Grandfather was a puppet of a group of truly ancient beings that believed in ORDER and guiding the younger races to full maturity.
Another race, just as ancient, believed that evolution was best served through CHAOS and war. Only the strongest survived.
Grandfather had been able to control Charted Space without interference for thousands of years, but the ancient enemy eventually returned. They used the younger races and formented fear and war. The entire culture collapsed in fire.
From the ashes of this ancient conflict the "modern" races emerged.
Humaniti was one of the younger races, but fell in the war and only scattered remnants survived to start civilization over again. Zhodane, Terra and Vland were the most notable.
Hivers are the new race used by the Lords of Order to try to control the younger races. Vargr are the minions of Chaos.
(Wait, has this been done before...???) :wink:
