Description

The Sovereign class Reaper in flight mode.

Millions of years ago the aquatic Leviathans, a highly advanced species dominated the Galaxy as the Apex race. With their longevity they watch the same pattern in organic life over and over again. Civilizations are evolving, creating synthetic life and are wiped out by them. As the apex race the Leviathans saw all other civilisations as servant species, but a dead race can not serve. So, the Leviathans created the Catalyst, a AI with the objective to preserve knowledge and life itself. The Catalyst comes to the conclusion that every advanced species must be harvested on their pinnacle of evolution to save the younger species and create space for a new cycle of life. The Catalyst betrayed the Leviathans, and used them for the first harvest. Their knowledge was preserved in the first Reaper, a giant sentient machine formed after the image of the Leviathans. A cycle of destruction began which repeated every 50,000 years and culminated in the creation of a new Reaper for every harvested species.
