History of the Harvesters

The Harvesters originally built their civilization as a vast underground complex beneath the surface of Razanna. They had dominated all life, removing creatures whom they deemed invasive and attempting to structure a perfect world.

Eventually, the Hive Masters realized that Razanna was not the only world in the universe. When they came to the conclusion that imperfect life existed above the icy surface, they began serious study in space exploration. They would have many civil wars arguing if technology was really the best route for their kind.

The Harvesters soon spread beyond their home system, and they began to build colonies on whatever life bearing planets they could. And soon enough, they had begun discovering other sapient life. Most were earthbound civilizations and easy to conquer.

The Harvesters eventually got into their own disagreements on the treatment of captured aliens. Some sought to rule them with brutality and fear (known as the Iron Fists) while others thought the they should be treated benevolently. It was a terrible religious debate as to whether it was right for their subjects to know whether or not they should be aware of their ultimate fate as parts for other aliens. An event known as the Fourteen Year War took place in Harvester history with the benevolent ones coming out on top. From that point, any Harvester who supported Iron Fist ideals would be executed via incineration. The animosity between the two factions continues to this day.



Since this event, the Harvesters and the Delson Hegemony had been locked in a brutal war which is far from coming to an end.
