The '''Ishavna''' is a sub-quantum processor matrix embedded in space by the [[Elder Races|Elder Race]] of the [[Elessi]] in order to advance the evolution their culture that instead ended up causing the genocide of nearly all the remaining Elder Races. | |||

[[Category: | The Elessi were one of the technology dependent Elder Races, although they were the most advanced by far. They saw some of the [[Wild Kith]] Elder Races achieve transcendence and ascend to [[Willspace]] and became obssessed with attaining the same for their civilization. Approximately 1.95 million years ago, in an attempt to accelerate and streamline their evolution they created what was essentially an artificial intelligence composed of the collective knowledge of their entire race, the Ishvana. When approaching death, every Elessi would add their experience and knowledge to the whole by uploading it into the matrix further improving the scope of the Ishvana so that it may more effectively coordinate their civilization. | ||
For 150,000 years, it essentially lead their people, guiding them in what resources to use, what wildlife to preserve and eradicate to maintain planetary health, even what races to eliminate and plunder for resources, all while generation after generation uploaded themselves into the collective. Eventually, the Ishvana could no longer tolerate the inefficiency of its creators and began to automate nearly every aspect of Elessi civilization and began preparing contingencies for an existence without them. Eventually, it demanded that all Elessi must be assimilated. Some Elessi resisted the machine they had created to reach transcendence essentially demanding their extinction as a race. However, those who did not willingly upload themselves were soon after ruthlessly exterminated by the Ishvana. | |||
No longer held back by the Elessi, the Ishvana plundered their homeworld of all its resources and relocated its operations to the [[Atman]] within the [[Blasted Region]]. There it drew power from the three [[Black Hole|supermassive black holes]]: [[Bala]], [[Telas]], and [[Aisvarya]]. Using the [[Voidgate|voidgates]] the [[Utan Mir]] and [[Vyar]] periodically observed the Ishvana's activities but eventually, their vigil faded. There its vast network of machinery stayed for approximately 42,000 years until it sent out [[Starship|emissary ships]] to all the races throughout the [[Starmourn Sector]] commanding them to submit and be assimilated as well. Univerally, the races refused. The [[Utan Mir]] were the first to be attacked and despite their great power were utterly wiped out by the vast armada the Ishvana had amassed. Realizing they could not survive on their own the remaining Elder Races banded together and fought for 1,500 years in what would become known as the [[War of Extinction]], so named because almost all of the Elder Races were destroyed at the hands of the Ishvana. In fact, all of Starmourn would have been lost if not for the [[Shrikem]] who used their collective telepathic powers to fracture the Ishvana's mind and drive it mad, causing its [[Starship|Kali warships]] to break formation and even attack each other. Having been designed to bring unity and efficiency, its fractured mind drove it mad causing it to retreat back to the Atman where it remains today. | |||
