This One's For the Kid In Back With the Ill Periphereal

(The title is a reference to a Facebook profile)

...and so it was that in the beginning the Great Ocean, the Mother Void, the Black Depths Between The Stars did first spew forth the life that was the Dolphinians. They swam to and fro between the stars and did multiply and fill the great expanse of the Mother Void with their numbers. They were intelligent and curious and She did find them to be pleasing to Her sight, but their nature was timid and commical, and this She could not abide for Her's was a destructive womb. In the black expanse of the Great Ocean the light of stars burned with killing radiance and rocks hurtled through the empty void with deadly violence as they were drawn to celestial bodies by gravity's pull. The worlds within Her womb were burned black by deadly stars while others had atmospheres of toxic gases no living creature could breathe.

It was decided by the Great Ocean that She should give birth to a second race, akin to the first but more aligned with Her own violent nature. Thus the Porposians were born. These too she found to be pleasing to Her sight, for they were as intelligent as the Dolphinians, but bore a more instinctual sense of self-preservation. It was soon found that this unstoppable sense of self-preservation made them cowards and turncoats, creatures without honor that could not be trusted or made to wage war. When the nature of the Porposians was discovered, the Dolphinians were found to be as savage and unrelenting as their Mother's womb in their pursuit of the extinction of the Porposian race.

The Mother Void watched on in parental approval as the two children of Her womb slaughtered each other among the stars. This was Her plan, a battle to fill the cosmos with the cries of the wounded and the warcries of the victorious. It did not last though, for it was soon found that the Dolphinians lacked the constitution necessary for unflinchingly savage warfare and the Porposians were cowards willing to broker anything for freedom and survival.

Peace was not a condition the Great Ocean sought for Her children, for peace brought on stagnation. For her children She desired evolution through constant war and never-ending challenges. In their weariness of war the Dolphinians and Porposians met a terrible force, their mother's wrath.

In Her wrath she produced children so violent and savage that they were little more than sentient bottomless gullets. She made a race so deadly and unrelenting that there was little more than unending hunger and mindless bloodlust within their skulls. With eyes as black as the Mother Void itself, the Sharkosians sought out their brother races and brought war and death to them as they chased them from the sky. Finally their mother was truly pleased with Her works and She did smile and sleep as Her children slew each other while they fell to the planets within Her womb.

Thus, in a time before time, began the Sharkosian-Dolphinian War
