Mother Earth may have past away, but life continues forever...
 

1) The Trinity Myth involves the Human species H. Sapiens, Luminous & Intelligens (& their Catharsis counterparts). It originated from an ancient Morab prophecy, that foretold of three archangels that would free them from Blurgiss Empire oppression & look over them for eternity. The Myth was later dismissed when H. Sapiens & Allies (Vargary, Lyonies & Drey) freed the Morab during the Liberation War. But when three sentient corporeal Human species were known to exist, some ancient Morab historians revived the Trinity Myth by contributing the three archangels to the these Humans. The Myth soon spread & gained popularity, especially after any crisis where Humans were in the front lines defending the UFP. Most Humans rubbished the Myth & did everything they could to dismiss it. Yet when The Catharsis took place for each Human specie, many UFP citizens became even more convinced in the truth of the Trinity Myth.
 

2) The Obolong conquest & colonisation of Earth enjoys a short history. Within 50 years of the death of the last Raptus Intellectus, a Human Coalition of H. Spiritous, Fontusme, Apparitio & SSS annihilate all Obolong on Earth. A counter-attack by an Obolong fleet suffers the fate of their Earth occupation/colonial personnel. The Coalition goes on to annihilate the entire Obolong race. The Obolong originated from the planet Inloy.
 

3) Homo Sapiens on Fin are the oldest living specie known to exist in the real time & space universe. They have become the Ancients of all Ancients at 5 billion years old. Current populations levels are thought to be about 500 million. They withdrew to Fin in self exile approximately 2 billion years prior to the Glorious Passing. H. Sapiens on Fin are the most technologically advanced civilisation known to exist. Life span is thought to be akin to being immortal as medical science has almost conquered death (barring illness or injury). All species, except H. P. Intelligibilis, have left H. Sapiens alone. More often than not, any attempt to approach Fin is usually met with a violent & deadly end.
