt to make at home what it will cost him more to make than to buy. The tailor does not attempt to make his own shoes, but buys them of the shoemaker. The shoemaker does not attempt to make his own clothes, but employs a tailor. The farmer attempts to make neither the one nor the other, but employs those different artificers. All of them find it for their interest to employ their whole industry in a way in which they have some advantage over their neighbours, and to purchase with a part of its produce, or what is the same thing, with the price of a part of it, whatever else they have occasion for. He believed that low taxes would have a positive effect on economic growth. John Maynard Keynes was criticizing his theory and said that the government should actively involve in national economy. During the socialist regime, the arguments of Keynes was used by many politicians as a prove of the importance of the government in a national economy. Free Market Economy believes in full employment without government influence, because of demand and supply. Employment is being caused by government intervention like minimum wages, taxes and other social measures. Golden plate The Golden Plate recovered by the Ziwama's was stored in the main palace of Cassior III and has been successfully identified as the Golden Plate from Voyager II, an unmanned space craft designed to examine the planets in the solar system. Voyager II was launched in the 1970's and has successfully examined Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune and other objects in the solar system. After this, the probe continued its voyage in deep space and had a Golden Plate on board in the case it would encounter aliens. Although this chance was expected to be near to zero, it did happen and the Wanderers, which monitored Earth apparently didn't see the craft. In 2070 Voyager I crashed on earth in the Sahara dessert. The Earth was under shock, because this could only been done by an alien and a text was written on it in Latin saying: "Keep your shit on your own planet!” The Socialists in Europe tried to hide this for years, because humans could wake up and start to think again about different things than being equal and a customer. When they didn't, people were stunned and the resistance against the socialists was born. Helmo's The Helmo's are the first race, which were successfully enlightened. This first success was very important for the Oderon god and lead to the building of a Statue on Helmo and later on Tentaal. The Helmo's are red furry creatures, which refuse to talk in any other language than their own. Additionally they are peace loving and loyal followers of the Enlightment. They are also the only way for The Alliance ever to contact the Oderons. The moon of Helmo, Helma is being seen as the female counterpart of Helmo and an interesting connection exists between these two objects, especially during an eclipse. Helmo was a popular tourist resort before TDS invaded their planet. There have been reports of ethnic cleansing by TDS forces, but contact is not possible at the moment. Homo Neanderthalensis The Homo Homo Neanderthalensis, also known as Neanderthalers are the final product of Earth's evolution. They lived from about 150,000 years ago until the Homo Sapiens slaughtered them. However, some of them were able to reproduce themselves with the Homo Sapiens and it is believed that therefore some Homo Sapiens are still good natured. Latin The ancient Oderons spoke in Latin and when the Wanderers came to Earth they enforced this language in the Roman culture. The Statue on Tentaal says: "Veni Vidi Vici", which means "He came, he saw and he conquered" in Latin. This was the same what was said about Julius Caesar a famous Roman emperor. This revealing fact shows the serious interference from alien races in Human culture. New weapon supplier 10,000 years ago the Perzikians were slaughtered by TDS. The Perzikians were asking high prices for their weapons and the Xirnions saw this as a chance to take revenge on their failed invasion. The Perzikians were clever businessmen, but did not expect this treason. Except for “The Last Perzikian” all Perzikians were killed. This Last Perzikian managed to escape from TDS clutches on a mission in deep space and asked sanctuary to the Cassians. Because he was the last Perzikian, the Cassians let him free and gave him the same rights as any other Cassian. The Last Perzikian is told to hide many secrets on his mission in deep space. Although his race is dead, Perzikians were an optimistic race and he is a very happy person as long as he doesn't loose any money. The Cuftons were the next weapon supplier of TDS after the Perzikians were killed. Different than the Perzikians, the Cuftons take active part in the war. Oderons The Oderons are beings that evolved from a one-cell organism, which developed after an asteroid hit on Tentaal 2.6 billion years ago. The one-cell organism developed in the Tentaal Sea and millions of creatures and plants ascended out of it. At a certain moment one of these creatures developed further on land. The Oderons finally became the superior being on the planet. Oderons are far more evolved than human beings as they already began trading and exploring space, when life on Earth was not even present. The Oderons played a key role in the development of all the races that are known at the moment. The Oderons left the Kronos system to meet with their Oderon god. Oderons leave After the Oderon god left the Kronos system he contacted the Oderons through the Statue on Helmo. He wanted the Oderons to join him in a new system, which he found. Before the Oderons left the system they provided defence weapons to peace loving races in the Kronos system to defend themselves against hostile aliens. When the Oderons arrived, the Oderon God inspected them. He was very shocked, in the years he was away; some of the Oderons were morally degraded and lost the way on the path to Enlightment. He decided that the Oderons, who were not passing his test, would need to be abandoned on a planet nearby, without any way to escape from there. The Oderons who were abandoned were from now on called the Wanderers, because they lost the way to Enlightment. After the Wanderers were abandoned, the Oderon god explained why he called for the assistance of his people and needed to separate the Wanderers from them. He had found a system, which was almost entirely destroyed by raiders. Whole planets and moons were destroyed and only one race barely survived the attacks. The Oderon god explained that these raiders needed to be found, because they could be a serious threat to Enlightment. After this the Oderons left looking for other races and nothing further is known about the whereabouts of the Oderons. Perzikians The Perzikians evolved out of the one-cell organism, which was brought to Perzikian Prime during the asteroid storm 1.6 billion years ago. The Perzikians were part of The Alliance for quite some time and delivered weapons. However, when TDS offered them a better deal, they turned to TDS. Perzikians were keen businessmen and were very aware of how economy works. They were not interested in fighting themselves, because that would destroy value. Instead they listened to the demand of the market and provided weapons. They did however keep the best weapons for themselves. The Perzikians still remembered the failed Xirnion invasion and did not want to become a victim again. Perzikians were not interested in selling weapons before; they traded in a great variety of products. In more friendly times, the Perzikians had many trade agreements with the Cassians and helped them to exploit the Iron ore on their colony Red. When the Perzikians were faded out of history, they could only defend against the first wave of the Xirnion army. The Xirnion army was bluffed. Their army was defeated for the second time and made the same mistake of underestimating the Perzikians in their defensive strength. However, they asked the Bristalics to attack for them and this meant the end of Perzikian Prime. Because of the war between TDS and The Alliance, the Perzikians did not live on planets of Alliance members and therefore, this also meant the end of the Perzikian Race. Only one Perzikian seems to have survived the attack, because he was in deep space at the moment of TDS's invasion. Plan of Chaos After the Wanderers were abandoned on the deserted planet by the Oderons, they were destined to take revenge on the Oderons. They figured that without the Oderons, they would be able to create chaos in the rest of the galaxy. They returned to the Kronos system and allied with TDS. An audio device was found on Stemlar, which is assumed to belong to the Wanderers. Not only in the Kronos system had the Wanderers begun to start chaos. When the other TDS members were strong enough, the Wanderers left to the Solar system. They found, Earth that was already visited long before. The Oderons did not see life forms, which could be intelligent enough. Therefore they decided to leave the planet alone for now. The Wanders waited as well, but would only react when the life forms would be bound to listen to them. The Homo Homo Neanderthalensis was seen as a threat. The Wanderers sent their experiment to the surface. They started killing off the Homo Homo Neanderthalensis. Some of the Neanderthalers were successful in reproducing themselves with the invaders. This is also why the Wanderers did not succeed in completely eradicating the good out of Homo Sapiens. The experiment of the Wanderers was made out of DNA, which made the creature extremely violent. However, the DNA of the two races mixed and different groups were grounded. The majority of all the humans in the world are therefore still evil. The Wanderers were very thoroughly in their experiment and they were able to make the Homo Sapiens, do all the things, which the Oderon god told the other races not to do. In the past two centuries, humans were lying to one another, killing, disrespecting their parents, committing adultery on their partners, etc. The Plan of Chaos included Socialism as a tactic to mislead the humans. As the situation got worse, they took advantage of the strongest country of the world. As the US had the most nuclear bombs, they were chosen. A coup took place and the US was under the lead of the Amazemike regime. The “Plan of Chaos” is still taking place and is a major concern to The Alliance. Prismo's The Prismo's came to the Kronos system when they followed the Bristalics. The Prismo's and the Bristalics come from the same system, but are not in the slightest way allies. It is not entirely clear what exactly happened between these two races in their system, but they were in war with each other and the Prismo's were in for revenge. The Prismo's tried to remain independent as long as possible, but after “The Referendum of Death”, the Prismo's allied TDS. Most of the Prismo's who were against TDS membership were killed off and therefore it is shown once again that many races deal with evil individuals, which are an obstacle to the path of Enlightment. In this case most of the enlightened Prismo's were killed off. Socialism Socialism was made up by the Wanderers. This crucial part of the Plan of Chaos was initially called “Plan of Inefficiency”. Because richer people had to pay money to the poorer people and were forced to do this, the richer, more efficient people were not motivated to work harder. Why would someone work harder then somebody else, if he would need to pay more taxes? Efficient people were punished for being efficient because of higher taxes and were therefore not motivated to work harder. In the end the system would support inefficiency and would destroy whole civilizations. If the Wanderers would present their “Plan of Inefficiency” like this, people would never favour these ideas. Therefore, the Wanderers deviously called their plan “Socialism”, because it sounds better. To make people believe Socialism was a good thing, they said that they wanted to get rid of poverty by dividing the money over the people. They were able to convince many intellectuals that this was a good idea and it helped ruining companies, who were blamed as the evildoers. Karl Marx, the founder of Socialism was given the ideas by an influencer sent by the Wanderers. Socialism spread around the world and the First and Second World War were the direct consequence. Communism an evolved idea of Socialism did not work out that well and was being criticized. The Wanderers planned a new attack; they supported the hippie movement and preached free sex and other immoralities to let the youth believe Socialism was a good idea. New social systems were implemented and working people were paying the bill for people who did not want to work. There is no logic behind letting some people work for the rest of the people and therefore Socialism is guilty of intellectual oppression. Only intellectual people were being bothered by the stupidity of such a system. The rest of the people were being degraded to zombies by the socialist governments. Many people in the end of the 20th century just watched television all day long, drinking alcohol, not working, and calling alarm numbers all night long. Because of the social systems many economic refugees were attracted to Europe. They did not have the intension to work and wanted unemployment fees. In the beginning of the 21st century Europe was being brain drained. All ambitious people left Europe. Only weaker, older, and retarded people stayed. People left the churches, because psychologists said, the church just brainwashed them and people were made to believe that religion is old fashioned. Already under the Stalin regime religion was having a harsh time, but in the 21st century, churches were being burned and especially many Christians were killed, because they were said to be troublemakers. Because of the bad economic circumstances, which are a cause of Socialism, the Socialism blamed the evil companies. The companies left and were causing unemployment. The socialists did not coup, but were able to keep the people stupid. The socialist tyranny lasted until 2107. The FMR mainly consisted of intellectuals and Christians. These were also the ones being held responsible for the bad European economic situation. The end of the First Space War was the last draw and the FMR took over. People were allowed to have their chip being removed out of their heads. The socialists implanted behavioural chips inside their heads, because it could be dangerous to think. Horrible stories were revealed. Children with high IQ-scores disappeared, Christians were burned, cigarette-smokers were being electrocuted and shoppers who went to cheap stores were being hung. It was only allowed to buy products inside the EU, because foreign products would induce unemployment. These protectionist measures caused the prices of products to go rocket high. Competition was being eliminated and only shops with an EU mark were legal shops. When the socialist regime was finally defeated, the chips were removed, the taxes were reduced from 90 percent to 10 percent, competition was allowed and international trade was resumed. In the US the Amazemike regime still enforced its socialist laws. Statue on Tentaal The Statue on Tentaal is the last evidence for Oderon presence in this system. The Statue was made in honour of the Oderon god. This Statue saying Veni Vidi Vici was built on the home planet of the Oderons. A similar Statue is built on Helmo. Many beings in this system obey the Statue and prey for the day the Oderons will return. The Alliance The Alliance was formed after TDS was invading home worlds of other races. Important members of The Alliance were the Ziwama's, the Cassians and the Coffers. After the Ziwama's were killed at Doomsday and Coffer Empire was invaded, the Cassians were the only race left in The Alliance. Only when the Europeans came to the system, The Alliance was enforced and there was new hope. The Dark Syndicate (TDS) TDS was founded by the Bristalics and other races, which became part of it, were: Xirnions, Prismo's, Wanderers, Perzikians and later the Cuftons. The goal of TDS is to conquer the Kronos system and spread chaos across the rest of the rest of the galaxy. The Bristalics, which were the strongest part of this syndicate left the system to chase the Oderons, but left much technology for the rest of TDS members. TDS and The Alliance are in war for millions of years already and have been on the winning side for quite some time. However, their inefficiency is a major hold back for them. Although the Cuftons are trying to convince TDS that their economic system does not work, they do not seem to listen. Third World The Third World is the word, which is used for the poorest countries on planet Earth. In the 20th and the 21st century it was believed that these countries did not develop because of capitalist invaders, who enslaved them in the 19th and 20th century. Especially under the socialist regime this was a very common answer to problems in the Third World. Because evil capitalist investors exploited these people, they were poor. Of course the real cause of the problem in the Third World was that the countries, especially in Africa were colonized that late. Other colonies, which became independent much sooner were independent for a long time and could develop with improved infrastructure. However, Africa was colonized very late and became independent too soon. Africa was controlled by corrupt politicians, who always mentioned the same cause, the white colonists, who destroyed their country. White farmers and investors were being killed and driven out of the country. This did however not have a positive effect on the economy. Another cause for the development problems in these areas were the protectionist ways the EU and other industrialized countries protect their market. Because these countries do not allow products from Africa in, only with ridiculous import tariffs, they do not have a way to compete and therefore cannot develop. This is another negative effect of Socialism. The money paid to developing countries, never seem to reach their destination and giving food is just a temporary solution. It was only after the socialist regime was removed in 2107, when the boundaries were lifted. The African economy boomed and revolutions, caused by the African population helped overthrow corrupt regimes. This was once again a victory over poverty thanks to free trade. It was very sad, many millions of people died in Africa, because of socialist propaganda and Europeans now think back about the decisions of their ancestors. How could their ancestors in the 21st century be so stupid to choose for Socialism? The African economic growth, however did not take very long. The Amazemikes used old video's to show to their population to inform them about the situation in Africa. They could not allow the European free market experiment too leak out and therefore they bombed the entire continent with biochemical missiles. The Amazemikes informed their population about the development of their operation: “End of poverty”. They stated: The poverty in the whole continent of Africa is solved, every person alive in Africa is free of hunger, or illness; all people alive in Africa are now happy persons and thank us for our help.” The sad thing was, there was no person in Africa still alive. And this was the end of Africa as a continent habited by human beings. Wanderers When the Oderons met with their Oderon god, this god found out that some of his people were not enlightened. These people lost their way on the path to Enlightment and were not suitable for the job still to come. Therefore he decided to let them undergo a test, which would point out, whether they were up to the job. The group, who did not pass this test was expelled to a nearby planet and were called: the Wanderers. The Wanderers have managed to implement their Plan of Chaos in many parts of the galaxy and have helped TDS to become as powerful as it is right now. The last deed of the Wanderers was the coup committed by the Amazemikes, who seized the power in the USA. It is not known where the Wanderers are at the moment, but it could well be that they can be found near Earth, because of their involvement there. Xirnions The Xirnions were one of the three races, which developed after the asteroid storm, 1.6 billion years ago. Their planet consists for the greatest part out of water and only one small continent. Therefore the Xirnions developed as sea creatures and therefore these creatures only developed space technology 650 million years ago. The First Interracial War was 50 million years later between the Xirnions and the Perzikians. The Xirnions make heavy use of their only continent to develop more space technology; everything else is produced under water. The Xirnions became part of TDS at the right moment the Bristalics came with the idea. (TDS) Xirnions are very cruel beings have never been open for negotiations. Ziwama's Ziwama's belong to the oldest beings of this system. The first life forms on the Ziwama planet began to grow about 1.6 billion years ago, soon after the asteroid storm. Ziwama's began to dominate the planet very soon; they did not have that many natural enemies on their planet. Ziwama's have always been interested with themselves and less with other beings in the system. When they were approached by the Oderon god to follow their plan of Enlightment, they were not that interested. They told the Oderons that they had moral standards of their own and did not need a review on that. Ziwama's were very scientific and were far beyond many other races in the development of things like, biology, physics and chemistry. They were pacifists that did not engage in a war. They did however place devices on planets of other aliens in the case they would turn against them. They also were very developed in space technology. Their most ambitious project was the creation of a being themselves. 500 million years ago they sent sponge-like creature to the planet, which is now called Cassian Prime. The Cassians are their most ambitious project, but the Cassians do not know that the Ziwama's are their founding father. Ziwama's were pacifists, but when TDS started to attack other aliens, they started The Alliance. The Ziwama's were masters in setting up booby-traps like turrets in the asteroid field. The asteroid field was used as a means of natural defence against TDS forces. The Ziwama's became extinct after the invasion of their planet by TDS forces the third of February 2158 A.D. The Ziwama's sent much important information to the Cassians right before their planet exploded. Some of this information includes the position of the asteroid mine fields, a deadlock device on an alien planet, weapon blueprints and orders towards approaching humans. The Ziwama's did not posses many social skills, which are important in approaching alien races. Therefore no Ziwama was ever part of the interracial group of the Coconanos pirate group. No Ziwama has been found alive until now and the odds are against them.
