TOTAL ANNIHILATION : Arm & Core legacy

Long ago, the galaxy had known peace.

Paradise was ruled with the hand of science, and the hand was that of the galactic governing body known as the Core. Ironically, it was the Core's ultimate victory, the victory over death itself, that brought about the downfall of its paradise and started the war that would decimate a million worlds.
The immortality process, known as "patterning," involved the electronic duplication of brain matrices, allowing the transfer of consciousness into durable machines. Effectively it meant immortality, and the Core decreed the process mandatory for all citizens in order to ensure their safety. However, there were many citizens unwilling to toss aside their bodies so casually, many indeed who regarded patterning as an atrocity. They fled to the outer edges of the galaxy, forming a resistance movement that became known as the Arm. War began, though it was never officially declared by either side. The Arm developed high-powered combat suits for its armies, while the Core transferred the minds of its soldiers directly into similarly deadly machines. The Core duplicated its finest warriors thousands of times over. The Arm countered with a massive cloning program. The war raged on for more than 4,000 years, consuming the resources of an entire galaxy and leaving it a scorched wasteland. Both sides lay in ruins. Their civilizations had long since vanished, their once vast military complexes were smashed. Their armies were reduced to a few scattered remnants that continued to battle over ravaged worlds. Their hatred fueled by millenia of conflict, they would fight to the death. For each, the only acceptable outcome was the complete and utter annihilation of the other.

Meanwhile, countless species has been wiped out during the war. But some barely survived, through luck and skill, and achieved to reach space flight tech level. You represent one of such race. Your race has known only war in the galaxy for the past millenia. But now, your time has come. How will you deal with the remnants of Arm and Core ? How will you deal with the other species who achieved to survive the same way as you did ?

You have learned the lesson. There is only one way to work it out : TOTAL ANNIHILATION.

This game uses DeathStalker's mount mod 1.3, with SE4 gold 1.78, we will upgrade to the next patch as soon as it is published to avoid the Temporal Burst bug. This game aslo uses the quadrant type first created by DeathStalker for his Return to Orion PBW. So thank him by killing him if you happen to meet that guy in a PBW :-)
