HISTORY

Many years have passed since your people have left behind the terrible truth. As a powerful and extraordinarily advanced race, your people have mastered all known scientific and racial technologies. But the fruits of research were reaped only through the scourge of war. You now live in peace; a peace that has been so pleasant and long Lasting, the terrible history of vicious conflict is but a vague memory. Until now.

A monstrous race of pirates has razed your fringe colonies, killing every Last citizen. The raiders shocked your high leadership because of the relative ease they sliced through defenses. They are backed by technical apt and vicious prowess only known to one other race… yours. Panic spread throughout your worlds. Citizens demand that something be done… and questions surface about these attackers, who seem strangely familiar.

The high council has appointed you as the military commander to address this threat. During your briefing, you are privy to information that chills your bones. Your people originated on a distant paradise far away. After centuries of clan fighting and contests with other races in the quadrant, your peoples united under a single rule. Your homeworld paid the price, however, and was abandoned via a mass exodus that is described loosely in legends. The shock lies within the details revealed only to you now:

In the process of creating the perfect warrior and elevating scientific knowledge, your people commonly toyed with genetic tests, especially on prisoners from other clans. These horrific tests often resulted in great success, but eventually erupted to a tragedy that could no longer be controlled. The Invulnerable monstrosities created by your scientists turned on their masters and plagued society, slaughtered millions, and poisoned the planet. They could only be stopped by making a drastic choice… to leave home and annihilate anything left behind. Your people did not look back.

The very threat you left behind centuries ago has proved stronger than the final measure employed to stop them. Your currently peaceful race must once take up arms and destroy this danger once for all before it consumes all life as you know it. You must be strong enough to take… The Invulnerable Challenge!

The Nindra's stand in awe of the ghosts from their past who has come to haunt them. Too long they have lived in peace, growing soft and complacent with their achivements.
Only one man has been true to the old warrior code, only one man can lead them. Will the Irresistible force wielded by the man called Primitive be enough ?

Nice work Stone.
What sort of race should we prepare ?

Primitive, unfortunately, to forward the game 100 turns and build up the AI empire, I need to use the same player empire for all players in the tournament.

I will post the details of the player file shortly. I will say that it has all racial techs.
