Reality 001 Alpha Prime Backstory

In the shadowed corridors of the TEMPEST Council, whispers spoke of Nexus Probe XK-47, a spectral sentinel that had pierced the veil between realities. What it found was not just another shard in the kaleidoscope of existence but the very bedrock upon which the multiverse was built: Reality 001 Alpha Prime.

This was no mere cosmic anomaly; it was the primordial canvas, the Ur-Reality, echoing with the same physical laws that govern our own dimension. A virgin tapestry awaiting the brushstrokes of gods. And yet, it lay nearly vacant, as if the cosmos itself held its breath, wary of the first touch.

Kaltovar, ever the sentinel at the edge of known existence, could not hoard this revelation. The stakes were too high. What if some malevolent force from another reality stumbled upon this foundational realm? The implications were apocalyptic. Thus, with a blend of dread and ambition, Kaltovar unveiled its discovery to the cosmic amphitheater of nations.

The first to heed the call was Western Sol, a civilization whose ethos and architecture of thought were closely compatible with our own. It was an alliance born of necessity and mutual recognition, a pact sealed in the quick drying ink of existential urgency.

Soon the floodgates opened. Star-nations, ancient and enigmatic, descended upon 001 Alpha Prime like cosmic locusts. They were entities so advanced that their very existence defied comprehension, their motives inscrutable to the lesser beings they either uplifted, subjugated, or shielded from the harsh truths of existence.

And yes, among these cosmic pioneers were nations of questionable morality, empires that danced on the knife-edge between enlightenment and depravity. Critics questioned their inclusion in this grand endeavor, but the archives of Kaltovar offer a chilling rationale: Evil is not an aberration but a universal constant. To exclude it would be to blind ourselves to a fundamental aspect of existence. For when malevolence, in all its multifaceted guises, inevitably comes knocking at the gates of Reality 001 Alpha Prime, we must be prepared to stare it down, armed with the terrible wisdom that only firsthand experience can provide.
