Description
Template:NEW Conflict Template!The War for All (Commonly called The Fourth Intergalactic War, The Invasion, or The War of Last Resorts) was a massive universal war that lasted for over 10000 years. (between 184367 CE to 195372 CE.) The vast majority of the universe's nations, including the full force of The Galactic Counsel, united against the extra-universal threat that is The Seekers.
This war is commonly cited as the most destructive war in the history of the universe. The War for All claimed the countless lives of many organisms, and what seems like even more ships. The economic damage from the war was also horrendous, something that the universal economy hasn't even fully recovered from.
Preface
The War for All first had its roots when The Seekers were testing a cross-universal device millennia prior. At the time, The Seekers were not very paranoid about extra-universal invaders themselves, and decided that it was best for them to spread. By then, they were a large force in their universe, and shared it with about 4 other empires who still exist to this day. These empires are:
- The Elite Nora
- Sowa Republic
- The Araxis Confederation
- The Suralis Pact
The other four empires know about our universe, but have made no moves to invade it. Contact has been made with all, and they are quite stagnant as of 200000 CE.
The other four empires mostly described us as 'young', or 'on the way to a path of greatness', seeing us as perhaps younger versions of themselves, they opted out of combat when The Seekers asked for small amounts of aid.
In general, all 5 main nations of their universe lived in harmony. They induced checks and balances upon each other, and mostly stayed away from conflict.
The five nations decided that it was best to spread out through a theorized multiverse. If they could channel enough energy to create a massive long-distance wormhole, they thought that it would hit other universes. And so, the conquest began. The Seekers were the main brawn of the project, finding useful shortcuts, and checking for any errors. The other four empires, most notably The Suralis Pact, tested the new theory regularly.
By 180000 CE, The 5 nations had almost cracked the code. They had officially sent probes and test subjects to the other side, captured photographs, and were almost ready to send colonists. They saw that the other universes they saw were mainly empty, and depleted of resources, for some reason. This didn't deter them from reaching their final goal in 180137 CE, though.
In 180137, the Seekers discovered our universe. They saw that it had plentiful resources like their own. It also had the exact same laws of physics as their own universe. It was the perfect candidate for the Seekers to colonize. The seekers began sending many probes into the universe to explore it.
The probes found that our universe was very powerful and on the verge of colonizing other universes. The Seekers saw the vast amount of power and they decided to preemptively invade our universe. Their main goal was to secure resources, but the power of our universe made that mission more urgent.
In 184001, nonillions of harvester ships entered our universe. There were many in almost every galaxy in the local group, and there were many in other civilizations outside the local group. The ships spread throughout the galaxy and began to dismantle planets for resources. A single harvester could harvest an entire planet in over a thousand years. However, each planet that was being harvested had thousands of harvesters raid it.
The Confederacy of humanity saw these ships go back and forth between planets and a mysterious wormhole that was larger than any other ever detected. The Confederacy intervened after 12 planets within it were already totally harvested. The Xa'Thin commonwealth also lost many planets.

This article is planned to be HUMONGOUS! Yeah, like real big. I am going to work on this on and off for probably the next week or so, and it is very much in development right now.
