Eons ago, the ancient
Progenitors
constructed six Planetary Manifolds, which they
intended as massive experiments into sentience on a gigantic scale. One
of the Manifolds,
in the Tau Ceti system, achieved an early sentience, gaining the
ability to project undreamt-of power across the galaxy. The
"Flowering", as this event was called, engulfed numerous star systems
and plunged Progenitor culture into a dark age from which it has not
fully recovered. In the ensuing millenia of chaos and fragmentation,
the locations of the Six Manifolds were lost.
