HXM/ANT History

The following is a copy of the HXM/ANT history according to the previous Leader of the Race:

HXM/ANT Profile/History The Hexamon is a relatively new affiliation in the game introduced in 198 to intensify the game. They were removed for a short time but are now back to stamp their mark on the galaxy.

The exact origins of this race are still a mystery and so a lot of the information here is rumors and myths. What is known is that they were created to serve the Architects 500 years ago. They were to be a replacement to the first slave race created called the Hive. The Hive had been found to be inefficient and not up to the high standards their creators wanted so they redesigned the race and created the Hexamon a similar yet stronger race in all areas. Upon completion the Architects placed them in stasis aboard their craft and several of the Tcath ships to send them to fight in the war with the Dewiek, at that time the Dewiek war was still going strong and it was still relatively undecided. The journey was to take 2 years however for some unknown reason the ships disappeared and was not heard of for 500 years when they reappeared at their original destination of Acrux. They arrived to find a war that had been over for centuries, there masters long gone and their old enemies once more in control of the system. Even though there technology was so old and the galaxy had changed they prepared to fight. They took over the DEN colonies in the system and claimed it for themselves. They quickly tried to build up the colonies and begin production of equipment, as they feared their forces would be destroyed. However the DEN had been in an isolation of its own and had lost allot of its technology so the Hexamon in fact had the advantage over them. In several pitched battles the HXM came out the victors rooting there Enemies forces and splitting there fleet allowing them to destroy them separately. After some titanic battles against the DEN and its new allies the DTR and DOM the Hexamon won and the war was called of. During the war the hexamon lost 2 of their 6 Tcath ships and the others sustained heavy damage which ended up being a deeper wound then their Enemies had believed, as they had no way of getting new living ships to come and help them. After a few Months of rebuilding and gathering information on what had happened they lost hope.

Although now a free Race they were trapped in a hostile galaxy far away from their creators protection and guidance. The Living ships, which they viewed almost as gods were weak and would not be able to face, another onslaught, which they feared, would be coming. It was decided to evacuate the system and retrace there steps back home. They split into 3 groups. The advanced group left immediately and was never heard of again. The second group was made up of the 4 TCA ships, which would follow as soon as they had loaded up and regained enough strength, they never departed and ended up going to help another race. The third group was to construct more transports and loads up all the equipment captured and demolish the colonies. However before the third group could finish the 3D alliance attacked and this time destroyed all but a small group of Hexamon who fled in an escape pod. And so the HXM were gone...

A few weeks later an escape pod appeared over the KAS colony Rubis. They asked for protection and equipment to setup a new home. They had lost the information needed to get home and lacked ships and equipment to attempt to trace or contact the rest of their race. A colony was setup and the Hexamon decided it was no use trying to get home and focused on building up a new empire. After a lot of scouting they discovered the system Wastelands was uninhabited and claimed the planet Sahara as their new homeworld. All went well and they explored, built up their colonies and traded. They decided to make Wastelands the capitol colony. However a trade disagreement with the FCN caused a rouge faction within the Hexamon to openly protest the Hexamon policies towards other races. They went unheard and decided to move to the Yank colony where they had supporters for the cause. Several weeks after they had left the FCN invaded and captured the colony of Wastelands leaving the HXM with its colony in Yank. In an attempt to secure themselves the Hexamon applied and was granted membership into the Flagritz Republic as a charted affiliation. However this alliance did not fair well as the Hexamon found that the Flagritz views conflicted with there own and they were forced to pull out. Again the rouge factions spoke out about Hexamon views on other races but were ignored again. They decided to take action and seized control of the Yank colony. They declared the Hexamon dead and changed to the ANT a peaceful race looking to change the way everyone saw them. They went through a period of isolation. Not sure who were friends and who were enemies. During this time the built up supplies and decided to open diplomatic relations with the IMP and its chartered Affiliations. The talks went well securing the ANT some much-needed friends. After a lot of Scouting and exploring they found a suitable world and ask for permission to build on it. They were overwhelmed by the helpfulness of the IMP so much that they decided to open talks with the Flagritz. Again the talks were an overwhelming success. The ANT decided to let everyone know of their existence and that they were willing to trade. Soon after they were approached buy many races all wanting friendship. The Story of the DNA stuck in the hearts of the ANT because it was similar to their own plight. They have commenced talks and only time will tell how the young ANT race does. They may be peaceful but they have the means to defend themselves if needed be. They will never allow the Hexamon belief of crush and destroy rule them again. Will they survive with their new found friends or will the all powerful ARC return and enslave the race once again..........
