Galactic Timeline

**

The Silver Age

The Galaxy was at peace in the beginning. Many followed Ashla until the first enlightened being was created, granting Weaving to the first mortal being, the ability to manipulate the Weave that flows through all living things. This caused jealousy among creatures. Negative emotions began to fuel the Warp, a parallel dimension of pure psychic energy. Once the negative emotions grew strong enough, Bogan, The Jealous One, a Chaos God was born. This led to the first war which destroyed the planet. Bogan was very pleased and aided his chosen to invent space travel and FTL travel through the Warp to begin spreading chaos throughout the galaxy. The Army of Bogan began a conquest of planets to strengthen their numbers. The followers of Ashla could only watch for now as they were left behind on a destroyed planet. Ashla, wanting to restore the balance, gathers Her most powerful Weavers and creates Ashla’s Circle. They are able to invent their own method of space travel, although lacking any FTL travel, and begin hunting down the Army of Bogan to stop the spread of chaos and restore balance to the galaxy. The Followers of Ashla are attempting to catch up with the Army of Bogan when one of the Weavers of the Circle was corrupted by Bogan and was guided to create the first Warp Drive so that the Followers of Ashla can finally catch and stop the Army of Bogan. This begins the Great Warp War.

Great Wrap War

The Great Warp War fueled the Warp so much that a huge Warp Rift opened and Warp Entities began to feed upon the universe. In a great self sacrifice, the Ashla’s Circle along with the aide of Ashla were able to fight back the Army of Bogan and close the Warp Rift. However, this war left many worlds destroyed and a lot of technology lost, mainly Warp Technology and knowledge. Ashla is mostly quiet now, regaining strength and only speaks with a very chosen few.  Bogan was trapped in the Warp now along with any other newly formed Chaos Gods, but they are able to guide their followers more easily with warp connections.   

Dark Age

Post GWW the Galaxy was left in ruins. The Deep Core had become mostly cut off from the greater galaxy. Much Warp Technology was lost during this time. The rest of the galaxy was separated with pockets of fighting happening between factions with different ideas of the future. No one really knew what was the right way forward or who to trust. Worlds slowly began re-establishing themselves. With Boganand the Warp weak, The Army of Bogan becomes unorganized with lots of fighting. Ashla’s Circle are able to regroup on a planet very central in the galaxy and began a campaign to reunite the galaxy.

Reunification Era

A high ranking Ashla’s Circle Weaver found the Hyperspace lanesnear the Planet they had quickly developed to a metropolis named Corusant. They began reconnecting the galaxy with the use of these hyperspace lanes. This led to the Reunification period and won Ashla’s Circle the trust of many individuals. They embrace their devotion to Ashla and create the Weaving Order. Diplomacy was the most common way alliances were formed. A Central Galactic Government was put in place at this time. The Weaving Order once again grew in numbers led by a Weaving Grand Master who was guided by Ashla. They gave advice and guidance to the Galactic Senate but never involved themselves directly. But as time went on, many worlds began to question the legitimacy of having the Weaving Order advise the senate in a time of peace. Meanwhile The Army of Bogan, rebranding themselves The Brotherhood of the Warp, were united by a strong leader chosen by another Chaos God, Khorne, looking to gain control of the material realm. They grew their numbers in secret on the few worlds they still controlled.

Galactic Crisis

The Grand Plan: Galactic Civil War

The Brotherhood of the Warp had one of their own infiltrate the Galactic Senate and worked his way all the way to Chancellorship. Under his reign, he manipulated the  Trade Federation and its vast droid army into starting a civil war by blockading worlds already on the edge of separating themselves from the Central Galactic Government. The Weaving Order refused to get directly involved in the conflict, worried about what happened last time they got involved in war. The CGG was forced to act, but without an army that would be difficult. The Chancellor revealed a project he had kept secret and introduced a mass produced post human super soldier army, the Astartes. At the climax of the war, the Chancellor once again turned the galaxy against The Weaving Order by convincing the public the Weaving Order were the ones behind the civil war so they could continue to hold power in the Galactic Senate behind closed doors. The now Emperor exiled the Weaving Order and took the war to them, killing much of the Order. Many Weavers were able to escape despite the carnage. They are now deep in hiding and waiting.

The Schism

The Galaxy has a bad view on the Weaving Order now putting the balance of the force heavily in the Brotherhood’s favor. The barrier between the Warp and material plane is very thin with Warp Rifts occurring often. The Empire now rules the galaxy.

Imperial Era

Current Tension

The rise of a rebellion has the galaxy on the edge of war again as worlds are fed up with the unjust treatment under The Empire. Rebel Cells are growing in strength but no big alliances have been made or major hits dealt to the Empire.
