Year 600Slask and Alerish went through their races, teaching them the ways that they had wanted them to learn before. The Salmass were the first to learn, the ways of kin were taught to the Salmass, and the berserkers remained, but they were much more self protective, it is an honor to die for ones kin, but the longer you live, the more you can serve, and so the selfless Salmass would fight hopless battles, but oly when no other option showed itself, and so the Salmass population slowly recoverd. The Salmass als finally realised their dreams, and this led to the creation of the Dreamer caste, who would be the experts at interpreting the dreams sent by Alerish, these dreamers led the Salmass to a sudden technological revolution, things lke metalworking, farming, quarrying, lumbering, all led to a period of Salmass dominance, religion slowly died and Alerish was recognised not as a God, but as a guider who must have some kind of mortal form, clans grew in size, from tree towns, to tree villages and in some cases, tree cities, the Salmass population boomed, they charged into combat wielding metal spears, axes and even metal swords, their homes were nearly unassailable and they farmed up many creatures, using some for battle, giant beasts were goaded into combat, they dominated warfare. The Vorglockie fared worse off, better than before, but still worse off. The arena challanges showed even further to them that Slask was the true god who must be worshipped, and there was much competition between hives for dominance in the arena, and in efforts to get better tech in image of that which they used in the arena, an arms race began and the Vorglockie developed metal working and superior bows. Wings amongst the soilders became common, and the scouts began to take over the role of basic soilder, making the Vorglockie armies much larger, the queens shrunk in size, and the hives went from millions to tens of thousands, the idea of multple princes however, failed as the princes refused to cooperate with other princes for hive dominace, but when hives joined they kept most of theri independance, simply working together for a common goal, so in a simgle non meta hive, only one prince reigned supreme. The prince guard and queen guard also kept their independance, refusing to lessen their roles but the power of the ornalords did increase as their advice began to be far more listened to, psionics became a ar more common sight and soon all queen and prince guard wielded psionic abilities and it even was shown in some warriors, the creation of smaller hives and meta hives led to smaller territories which led to a population growth as well, however the larvae wars and the increadable desire to protect ones larvae crippled the Vorglockie's unity thus lessening the number of meta hives and, as the need to defend ones larvae grew, many reasources and soilders were lost trying to defend and take larvae which further resulted in the rising dominance of the Salmass, and the population did rise, but not as much as one would expect. By this year the Salmass dominance had skyrocketed and they owned 63% of the planet, the Vorglockie were quickly becoming the underdogs in this war. Meanwhile, in space, two special events happened, the first Life Ships were born, massive creations with thick armour, increadable psionics and powerful energy cannons, they grew in number quite rapidly and soon there were at least twelve thousand Life Ships in orbit above the planet. Meanwhile multiple lesser races began to pass the planet, many stopping to try and view the planet, however the Life Ships stopped them, but soon a race of bipeds, arrived above orbit, they were sent skyrocketting towards the planet and soon about twleve hundred were on the surface. And so the war continues.Slask was begining to confuse Shaleskia, he was setting his own race against itself, and while the hierach was impressed with the induviduals fighting style, the races disunity was allowing the Salmass to dominate the planet, still shaking her head she began to think about the Life ships, they had proven their worht as no interearence was shown and so the Ataqalaas could not be blamed for the destruction of so many ships, however a human ship had fallen from orbit, she tried t remember what she new about human techonogy, they were a primitive race, relying on other spieceies to transport themselves around the galaxy and they still relied on progectile weaponry, but a ship this far from the human sectors was strange, earth was at least fifteen hundred light years away from here, thinking on this Shaleskia went back over the broadcast the shi[p had made when falling from space.
PZZZZT... This is commander ZZZT... of the earth space army ZZZZZZT... missed our jump, stupid ZZZT... no idea of where we are and under attack by unknown hostiles, PZZZT... we're crash landing PZZZZT HOLD ON EVERYONE!... BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP
You shake your head sadly, these humans were a military expidition, they could threaten the project, however they were on limited reasources, in unknown territory and only twelve hundred were no threat to the races, the entire Salmass race was about seven hundred million strong and the Vorglockie were about five hundred million strong, the humands were no threat, and the wildlife alone would be enough to sevearly damage them, still.
