20 Million Years Ago — The humans from the original great migration who settled in the Lyran system close to their ancestral home and who had shunned technological growth, have now evolved over millions of years to the point where they can settle other planets, and explore distant stars — their technological taboos slowly eroded over time.

A new wave of migration began from here, and these cat-like humanoids were surprised to “discover” the many other civilizations that have been developing all around them.

Their common ancestors have been forgotten in the dim mists of ancient myth, and the original Lyran humanoid form has evolved over time (and has also been genetically manipulated) into a wide variety of races with different sizes, features, skin tones and consciousness levels. It seemed to these Lyrans that they were encountering new beings at every corner, when really they were encountering their fellow descendants from their own ancient home.

The priorities of some of these races have shifted over time too, largely due to the influence of the still flourishing reptilian race, the Draco, who’s leaders were the Ciakar.

Some of the humanoid race in Orion, mostly those of the Aryan genotype that had evolved in Vega, have found that they resonate with the Ciakar’s agenda of space exploration and colonization. This cooperation eventually led to the formation of the Orion Empire.

Many in the Galaxy disagreed with the principles of the Empire and its agenda, and many civilizations that had been subjugated by the Draco started to rebel and band together.

This joining of forces led to the Federation of Planets (also known as simply, The Federation), which was formed by civilizations from Lyra, The Pleiades and Hyades star clusters, the Andromeda Galaxy and many other systems.

Since these folks basically had right on their side they were also joined and advised by non-physical beings from both our Universe and beyond. The Federation even got some unexpected volunteers from some reptilian planets whose particular races were more evolved in their consciousness.

One human group from the Pleiades, unwilling to join either side, decided to leave that area of the Universe altogether and eventually settled on what is now called Mars, where they would live for many millions of years and would later play a big role in our local history.

Another branch of this group from the Pleiades settled on Earth and they have been here since that time through many, many cycles of civilization and disaster. Over time, this Pleiadian group moved underground and established the first human underground cities in what would become known as Agartha.

From time to time these folks would cast themselves as “Gods” to surface dwellers who had survived the latest environmental catastrophe and help kickstart civilization again. This group is still around today, living underground.

13 Million YA: The tensions and disagreements between the Federation and the Empire were many and eventually they reached a boiling point.

The war was initially over territory, but it became a war of mind-sets and ideologies.

On the one hand there was a group of human and hybrid races that had joined forces in the Federation. Many of its members recalled well their subjugation at the hands of the Draco, and therefore rejected the ideas of colonization and intervention in other worlds. They became committed to the idea of service-to-others.

On the other hand there was a group of human, hybrid, and reptilian races that believed in service-to-self and saw it as their “manifest destiny” to colonize and assimilate those they conquered — this was The Empire.

The philosophy of service-to-self started out as an innocent enough idea in the minds of those who adopted it. It said that if everybody looked after themselves, then the whole would be taken care of as well, which sounded great. But what soon emerged was a paradigm of service-to-self at the expense of others, resulting in the cycle of victim and oppressor that we are so familiar with on our own planet.

This struggle between The Federation and The Empire became known as the Orion Wars — named such because most of the fighting took place in and around the Orion system. This war lasted literally millions of years and while there were truces and times of greater peace the general trend was one of conflict and countless generations grew up with war, desperation and strife as the norm.
