Overview
The Former Gorg Collective, as it is sometimes referred to, is a governmental entity formed around the ancient hivemind of the Gorg Collective, which has its origins in the Gamma Quadrant of the Milky Way Galaxy. Almost every aspect of their society remains shrouded in mystery, and there are multiple theories as to what their true motivations are. Today, they have fallen silent, along with the rest of the ancient and enigmatic civilizations of the First One Alliance. Their military might and industrial base is considered immense, but no proof exists either way as to whether or not they are all they say they are. During the Gorg War they used some form of assimilation. This has been these days declared as the Gorg assimilation.
Origins
The Gorg species became an interstellar, space-faring government
thousands of years ago, expanding from their homeworld of Brace
in the Gamma Quadrant of the Milky Way Galaxy. They found their
galaxy full of other governments, much like the younger races
after them; among their galactic neighbors were the T-Race, The
Great Lightness and the La'Fin, some of which had their origins
in other galaxies. The time periods involved between the first
contacts between the Gorg and the aforementioned First One
governments are unknown, and could range from anything from mere
years to hundreds of years.
Age of Conflict
What is known is that at some point, a great war broke out between
the Lightness, the Gorg and the La'Fin, and that the Gorg and the
La'Fin allied during the course of the war. Unfortunately, the T-
Race then joined forces with the forces of the Great Lightness.
The details are sketchy; it is not known what the issues involved
were, but it is said that the war took a very short time, a mere
fourteen days. After the conflict had been settled, an era of peace
and prosperity followed.
Healer contact
Years upon years later, the Gorg got involved in a first contact
situation with an enigmatic extragalactic species known only as
"the Healers." It is said that their hivemind and the various
modifications to the original form of their bodies were initially
established with Healer technology. They made their previously
humanoid bodies into a bizarre fusion of energy-based, organic and
mechanical life, and hard-wired their minds to form one greater,
united consciousness.
There was another war at this point, with a species so old and
distant no-one in our galaxy is familiar with them. Archeologists
and historians have also placed the mass exodus of various ancient
precursor species, known as the "first of the first", at this time
period. Vast numbers of colonized worlds were abandoned as entire
civilizations disappeared, leaving their homes and creations behind.
Their artifacts are still found on recolonized worlds all over the
Galaxy.
La'fin Wars
50 years later, there is another memory of a war in the group
consciousness of the Gorg, fought against the La'Fin. It began with
the La'Fin attacking the Great Lightness, aided by another nameless
government. The conflict soon escalated into a Galaxy-spanning
turmoil, involving all the governments of the time, including the
T-Race and the Healers. The details, again, are painfully sketchy
and unclear to us; but it is known that after 60 days of combat, the
nameless species withdrew themselves from the war, and the La'Fin
suffered greatly before admitting defeat. This conflict was known
as the La'Fin War.
Another age of unrest soon followed. The Second La'Fin War, as it is called, was an extermination campaign, led by the Gorg, the T-Race, the Lightness, and the Healers, along with two other name- less species, that had a simple goal: The total elimination or neutralization of every La'Fin colony and ship. While the genocide was not total, it ensured the La'Fin would not be coming back. The last of the survivors of this holocaust disappeared somewhere beyond the Galactic Rim, driven away from their very galaxy.
Exodus
The time passes again. The Gorg Collective thrives in its home,
within the borders of the Milky Way. Until one day, the time has
come for another mass exodus, this time of the next generation. The
generation the Gorg are part of. Entire sectors are abandoned and
vacated in the matter of days. The reason for this peculiar behaviour
is not known; it is the theory of some that the elder species, the
First Ones, as they are known in literature today, felt it was time
to move on, and let the younger species thrive. This, however, goes
against their observed behaviour later on.
While the mass of the First One civilizations left our galaxy, they
left behind observers. When they detected traces of new civilizations
emerging, they signalled their presence to the rest of the Gorg
Collective, who from their extra-galactic hiding place deviced a
bizarre 'test' of survival for the younger species. They sent fleet
upon fleet of heavily armed assault vessels across the Rims of the
Galaxy to engage the fleets of the younger governments, but left a
critical design flaw in them - Shields that could be bypassed with
some research. The conflict that followed is known as the Gorg
War among the peoples of the Milky Way today.
Lightness War
The Gorg begun the expansion to the Milky Way Galaxy during the Lightness War. No one noticed that as everyone was too busy fending off the Lightness invasion. After the war they established connection to the younger races and claimed to be the remains of the Gorg Collective. Later on they revealed to be the same Gorg the younger races had engaged before.
After the formation of the Interplanetary Alliance the Gorg gave full support to them and assisted them in the GA-IPA Conflict. After the conflict the First ones established the Intergalactic Alliance with the IPA.
The Gorgs assisted, along with the rest of the first ones, the younger races against the Emissaries.
