OVERVIEW

Known as the "Plague of the Northern Milky Way," the Sahurian Parasites - classified by humans - are a highly aggressive, parasitic insect species originating from the planet Nibiru in the Lazendus system. Their existence revolves around one singular instinct: survival through relentless expansion. These creatures form vast colonies each ruled by a central queen, and they stop at nothing to ensure their dominance. Among their most notable victims are the Maleros people of the neighboring planet Fronos, who suffered greatly under their spread.

HISTORY

According to records preserved within the Library, the Sahurian Parasites' origin traces back to the remote northern reaches of the Milky Way, where they shared their homeworld, Nibiru, with another dominant species known as Floaters. For much of their history, these two species engaged in an unending struggle for control over the planet’s surface. The Floaters, a unique lifeform capable of gliding effortlessly on Nibiru’s powerful winds, held the advantage, forcing the Parasites underground where they festered in darkness for centuries.

Despite the Floaters' advantage, the Parasites possessed a trait their rivals did not: overwhelming reproduction rates. Their numbers swelled beneath the surface, unseen and unnoticed until the moment their long-awaited vengeance arrived. In what became a pivotal month in Nibiru’s history, the Parasites launched a brutal resurgence that swarmed the Floaters in an apocalyptic wave. Simple eradication was not their goal, domination was.

The Parasites, having bid their time underground, evolved a dastardly trait: they could infest the Floaters' bodies, taking control of their nervous systems and puppeteering them from within. Once only land-bound, the Parasites now soared across the skies of Nibiru, now wielding their once-oppressors as living vessels. With this newfound mobility, they were no longer confined to the underground. They ruled the air. It was the beginning of their unstoppable conquest.

Like its neighboring world, Fronos, the planet Nibiru benefited immensely from the transformation of its parent star. As Laznedus transformed from a red dwarf into a red giant, the system’s Goldilocks zone shifted outward, bringing both planets into an era of unprecedented habitability. Nibiru became a lush, green paradise teeming with life, though its unpredictable weather patterns made survival a constant challenge.

However, with the Parasites' rapid conquest of Nibiru’s surface, their presence reshaped the planet in a way no natural force ever had. As they spread across the land, they released vast clouds of spores, corrupting the very soil they walked upon. The native plant life responsible for maintaining Nibiru’s oxygen-rich atmosphere through photosynthesis fell victim to the insidious fungal-like infection. Over time, the planet’s biosphere underwent a grotesque transformation - a forced terraformation - altering the air itself into an environment more suitable for the Parasites.

Meanwhile, the Floaters that had formerly ruled the sky faced extinction. Their numbers dwindled rapidly as their total population fell to infection, enslavement, or outright slaughter. The surviving Floaters retreated into isolated sanctuaries, forming small, desperate colonies in an attempt to preserve what remained of their species.

Only a handful of regions on Nibiru remained unscathed. These so-called Green Veins were all that was left of a pure Nibiru. These rare pockets of land, relics of the planet’s true, untainted past, stood in stark contrast to the rest of the world, now blanketed by the Parasites' corruption.

For the Floaters, Nibiru had become a stolen home. A world that once belonged to them was now a twisted battlefield, where survival was their only remaining purpose.

The Suffering of the Maleros and the Archangels' Intervention

The Maleros, often jokingly referred to as "space Greeks," shared their celestial neighborhood with two other species: the Floaters and the Sahurian Parasites. Unlike the primitive, instinct-driven parasites, the Maleros were a highly advanced species born on Fronos. Their progression was rapid in both technology and space exploration, allowing for a rather quick space-faring age early in the species' lifetime.

With their sights set on interplanetary expansion, the Maleros chose Nibiru as their first destination. As members of the Sahuri Homo genus, the planet seemed an ideal candidate for colonization. Little did the Maleros know that expeditions to Nibiru would lead towards their unmaking. Unmanned probes in orbit around Nibiru had already sent concerning readings, warning of hostile biological activity on the surface. Yet, overconfident in their advanced technology and the heavy armaments of their spacecraft, the Maleros dismissed the dangers and proceeded with a manned landing mission.

Upon touching down, the Maleros were greeted by a deceptively serene landscape: they had landed in one of the few surviving remnants of Nibiru’s original ecosystem. Encouraged by the sight, they pushed forward, conducting an exploratory expedition into what they called "Red Zones." These Zones are the rest of Nibiru, subsumed by the Parasites. They never stood a chance.

The Parasites descended upon them in an unrelenting swarm, overwhelming them in seconds. At first, the Maleros' armored suits held firm, but the parasites had long since adapted to such challenges. Their razor-sharp claws sliced through the Maleros' titanium-aluminum plating as if it were paper. Then came the true horror.

The Parasites didn't simply kill their prey, they possessed them. By burrowing into the brain, they could control their victims like grotesque marionettes, absorbing their knowledge, memories, and skills. The Maleros’ advanced intellect and technological expertise had now become a weapon for the enemy.

Within weeks, the parasites had mastered the intricacies of interplanetary flight. Their new hosts allowed them to operate the very spacecraft that had brought the Maleros to their doom. It didn’t take long before the Parasites set their sights on Fronos.

Like a ticking time bomb in a metal coffin, the stolen Maleros ship hurtled toward the unsuspecting world, carrying a horror beyond imagination. During this, the Archangels, who had been aware of the Maleros and deemed them worthy of contact, soon became alarmed. Something had gone terribly wrong. By the time they realized the full scope of the disaster, it was already too late.

The Lockdown of Northern Sahuri

The Archangels followed a surprisingly simple codex when it came to interaction with developing civilizations: observe, but do not intervene. They respected the natural evolution of other species, preferring not to interfere unless absolutely necessary. But what began as a single colonization attempt was spiraling far beyond containment. It no longer qualified as an "internal affair." A response had to be made.

Several divisions of the Archangel military, long dormant, were deployed to the outermost edges of the Lazendus System, staging their forces on the cold, airless world of Diona, and its moon, Koentus. It was a strategic but desperate move. Unfortunately, the damage had already been done. Several infected Maleros, now assimilated into the parasitic swarm, had been evacuated aboard colony ships, unknowingly spreading the contagion throughout the northern sectors of the Milky Way. The parasites now had access to faster-than-light travel and infrastructure. Containment was no longer an option. This was now a war of attrition.

Once a thriving cradle of biodiversity, the Lazendus System was now officially declared a Warzone. The Archangels issued a sector-wide emergency declaration to their allies, broadcasting alerts across the Sahuri Expanse. All efforts were now focused on containment and extermination.

At the heart of this response stood Diona, transformed into a hardened military hub under the umbrella of the Lazendus Lockdown Protocol. On its bleak surface rose vast Archangelic command facilities, engineered for one purpose: warfare on a galactic scale.

Deployed with staggering precision were the colossal Orbital Angels—a name coined by humans. Delivered by Architectorial Ships from the distant southern reaches of the galaxy, these machines were living weapons. Four were placed in a massive square formation around the Lazendus star, each following complex orbital mechanics to maintain the illusion of a perfect geometric frame enclosing the system. The Archangels had made their decision. They would fight fire with fire.

There was nothing left of Nibiru worth saving. Fronos, too, was falling to the same corruption, sliding into the abyss as a mirror image of its planetary twin. The only remaining untouched body in the system was the gas giant Chalos, a lonely bastion beyond the infected inner belt, separating Diona from the horror.

The Orbital Angels, as previously mentioned, were not built for diplomacy. They were built for war.

Each a monolithic war machine, their sole purpose was annihilation on a planetary scale. Bristling with countless weapons—some so vast they could be seen from orbit, others as small and swift as needles—they were engineered to strike in all directions, at any range.

When the Archangels chose to fight fire with fire, they meant it quite literally. The Orbital Angels delivered apocalyptic payloads: incendiary missiles, streaming torpedoes, and continuous napalm barrages that scorched entire regions of Nibiru from the skies.

From within the deep silos of the orbital platforms, thousands of missile-like torpedoes swarmed outward like a cloud of furious bees, their engines shrieking as they spiraled down toward the infected world. The gas giant Chalos, locked in a convenient orbital alignment, became a strategic slingshot—missiles used it for gravitational assists, redirecting their trajectories to strike the dark corners of Nibiru otherwise unreachable by the Angels' direct line of fire.

To the humans, who had once revered these cosmic sentinels as biblical Archangels, this spectacle was something far more disturbing. What they witnessed was no longer divine. Nibiru had become Hell.

A living prison of flesh and parasite, wrapped in endless chains of infection and madness. The surface was turned into a burning furnace of conscious torment from which there could be no escape. Even among the Archangels themselves, some began to falter.

To extinguish an entire planet, to bathe a living organism in fire, regardless of its lack of empathy or morality—this was not a clean decision.

It was a necessity soaked in guilt. What humans would call an existential crisis, began to gnaw at those who pulled the triggers. When the firestorms finally died down, Nibiru was silent.

Its oceans, vaporized. Its skies, smothered with dense clouds that only trapped more heat. The planet was scorched black—cooked from the inside out. Eventually, Archangel strike teams descended onto the husk. They stepped through snowfalls of ash, boots sinking into the soft grey powder of what had once been jungles, colonies, mountains. Charred fragments of parasite corpses lay scattered beneath them, twisted and motionless, buried in layers of soot and silence.

Nibiru was dead. And they killed it. And Fronos, too, followed in its wake.

What remained was not a victory. It was a warning. Only the beginning.

"They had no morality. No empathy. Only one, simple instinct:
kill to survive—or be killed for disappointing their queen.
They shared that world with the Floaters…
whom they twisted into hollow hosts for their own parasitic needs.

That planet—Nibiru…

Nibiru is dead. And we killed it.

Their blood is on our hands.

We made a promise once—to protect all life within Sahuri.
To stand as guardians, not executioners. But we failed. We brought mercy to the Floaters...
and misery to everyone else through our arrogance. 
Through our mistakes.

Trinity Gods(?) I’m sorry. I’m just so sorry."
