Many eons ago, in the farthest reaches of the multiverse, a child was born unto an impoverished family. The father worked in a factory that just barely allowed for him to provide the most meager and simplest of living for his family. The mother once from one of the most prominent working class families, was now disowned for the man she chose to marry. This fall in wealth meant the family didn't have proper health insurance. This coupled with the birth of their son caused the mother to eventually fall sick.
In this world the birth of a first born son was usually a joyous occasion for any first time father. Well. Usually that is. However this particular father was sad and regretful. He too had once been a prominent member of the working class families. He had met his wife during the last year of mandatory teaching before becoming an official adult. Both families met and got along.
However about three weeks before the wedding, an unknown incident occurred between the two head families and both parents respectively told their child to call it off and was forbidden from seeing each other as both families were enemies and was at war with each other. But being in love as they were, the two still chose to get married against their parents wishes and as a result were disowned. On their wedding night, they vowed to never bring a child into this world until they could provide better. But one poor choice on the night of his wedding anniversary and nine moons later his first born son was born. And instead of joy the father only felt sorrow for the pain and suffering for the life he had brought into this world.
And suffer the child did. His birth brought on a sickness to his mother. It wasn't fast either but a slow and painful sickness that took her life when the child was five. Six weeks after his mother died from her sickness, the child's father was so overcome with grief that he neglected proper safety procedures at work and an explosion took his life. Having been disowned years before he was even born, the child was left to become a street urchin to develop the necessary skills to survive.
At thirteen the boy found himself in a situation that allowed him to learn the truth of his family lineage and he swore an oath of vengeance against those whom he held personally responsible for the death of his parents and how his life had turned out thus far. That one oath of vengeance changed the entire course of that planet forever. As the boy grew, his oath influenced the decisions and connections he made. By the time he was a young adult, he had acquired all that he needed and thus he started down his path of vengeance.
For three decades he waged a war of vengeance that started with the complete extermination of his paternal grandparents and their families and any that got in his way and ended with the near destruction of his planet and him as the sole ruler of it and its remaining populace thus making him the First King. With this new found power and position came fountains of knowledge. The elite of the rich of his previous world had access to privileges only heard of in fairy tales. Only one however, held any interest to the First King: immortality. The perfect way to consolidate his new found power and position.
However true immortality was still a distant dream. But with the technology and knowledge he now had access to, he could now live for another 7.5 - 8 thousand years on average. In fact the oldest person from his old world had been between 9 and 9.2 thousand years old before the First King killed him.
And so for the next thousand years or so, the world found peace and prosperity under the reign of the First King. However like always when a new power takes control, there are those who are resentful of the new ways and cling to the old. And so two and a half thousand years after the First King took his throne, his reign of peace and prosperity came to a crashing end with the fall of an uprising in an attempt to over throw him. Unfortunately the ring leaders of the rebellion were composed of several surviving members of his paternal grandparents' families and they escaped his snuffing out of the rebellion. With their escape came a war that consumed the entire planet as they sought to annihilate the First King and he them.
For the next three thousand years, the First King and the Rebel Leaders waged a war against each other all across the planet. This constant state of war brought on the uprising of different factions that tore the Great Kingdom asunder as each faction sought to establish its own borders and rulers. The First King sought out and destroyed these Factions but for each one he razed to the ground, several more would seemingly spring up in its place almost as if done over night. By the time the war had been going on for three thousand years, only the Capital was still in the possession of the First King and he was surrounded on all sides by his enemies. It was now only a matter of time before the First King lost the Capital, throne and everything else.
Half the Royal Guard, the staff, nobles, common folk, and peasantry of the Capital all abandoned the King to join one faction or another. Even those of the Royal Guard who remained in the Castle, had turned on the First King and only remained to serve the throne and the next King. Knowing his reign was at its end, the First King copied all the knowledge and tech of his planet and then simply disappeared. Years pass and for a time the throne remains empty as war continued to rage across the planet with no clear sign of it ending and a bounty was put on the First King's head. As the years pass and the First King remains unfound, rumors of his death slowly start to circulate planet wide.
Time passes, the throne remains empty, the First King remains MIA and wanted, and the planet remains engulfed in war. Due to the constant need for better equipment and resources, science and technology make significant leaps and bounds. All the while the First King records it all secretly from the shadows. Twenty five thousand years after the First King sat on his throne, the people that now populated his planet were Scientists and Researchers. Warmongers and Inventors. And though the throne of the First King no longer remained empty, war still reigned supreme. 25th King Altlaintize of the Alterian people, Second King to sit on the Planet Throne sought to end the constant warring by bringing the other nine kingdoms that had sprung up under his control.
During his quest for information on how to unite all the peoples under his rule alone, the Second King learned of a rumor that only the First King had the power to reunite the peoples. So the Second King focused his search for the final or current whereabouts of the First King. Then one dark and stormy night while visiting a pub in disguise, the Second King overhears a rumor that the First King had managed to hide out until technology had advanced enough for him to escape off planet as a stowaway in the holds of a cargo ship. However the exact planet he now resided on was unknown. But after doing some more digging of his own, he learned that the rumors were true.
Armed with his new found knowledge and the proof he needed, the Second King started a new campaign to reunite the people of his planet under his rule. Hatred for the First King and fear of his return united most. Those whom opposed the Second King for whatever reason either died or escaped off planet. Among those that fled off the planet where the remaining survivors of the Royal Families of the other kingdoms. Each sought out and conquered their own planet and established their own planetary rule.The once warring planet once again found peace for a thousand years. During that time, the Second King sought out the exact planet that the First King hid on. On the One Thousandth anniversary of planetary peace the First King's planet was discovered. However it was also on this day that the Royal Families that had fled off planet, chose to return but not for the peace celebration. The planet was once again plunged into war.
For a thousand moons the Second King defended the planet and its peoples until a meeting could be arranged with the First. With his people and planet now facing extinction, the Second King throws himself at the feet of the First for his aid and mercy in planetary salvation. At first it is unknown as to why the First helped the Second but the Twelfth King later reveals that they had in fact been related though how exactly was still unknown. The Twelfth also claimed that each King to have sat on the War Throne has been a descendant of the King before him as all future Kings shall be as laid before them by the First Two Kings of War.
With the reunion of The First Two Kings, the invaders were pushed back into space. Though they still constantly fought the extraterrestrial invaders in space, peace once again found its way on the planet itself. The First and Second Kings co-ruled as they groomed their Chosen Heir to be the Third King. The First controlled all military and foreign affairs while the Second over saw the domestic affairs and the running of the Capital. Both Kings oversaw the keeping of justice over the people.
A week before the coronation of the Third King, the First was assassinated, the Second was either imprisoned, missing or dead - none knew which for sure. He was also alleged co-conspirator of the soon to be Third King who had allegedly hired the assassin. The would be Third King was branded a traitor and the First Black Star Bounty was issued : corpse wanted but prisoner is acceptable, planetary reward. Reward for next of kin as corpse or prisoner : continental. Reward for corpse or prisoner of any loyal to the above criminals : land, titles and/or kingdoms depending on value. Main target and next of kin may be put to death upon surrender. Those loyal that surrender must be taken prisoner.
With this issuance of the First Black Star Bounty, those loyal to the First Three Kings immediately surrendered to avoid death. Those that didn't were wiped from existence along with all the next of kin that was found. All those that were taken prisoner was sent off planet to an unknown location. With the complete total collapse of its infrastructure, the planet was once again is thrown into war and chaos as the extraterrestrial invaders fought amongst each other for control of the planet while its inhabitants fought to defend their home. Unfortunately not every person on the planet wanted to defend it from the invaders. Some sought favor from them and some just wanted it for themselves and a few was after whatever would be left after all the fighting ended if any or ever.
The war for control of this one planet soon became all encompassing. It wasn't long before the entire galaxy was consumed by this war and eventually made its way to the other galaxies until it encompassed the whole universe as each power house sought to expand its knowledge, resources and technology in an attempt to gain enough power to win against the others. As the war reached the farthest edges of the universe, one small, seemingly insignificant backwater galaxy managed to defeat each and every attempt to conquer it. The galaxy suddenly became black-listed and labeled as forbidden territory when it was reviled to be the hiding place of the Second King and all subsequent attempts failed with the death toll on the Second King's side was zero and everyone else's was in the hundreds of thousands. It was rumored that the black-listing and labeling came after the Second King surrendered to one of the attacking armies on the condition that his galaxy and its occupants were left alone. The rumor goes that the day the Second King surrendered was the last time he was ever seen or heard from and the attacks continued and continued to fail until the sudden black-listing and the labeling of forbidden territory came roughly six months later and the galaxy was left in supposed peace while the rest of the universe continued to war around it.
The Second King was now either dead or imprisoned, The First assassinated, and the Third labeled as a traitor, was missing and presumed dead but was still wanted. The galaxy that had housed the Second King was well guarded and kept under constant observance but was soon all but forgotten as to why and of its importance. The Planet of the Three Kings was still in a constant state of war as ownership was fought over. The planet its self soon became uninhabitable as its resources were stripped eventually leaving behind nothing except for a barren dessert wasteland home of nothing but the dead and dying. The only living to be found on the Planet of the Three Kings were the soldiers sent to die at the whim of their lords.
The original name of the Planet of the Three Kings was lost to the annals of time and there is no living being today except for a very select few that even know it as the Planet of the Three Kings. Instead its simply called War. Its still fought over to this very day. Those that fight over it decided long ago that it was more profitable to wage war over the planet then simply stop. At one point it did seem like the war was going to end, but despite this decision, an unknown entity would always restart the war. Rumors were that the entity was a member of an elite family and no matter the official reasoning, Planet War was the cause.
Time passed and nothing changed. Only one small and seemingly insignificant backwater galaxy remained untouched by the all consuming war that raged across the rest of the universe. But this galaxy was anything but insignificant. In fact had any of the warring parties found out the truth, the consequences would be devastating. For this galaxy held the key to accessing the rest of the multiverse. However in a certain circle of individuals, there was a rumor that it was the Third King's final resting spot. There was an even smaller circle of individuals that knew that rumor to be true as well as the planet that the Third King was hiding on held the key to accessing the rest of the multiverse and those two reasons for the galaxy being black-listed and labeled as forbidden territory. They didn't want anyone else to access it before them. However each member of said circle also wanted to keep it out of the hands of the others.
As time went on and war continued to rage on across the universe, a different kind of war was taking place inside the galaxy: a war against time itself. How long before the real war outside their galaxy invaded and could they prepare proper defenses in time? Besides being home to the most wanted criminal in the universe and holding the key to accessing the rest of the multiverse, there was other reasons that the galaxy was so sought after. Each planet or celestial body in said galaxy had a unique property about it: any and all living things that set upon a celestial body would develop a very unique, unnatural and untimely expiration date. Except for the planet that the Third King choose to inhabit. Weird as it was though, each and every celestial body was teeming with life of one kind or another.
It is believed that from the sanctuary of his new home, the Third King had a hand in the continuation in the universal war and in some circles the mastermind behind the whole thing to keep from being found. In reality he was trying to keep them out so he could locate the key to the rest of the multiverse and keep it to himself. His goal? Find the key, escape to a different universe, sealing his behind him until such a time as to be able to raise an army. Maybe universal in size or three or seven or even the rest of the multiverse? Anyways, with his network of spies, loyalists, and followers, TeeKay as he later chose to call himself gathered all of his universe's knowledge and technology and compiled it into a database. Eventually TeeKay learns how to traverse the multiverse and he begins to collect the knowledge and tech of the other universes into similar databases as the War Database. His goal this time was to combine all knowledge and technologies into one Weapon of Mass Destruction. He called it : The Ultimate Super Computing Machine Of Mass Destruction.
It is believed that TeeKay spent his last days in one of his labs. Unfortunately at this time it is still unclear as to exactly what happened. The only for sure thing is that one moment there was an entire galaxy under guard and the next a black hole where the galaxy and guards should have been.
