The Herodians, residing on the planet
Vega in the Lyra constellation, have a violent and
destructive past. More interestingly they have a
very important role in which the story of RF will
play out.
Herodians, by nature, are a very aggressive race
with an evil reputation for destroying other creatures
and plundering their resources. Entire galaxies
formed an alliance in order to survive the cruel
reign of the Herodians.
A new start
The Taurus constellation,
as it became known, had established power that could
rival the might of the Herodians and guarded itself
against the Herodians' cruelty and aggressive nature.
The Herodians declared war on the races within the
alliance, a war that lasted tens of thousands of
years. The balance of power never shifted and the
stalemate continued. With the bloodshed and death
toll ever rising, something had to be done to secure
victory…
The Herodian civilisation consumed resources at
a rapidly increasing rate, far faster than they
were producing. However the shortage of resources
posed a significant problem in the development and
maintenance of the civilisation.
This resource problem was resolved through an interesting
method developed by the Herodians. By scattering
Herodian engineered creatures throughout the planets
they controlled, vital resources could be harvested.
It was inevitable that the human inhabited galaxy
would draw interest to the Herodians. Especially
now as humans were growing in power and technology,
however the biggest surprise to the Herodians was
that this wasn't their first encounter with humans.
What was baffling the Herodians was how mankind
had survived from their earlier intervention, an
intervention that had the Herodian's planting a
biological weapon on Earth centuries ago. No other
race had survived previous attacks with this weapon
up until then
The Herodians manufactured a new virus, which was
now a third generation strain, and more powerful
then any previous incarnation. This new biological
weapon had been used in the war with the Taurus
constellation and humans throughout the allied territories
of the Taurus constellation died, oblivious to the
real cause of their plight.
The Herodian people had no doubt that the Human
galaxy would soon be theirs for the taking. However,
events did not turn out the way they had anticipated.
The majority of human civilisations were obliterated,
but a small number of resilient humans in various
sectors survived and began to develop new weapons
to resist the new strain of the virus…
