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.

Faces of the Thalassi:

None of the galactic races know what is causing the sudden rapid expansion of the universe and the dark matter presence is ever expanding. They are all in battle; racing to collect enough planetary resources and reach for the Grandestiny. It is the spark that will allow an escape to a safer universe and save their galactic race.

The Grandestiny series features 5 primary factions with different motives that ultimately have them vying for power over the galaxies. Capturing planets and stars is the ultimate objective of each race, which benefit greatly from specific resources found on the captured cosmic objects. These resources are what power their military, protect their people, and advance their civilization.

The space drama features complex layers of relational history, cosmic phenomena, and the intra-inter-factional struggle for power. The power dynamics of each race as well as their needs for their people are ultimately what drives their faction to preserve peace… or to project power. Additionally, the protagonists of each group of people have personal histories and aim that add further chaos to the Grandestiny story.

FACTIONS OVERVIEW.

Thalassi. –

A Diverse Race of Galactic Space Tortans from a Liquid Water Galaxy – They are a peaceful and intelligent species of beings that are well adapted to water. These Thalassi beings generally preserve peace and promote the natural evolution of consciousness to all of the life forms in their galaxy. Billions of years of evolution later, the Thalassi evolved to land-dwelling as well as harnessing space flight. They search for the stars to preserve life in the universe.

Heleoss. –

A Race of Galactic Space Avians from an Inferno Solar Galaxy – These militant falcon-like avians have the singular focus of capturing all of the stars and planets in the universe for themselves while denying others of the same. Their goal is to spread the Heleoss empire across the universe through their aggressive military faction doctrine – Sparra Magnest.

Syntheons. –

A Swarm Race of Sentient beings evolved from Dark Matter in the outer edges of the universe – These strange “death-forms” appeared and coalesced from mysterious Enigmite matter. Aside from the complete destruction and collapse of all lifeforms in their path, it is unknown their goal or ultimate objective. As it appears, these dark matter beings have already captured most of the universe and are close to seizing it all completely.

Aergaen. –

A collective race of Aergans (humanoid carbon-based lifeforms) spread across galaxies like the Milky Way – The Aergan Faction’s aim is the search for knowledge of the universal origin and purpose. To do so, their goal is to gain resources and expand their civilization to further their understanding of the cosmos. There are many types of Aergans living in different galaxies and serving different factions. The human race was just one of many Aergan offspring disconnected in the galaxy.

Varena. –

An advanced Race of Silica based lifeforms from an irregular Silicon Galaxy – Not much is known about these cryptic argillaceous life forms. They are supernatural and intelligent beings that wield powerful cosmic powers. As they remain hidden in the cosmos, so is the knowledge of great cosmic secrets. Their goals and aims remain a mystery.
