The Phage War

Soon after first contact the Phagan vessel requested permission to dock, flawlessly following Seeder protocols. Despite their surprise at the Phagan capacity to process the provided information, the Seeder provided permission.

Airlocks cycled and the first massacre began. In mere minutes the majority of the Seeders on the research vessel were killed and the remainder were taken captive. Utilising the information available aboard the research vessel it was easy for the Phage to plan a decisive attack against the Seeders.

The Phagan Empire then set about obliterating the Seeder race, a task at which they ultimately succeeded. The Seeders were just too slow and the Phage killed them all. But that was not the end of it.

Phagan Scientists discovered that the seeded worlds would all tend toward evolving more Seeders, making the worlds themselves a dire threat to the the Phagan Empire.

The Phage attempted to destroy seeded worlds, only to discover that their tech was not capable of destroying the actual world crystal. They could reset the clock but not end the count down. The sheer quantity of Seeded worlds made this resetting a non-viable proposition, the Phage would not be able to keep up.

Phagan science then developed the Slugs. Slugs were genetically engineered using techniques stolen from the Seeders magitech. A slug could corrupt a world crystal and consume a corrupted world crystal. The Phage then set about placing a slug on each seeded world they found. This process continues to this very day.
