Care Bears.

It was the fourth race, the Vagyr.

Its Care Bears. No joke.

Then we must commit genocide and exterminate all Care Bears everywhere, so that the Vasari, a far superior race (and way more awesome to boot), will live on.

Eh, maybe.

Ok, the Somtaaw. - their ships don't even use regular Kushan technology; most are based on begged, borrowed, salvaged or stolen Bentusi, Taiidan and Turanic Raider components. Hence the desperation that would lead the Somtaaw to tamper with alien technologies that should be left alone... and release a menace on the whole of the galaxy.

I read that April 1st post a long time ago, before i made my account here.  I've loathed the care bears ever since.

You and me both.

Who would hate the Vasari more than anyone else?  Their slaves of course.  I believe the Vasari were caught off-guard by a civil war, aided by sympathizers of their own race.  WHo else would have the technology to rival them, and the desire to want them dead so badly they would chase them to the ends of the galaxy?

As to the Dark fleet, how about this to explain everything.  Here's what we know:

Worlds were going dark.

The Dark Fleet was sent in to try to stop this.

One ship returned, badly damaged, with a crew mad with fear.

First, whoever was doing this knew where their worlds were.

The Dark Fleet, i believe, was infiltrated.  Split in two, with many ships aiding the sympathizers and slaves in the battle.

That explains the insanity of the crew.  Think about it.  You arrive to find a handfull of nemy ships, or no ships at all, and suddenly your own fleet starts ramming Phase Missiles up your ass while your guard is down?  That'd drive any soldier nuts.

That's just what i can piece together in this crazy mind of mine.

Im sticking with the soul sucking Care Bears

Definitely the Care Bears. Craig wouldn't lie to us, would he?

And don't forget the nefarious care bear cousins!

Ok, ok.  So it *was* the Taiidan:

The Taiidan have risen under a new leader, the Vaygr warlord named Makaan. He calls himself the Sajuuk-khar, the chosen one; many systems have already fallen under his shadow, and his eyes are set upon Hiigara.

The Vaygr are a warrior clan originally from Vay, an isolated planet in the Eastern Fringes of the galaxy. The discovery of early and inefficient hyperdrives enabled these warriors to travel and raid widely across their sector of space. Always a nomadic race, the strongest warlords brought groups of Vaygr together into crusades. A Vaygr crusade is entirely independent - the build capacity of their Motherships combined with the resource harvesting abilities of their individual craft enable them to live self sufficiently in space. Communication between separate crusades is minimal.

Since that time, the Vaygr have integrated many separate races, civilizations and technologies. The planet Vay is lost in the sands of time, the name they take its only living reminder. Constant infighting between separate crusades and jockeying for position among warlords has kept the Eastern Fringe a warzone for as long as any can remember, and therefore no threat to the larger galactic civilizations.

Until now. Under the guidance of the Warlord Makaan, the various tribes of the Vaygr Reaches have formed into a cohesive force. While still operating independently, the overall strategic aims of the Vaygr have been coordinated and focused by Makaan, a master strategist.

Their recent acquisition of a long jump-capable Hyperspace Core has allowed the Vaygr to stage raids into the hearts of enemy territories, while their nomadic lifestyle and mining technology give them a speed and mobility unmatched by any of their opponents.

More a Messiah than Warlord, Makaan has been hailed as the Sajuuk'Khem, the Manipulator of He Whose Hand Shapes What Is, and his people the Sajuuk Khar, The Chosen of God.

As a people, the Vaygr are unrelenting and persistent in combat. Space holds no fear for them, as much of the civilization has never lived planetside. Massive roaming fleets drift through the Vaygr Reaches, stripping minerals and supplies from asteroids and passing comets. Nomads, they have no concept of home, merely lands open to pillage.

Under Makaans rule, they have spread far and wide. None who have stood against the Vaygr have managed to hold them back. The devices they use to strip planets of their mineral wealth leave bare husks of worlds behind. In order to expand, the Vaygr have no choice but to press ever onwards, crushing worlds anew as they do so. Given time, they will have strip mined every habitable planet in the Galaxy.

Utilizing local Hyperspace Gates and high speed Transport Frigates to reach the front line, the Vaygr constitute a high speed, flexible war force. Individual tribal captains lead the battle from the front lines, organizing and coordinating attacks even as they come under fire. Each Vaygr craft is a highly specialized unit, designed to fulfill a single task with lethal efficiency.

Even the vaunted Dark Fleet of the Vasarii have succumed to these predatory zealots!

I'd say an alien race exploring the galaxy stumbled apon the vasari. Seeing the evils they comit, they exterminated them, freed their slaves, and now rule the former vasari empire. Its most likily the vasari's slaves using the alien races ships to hunt the vasari down and finish the job. Or its the care bears.

if you wish to discuss this, there is a better thread called Vasari History and Culture in the general forum category..  It is much farther in depth than this is.  That is, unless you guys like wasting time...

No discussion. Its fact. Care Bears are watching us.

nice. Blacked-out font. *screams "awesome" at top of lungs*

I thought it was fitting

Serious?  Why else would I post Vagyr history?

Honestly I agree with Care Bears. Vasari were uncaring so the Care Bear had a volatile effect on them giving them a horrible rash from another dimension

eewww, rashes from another dimension.

On a side note- there aren't really other dimensions which contain other things. There are currently only proven to be 4- up/down, left/right, forward/backward (3)+time(+1). Thus "spacetime" is abbreviated as "3+1D" (no, not the assumed "4D").

And please do not say anything about string/superstring theory and 10/11/12/26 total dimensions, because quite frankly there is nothing to prove or disprove it.

FEAR THE RASH!!!! If you have the rash, take anti-carebear pills, side effects include, vomitting, stomach upset, an even worse rash from another dimesion, brain damage, internal bleeding, cramping, hairloss, more vomitting, stupidity, explosive diarrhea, lung bursting, lung dropping, extreme constipation, constipated diarrhea, and cancer. ORDER NOW!!!
