The Awakening Summons

The Awakening Summons occured aover two thousand years ago. These wars lasted over a series of 237 Galactic Standard Years. The Coalition had grown to its largest size, however no ships had penetrated further than two quantum zones in any direction. The vast galaxy was still silent and unknown. An undiscovered empire in a quantum zone almost thirty light years away decided to subdue this "small menace." Launching a small invasion fleet, it intended to subdue this emerging empire.

Once the invading enemy was spotted, the Coalition launched everything it had at this fleet. The first invasion fleet was destroyed, however each successive fleet was larger and more powerful. The Chilkit Coalition's technological research focussed solely on weapons, communications, and engine drive technologies.

By the time the threat was no longer apparent, the Coalition lost almost a third of its population to food shortages, planetary bombardments by the invaders, and plagues. Three quarters of their military might was lost.

Toward the end of the war, a huge invasion fleet had been discoverred massing just outside the Coalition's borders. The Coalition's troops fought bravely, but the overwhelming desperation of the conquerors was too much.

That is when the gods Lunitaria, Gornia, and Thela-Karlin came to walk as mortals among the troops, spreading messages of hope and promises of glorious conquests.

These gods each chose one individual to embody incredible power. These three were later known as The Elected. They combined their powers and completely destroyed a fleet of invaders. The remaining fleets were so frightened by this display of awesome power that they called off their attack and fled the Coalition.

The Elected were found later, three piles of charred dust. This dust was saved and became one of the holiest relics of the Inetist religion.
