Shadow of Redemption

Shadow of Redemption
Over the course of a Millennia, as the Syndicate under went multiple time exexcursionsons they slowly began to weaken the barrier between the universes, specifically an alternate time stream universe beside their own in a way.

The Alternate Stream
Through the rift we come to a universe quite different from our own. A world dominated by a single empire known as The Sovereign. Headed by a brutal war lord known as Arxius. This time line broke loose far in the past when Arxius made a separate choice than his alternate, choosing to never detonate the bombs that wiped out his race and instead brought them to heel over time. The sacrifice was great to other empires of the galaxy, and many empires that would have rose never did due to being absorbed or annihilated early on. But slowly the Syndicate became a vast power throughout the universe, having never went extinct in the past.

Birth of the Sovereign
At first they remained mostly to themselves, conquering small empires but basically doing as all empires do. In the dawn of the creator war the syndicate played a large role in their defeat, their leader, Arxius, finally defeating Senrak. Faced with an oppurtunity for power Arxius succumbed, taking Senraks sword for his own. The sword and he clashed wills when he first grabbed it, and for a time it seemed like it would dominate Arxius mind and turn him to it's own uses. But eventually he prevailed, dominating the sword and bringing it's full power under him. But the strain on his mind broke it, and he soon turned into a tyrannical war lord. The syndicate expanded with a fury, conquering every race they could find and adding it to their empire under a supreme command. Any who rebelled were wiped out completely.

The Rift
With the discovery of the rift Arxius quickly rallied the sovereigns forces and pushed through, striking our own universe in a quick movement of power, eradicating one empire without so much of a fight and quickly setting up a territory for further expansion.

They struck with advanced technology from each empire, striking fear in many empires at their show of power. Only the cooperation of our own universe will save us from The Sovereigns Iron Fist.
