Origin
The Forefathers
The first Noxcedeians originated from a Tellusian colony in the Tenebrae Cluster. The colony was established by orders of the Tellusian government approximately 50 years after humanity's arrival to Inaius. Twenty years later, the Tellusian government declared the colony a failure, and canceled all funds and supports to the project, but the colonists were determined to make it work, so they endured 20 years of hardship to no avail, they were abandoned by Tellus, and survival became more difficult by the day, all hope seemed to be lost, until the discovery of alien ruins on planet Dunvec changed everything, forever.
The Great Surge
The discovery of the ruins helped set the colonies 50 years into the future technologically, and life on the Tenebrae Cluster seemed to have finally prospered, more colonies were being built, and similar alien ruins were being discovered on nearby planets, a golden age was ahead. Soon after the discovery of the final habitable planet in the Tenebrae Cluster, the colonists attempted to interact with it's ruins, but upon interaction, the ruins activated and started a chain-reaction to all similar ruins in the Tenebrae Cluster, this event became known as "The Great Surge", the event lead to a widespread power failure, destroying most technology, and killing millions. Another effect of the Surge, was the occurrence of a number of strange phenomenons, such as electric storms, terraformation of the landscape, mutation to the flora and fauna, and even the mutation of many of the colonists, but the strangest of phenomenons was the emergence of a mineral known as Petrutope-7, which would later become Noxcedeia's main source of energy.
This event forced the remaining colonists to live in domed or underground cities, though the few unfortunate souls who could not make it, either perished, turned into mutants, or worse. An age of darkness engulfed the Tenebrae Cluster and the various cities turned into warring tribes fighting for basic resources, this period of anarchy lasted for 400 years, until a man known only as the "Conductor" united the cities under one banner. It took the colonists another century to rebuild their infrastructure and rediscover FTL travel and space flight. It is unknown what became of the Conductor after the Unification Wars, some believe he was the first colonist to interact with the final ruin before the Great Surge, others think he became immortal and is ruling from the shadows, but everyone seems to agree that thanks to him, they managed to reunite the missing colonies in the Tenebrae Cluster under the banner of a new, united empire, the Noxcedeian Hegemony was finally born.
