  1. Millions of years ago, there exists a spare faring multi-species civilization so vast it colonized almost one-half of the Milky Way Galaxy, encompassing hundreds of thousands of habitable planets, and other celestial bodies, both natural and terraformed. We could call them the precursors, they are a Type 3 Civilization, one that could harness the power of a thousand stars and have colonized a big chunk of the galaxy, as opposed to a Type 2, and Type 1 civilizations, type 2s can only harness the power of a single star and have colonized most of its solar system, while 1s can only harness the power of a single planet, in most cases, their home planet, anything below that can be classified as a Type 0. Anything in the middle areas can be designated with an additional decimal value.
  2.  
  3. For millions of years they lived in prosperity, assimilating other Type 2, 1 races into their own dominion while leaving Type 0s on their own, restricting contact until they become a Type 1, in which they would welcome them with open arms and gladly absorb them into their culture. All seemed fine, eventually, an empire that massive would be prone to collapse, and indeed it did. At some point, they were split into many factions, and a civil war erupted, with devastating results, everyone got pulled to the war regardless of their stand, it was a fight or be exterminated conflict.
  4.  
  5. Whole star systems were destroyed, planets got ripped apart, entire races were completely erased from existence, and literally everything was in ruins. All attempts to restore peace and order was futile. It was a time of Galactic cataclysm; it seemed like the end of everything for everyone.
  6.  
  7. There were no victors but only survivors, the empire completely collapsed and all the surviving races scattered, lost, and most of them regressed into a Type 0 state, some Type 1s, with the rare few, if any, becoming Type 2s. In time, nature eventually swept through the galaxy with terrifying efficiency, reclaiming once inhabited planets for its own, turning space debris and artificial structures into raw minerals they once were, leaving almost no evidence of the war and the precursors. And it was forgotten.
  8.  
  9. The galaxy was again, empty, quiet, almost devoid of intelligent life. Nature effectively won the war, It waited patiently for it to end, for everyone to destroy themselves, and after all was done, it took back everything in a heartbeat, even the greatest civilizations were no match for nature’s all-encompassing prowess, Or is it? Are all intelligent life doomed to destroy themselves?
