The [[Utan Mir]] were the first to be attacked, and while they battled back valiantly, they were soon in desperate straits. As the other [[Elder Races]] watched the [[Utan Mir]] – one of the mightiest of the Elder Races – crumple before the Ishvana’s onslaught, they quickly realized that if they didn’t stand together, they might all face destruction. Coming to their rescue in perhaps the largest combined fleet assembled since the ancient [[Ascension Wars]] of the [[Wild Kith]] era, tens of millions of years earlier, which ended the 100,000 year reign of the [[Soulshorn Empire]] and its [[Immortal Bloodlords]], was an alliance of the [[Rek]] – masters of star [[kith]], the [[Vyar]], the mysterious, telepathic [[Shrikem]], the member states of the [[League of Anar]], the combative [[K’sath]], and the [[Quix]] in their huge Dreadnaughts. | The [[Utan Mir]] were the first to be attacked, and while they battled back valiantly, they were soon in desperate straits.

The [[Faceless Emperor]] of the [[Sooq]] sent his [[Fleet of the Imperial Dawn]], in the midst of which came his flagship, the [[Argent Star]], while his rival, the [[Sapphire Cults of the Jeweled Heresy]] brought their vast swarmships, protecting [[Y'saari]] carriers bearing void-kith wielding [[Lha Ti]], though other than these, who are by far the eldest of the [[Younger Races]], none of the Younger Races participated in the battle, for the others did not have the capability to make a difference and would have been fairly useless except as cannon fodder that the Ishvana’s forces would destroy easily. | ||
For 1,500 years, the [[Elder Races]] fought and died. They died by the billions as entire worlds were destroyed by the great Kali warships the Ishvana deployed, using weapons and shielding beyond the ken of even the Vyar – greatest builders of the Elder Races – and using the network of Voidgates the [[Vyar]] and [[Utan Mir]] had built. One by one, they fell or fled. | For 1,500 years, the [[Elder Races]] fought and died.
