The existence of subspace can be traced back to extremely ancient times, and the endless ancient knowledge contained in it is enough to drive any scholar who studies it crazy.
However, its significance is extremely significant. For most races, being able to develop a ship engine that can enter subspace means that the race has the qualifications to set foot in the galaxy.
In ancient times that have not been recorded in much information, mankind relied on this technology as the cornerstone and almost developed into a powerful empire that surpassed the entire galaxy. It was an unknown past called the Dark Age of Technology, and it was also A golden future that is currently out of reach of mankind.
At any time, any historian will come to a desperate end in this life-long work.
Yes, in that ancient era where prosperity and chaos coexisted, too much data has been damaged by irreversible entropy, too many precious technologies have been lost, and every human's reason that tries to explore the truth will eventually be devoured by madness. .
On top of their corpses that still retain their crazy faces, there are only some broken, ancient, and even incomprehensible information. There is only a brief record of a brutal war called the 'Iron Rebellion', as well as its results and impact: Humanity's development towards a new future was completely cut off by this indescribable huge chaos - called AI. Intelligent technology has since been abandoned, and a large number of ancient technologies have been sealed away. Most of those who know the secrets have been turned into powder in the torrent of time, and most of those who explore the secrets have been tainted by madness.
The human empire, on the other hand, could only stumble forward.
However, the good times did not last long. Since the human empire slowly and tiredly reached the twenty-fifth millennium, the chaotic storm from the subspace has thrown the corpses of the ancient empire into the entire galaxy. The long era called the "Era of Strife" has completely begun. This not only caused the dirty energy from subspace to gradually infiltrate the physical universe, but also completely blocked the connections between the human empires in the dark technological age.
From then on, the dark technological era where reason and progress once existed has been called the 'Old Night' by humans struggling to survive in the endless darkness.
If the Iron Man Rebellion was a nearly fatal blow to the human empire, then this subspace storm born from the corpse of the ancient empire completely tore the human empire into pieces.
When the boundless darkness completely shrouds the sky above every world, any ship that goes to the subspace to try to find the rich route of the past will lose contact. In the terrifying silence among the stars, countless humans in the entire galaxy In the world, all rationality has completely collapsed as if it has lost its foundation - their pride has been completely defeated by the endless darkness, and their order continues to regress in madness and atrocities.
Obviously, the impact of this subspace storm was far more serious than humans imagined. This subspace storm that completely disintegrated the human empire lasted for five thousand years. During this period, countless lost human worlds were destroyed by various aliens. Occupied and oppressed by mutants or even dirtier cultists.
This has led to the fact that people who are contaminated by the cursed energy from the subspace are everywhere today.
Mage, wizard, psyker. Their names are different in every world, and the only characteristic of this group of people is that they have an extremely close connection with the subspace. With this strange talent that surpasses ordinary people, they can often be in the place where they are. To control the wind and rain in the lost world...or introduce more dangerous and filthy things into this world.
Chaos and ignorance continued until the 30th millennium. After five millennia of endless darkness, the huge warp storm that swept across the galaxy finally slowly dissipated.
A new empire originating from the human home planet of Terra was re-established, and on the flaming sword of the Lord of Humanity, a magnificent war began to launch an expedition across the galaxy.
Yes, to this day, the Human Empire still uses the ancient subspace engine - however, today is different from the past. In the dark universe of the 30th millennium, there is nothing like plunging into the chaotic subspace. There are more dangerous things to come. The subspace that has gone through the entire era of strife is filled with dangers that are difficult to understand and can dissolve reason.
Moreover, in subspace, the concepts of time and space do not exist at all.
When a ship sails from the most stable subspace rift in the sector, the Mandeville Point, into a relatively stable subspace channel, it may arrive at its destination too early or too late. land.
You can go back to the past from the future, and you can go from the past to the future.
Due to its extremely special characteristics, the subspace channel in the 30th millennium, where dangers and unknowns are everywhere, is extremely dangerous.
No matter where and when, one must carefully follow the opened subspace route.
Once caught in the turbulence and storm of this sea of souls, anyone will know that the next voyage will be full of dangerous unknowns, whether they are surrounded by dangerous subspace creatures or in the excessive During the long journey, the supplies are exhausted, or they are simply swept into the storm and are completely lost, never to return to the material universe.
However. Even though various crises are always surrounding this chaotic and unknown sea, the great journey of the human empire can only rely on this dangerous way to sail across the star sea - because people who have experienced the era of strife no longer want to wait for the rebirth of new technology. , that glorious past has long been an unknown ancient history. For humans who have struggled through five thousand years, the moment they can return to the starry sky from the endless darkness is enough to be moved.
In fact, no one knows when the next large-scale subspace storm will come, and no one knows whether the age of strife that has been painful enough for mankind will become another old night.
Therefore, on Terra, the home planet of mankind, the Lord of Humanity built a majestic structure called the 'Star Torch'. It guides the unparalleled majestic spiritual energy of the Lord of Mankind, igniting blazing light in the subspace that can illuminate the entire galaxy, and is used to guide human ships no longer lost on the subspace route.
In this way, during the short period of time when the subspace storm dissipates, the human empire can recover the lost worlds scattered throughout the galaxy along a still safe route.
This was also the basis for the Lord of Mankind's Great Crusade across the galaxy.
This is also the basis for the Twelfth Legion's courage to sail directly into the subspace.
No matter when and where, the light from Holy Terra will protect their way forward and no longer lose their way.
