History
CY 9716 The Magog first appeared in 9716 CY at the devestating attack of Brandenburg Tor. The Magog are a carnivorous race who use a potent paralyzing venom to subdue their victims, then use their bodies to incubate the Magog's eggs.First Appearance CY 9786 The last battle of the Commonwealth Civil War is fought at the Witchhead Nebula when High Guard ships are ambushed by a larger Nietzschean fleet. The two fleets destroy each other almost completely. Shortly afterward, the Magog cross the Quarantine Zone in strength and numbers never imagined. Swarm fleets roam all of known space, indiscriminately attacking Nietzschean and former Commonwealth worlds alike. With no central political authority remaining and reliable interstellar communications only a memory, individual worlds are left to fend for themselves. CY 9797 During one of the many Magog raids on Earth, a human holy man is paralyzed and implanted with Magog eggs. Miraculously, the human remains conscious, and he spends the incubation period speaking to his Magog captor about various human religions and philosophies. Inspired by the words of his victim, the Magog renounces violence and founds the People of the Way, with his newborn progeny as the new religion’s first converts. Many humans, Than, Perseids, and others; - even a small minority of Magog - ;flock to this new amalgam of belief systems, and spread its gospel of peace and hope throughout known space. |
Brandenburg Tor
Location: Muttawalis Globular Cluster Previous Information: Once one of known space's most beautiful and vibrant worlds, Brandenburg Tor has been off-limits to all Commonwealth citizens since 9766 CY, the date of the Magog invasion and subsequent quarantine. Brandenburg Tor now lies in territory ceded to the Magog by the Treaty of Antares. It is unknown whether the Magog use the planet as a breeding world or have left it broken and deserted, a ghostly reminder of their first deadly contact with Commonwealth civilization.
