abstract
  • The Swarm War, also known as the Black Century and the Great War, was a devastating pan-galactic conflict that arose after The Swarm, a violent insectoid species, invaded the galaxy. The war engulfed the entire Galaxy for a span of forty five years, during which period the Swarm slowly but unstoppably pressed nearer the galactic core, invading and capturing their populations and leaving a trail of razed planets in their wake. The Swarm, dependent on organic hosts for survival and masters of biotechnology, overwhelmed the combined efforts of the Unified Coalition of Governments and its constituent nations, emerging victorious from battle after battle due to superior tactics, efficient biotechnology and sheer numerical superiority. Although the Swarm War began in earnest in 2633, in actual fact first contact occurred on the planet of Radiance in 2557, a remote colony on the rim of the galaxy. The Swarm wiped out the population and then left, leaving no trace of their nature remaining for the colony's discovery nine months later. The Swarm observed the galaxy for a over a century before launching their all-out assault, slowly encroaching into the heart of the galaxy. The war cost the lives of over 850 trillion sentient beings and devastated or destroyed over sixty five million worlds. The galaxy did not recover from the Swarm War for at least a millennium after the defeat of the Swarm, though some historians its effects could be observed for much longer afterwards than this.
  • Each individual bud was part of a branch, and each branch was comprised of up to ten thousand buds. Branches rained down on various land masses, striking all major inhabited continental land masses, save Australia. Swarm buds landed in four places in North America: New Jersey; Kentucky, south of Louisville; both sides of the U.S.-Mexican border at McAllen, Texas; and a diffused landing at Manitoba. The New Jersey attack came up against a formidable counter-attack when the Turtle threw himself into the fray. He simply scooped up enumerable ranks of the first generation Swarm buds and released them high in the air. The Howler, Modular Man, Mistral and Pulse also added their power to that front along with elements of the National Guard. Modular Man's precision armaments had limited value against the hordes, although his analytical computer brain was invaluable for assessing their numbers and movements, while the aces each had their unique talents to draw on. The marines, air force, and navy also added their firepower to the fray to bring the Swarm advance to a halt on the outskirts of Philadelphia. Golden Boy was seen wading into the Kentucky assault, battering back the enemy with an uprooted tree. Cyclone, like his daughter further north, fought the Swarm in Texas with his power to control raging winds, and even his personal camera crew equipped automatic weapons to pitch in. The Texas Swarm buds were then driven back across the Mexican border by forces from Forts Bliss, Hood, and Polk, the fliers decimated by widespread use of Vietnam-era defoliants. One branch of the Swarm dropped right into the midst of military exercises in the north of Germany and were promptly routed by the British Army before they could properly assemble. A branch landing around the Greek-Turkish-Bulgarian border brought a haphazard reaction from the disparate forces of the region and taught the Swarm that human resistance was not a co-ordinated effort. The Swarm had better effect in third-world countries where human resistance was comparatively slight, and the super powers were generally too preoccupied with their own resistance to lend immediate aid. The Swarm invaded Poland, the Ukraine, and at least two places in Siberia. The Soviets resorted to a nuclear air burst in response to the Siberian attack, detonating at least two nuclear devices.
