Story: “Long ago when the universe began from a time before time, one of the first life forms that emerged from the primordial universe were beings from the galactic cluster Alfes.
Their homeworld, Tridenia, was one of the first to have life forms due to its abundance of water throughout its galaxy. Each star system within were a host of planets, teeming with diverse life and all manners of fauna. Being the first to form and the most long lived creatures, the Tortavians naturally survived, grew, adapted to become the dominant life form of their planets.
Sea tortans on the planet eventually crossed onto sand and became land tortans..
and through billions of years.. rose to become Tortavians (translated: Flying Tortans)
The Tortavians have had billions of years to evolve. They use no electronic or machine technology in the way that is commonly known. A bio-organic field technology fused from the aquatic living jelly. In their home world, they were fortunate to have an abundance of Aquaveon Jelly.
A thick and viscous concentrated watery jellified liquid organism that is rich in limitless vitalic energy and packed with prismatic healing nutrients. The Tortavians were first able to use it by consuming it. Later they were able to adapt and fully utilize its potential for direct cellular inversion: hydrosyntheosis.
Hydrosyntheosis is the process through consumption of Aqua Jelly and transmuting its power from pure quantum energy. The effect of this power is boosting as well as restoring quantum energy states. Tortavians could direct its energy into beam weapons, provide self healing and directed evolution through adapting mutations, as well as harness self propelled flight.
For the Thallasi, Aquaveon Jelly is their key survival and advancement resource as a galactic species. The living Aqua Jelly can be consumed for food, hydration, and rejuvenating vitality. It is no wonder that the Tortavians are nearly immortal. If left alone with the jelly, they do not die. Rather they keep growing and growing over eons. However, when consumed for the purpose of self adapta-genesis, they can form adaptive hardened shell armor, channel the energy into beams of intense energy light, and even propel themselves to the stars.
Extremely “well aged” Tortavians grow large enough to become buildings or structures for their civilization. And after a million years old, they eventually undergo the Alpheon Ritual; a process whereby colossal Tortavians commit thru transmutation to become a gigantic flying spaceship called a Thallossus. They serve their civilization as the ultimate sacrifice to help their kind travel and settle among the stars.
For eons and eons, the Thallasi have battled Heleoss and held their menace at bay. However, they are losing the fight now with the arrival of the Syntheons, Sentient Dark Matter destroyers from the edges of the universe..
The war with the Heleoss:
The stars glittered in the night sky, creating a breathtaking canvas for the coming conflict. The two civilizations had been at odds for centuries, their conflict stretching back to the beginnings of their species. Now, the two sides were poised to clash once more in a struggle that would determine the fate of the galaxy.
On one side were the Thalassi, a race of calm, strong and sturdy space tortan people. They had evolved from the ancient tortans of Ulfes. For millions of years, they slowly advanced in intelligence and technology. A Kardashev type 4 civilization. Capable of space flight and of defending their planets and colonies. The Thalassi were a peaceful people, dedicated to protecting and preserving the galaxy.
On the other side were the Heleoss, an aggressive and militaristic race of fire bird people. They had evolved from the ancient avians of Magmendor, and had also advanced in intelligence and technology. Like the Space Turtles, they were a Type 4 Civ, but their ambitions went far beyond protecting their own homeworlds. The Heleoss sought to dominate and colonize other galaxies, and were willing to destroy everything to accomplish their goals.
The Battle of the Galaxies had been raging for centuries between the Thalassi and Heleoss. Both races had evolved to the point that they were capable of space flight, and had been fighting for control of the galaxies for many millennia. The Thalassi had always been a peaceful people, content to exist in their own corner of the universe. They were a very strong and sturdy people, protecting all lifeforms in their galaxy with a strong sense of justice and morality.
But the Heleoss were a different story altogether. They were an aggressive and militaristic people, always looking to expand their reach and power. They wanted to control and dominate other galaxies, and so they set their sights on the galaxy of the space turtles. The fire birds launched a full-scale invasion of the space tortans’ galaxy, determined to seize control of the resources and planets within it. But the Thalassi had a plan of their own. They had organized a powerful defense force and were determined to protect their galaxy from the invading murderers.
For millenia, the two sides engaged in a fierce battle, with the fire birds launching wave after wave of attacks against the Thalassi defenses. But the space tortans held firm, that is until the new invaders came. The Syntheons.
