The Cognatus were an alien alliance which was created by the ruling empire of the Cognati. They had complete control over dozens of galaxies and often destroyed empires along their path of divine retribution.

Few empires were lucky enough to be accepted into the alliance, all of which can be seen below. The Cognatus controlled over 60 million colonies and having ultra advanced technology, the Cognatus were among the most dangerous empires in the universe.

However, their union became divided after the Intergalactic War, with the vast majority of the Alliance becoming swallowed up by the even more powerful Catharsis, while a small, yet still powerful, faction survived in Cyrannus, becoming the Cognatus Remnant

History[]

Intergalactic War[]

Battle of the Quadrantia Wormhole

The Cognatus invade the Quadrants.

In the immediate months prior to the beginning of the Intergalactic War, the Cognatus Alliance began exploring the Unknown Regions of the Cyrannus Galaxy, searching for long lost Atlantica and Thirteenth Tribe artifacts and constructs. Eventually, they came across a world sacred to both the Cognatus and Rambo Nation, who would also eventually discover it. When they did, the Cognatus were furious and began a genicidal campain against the United Republic of Cyrannus and Rambo Nation.

This war would last for years, and all sides would face extreme casualities, though the Cognatus continued their genocides regardless. Eventually, the Cognatus brought the Cyrannian Republic to it's knees, attacking their homeworlds of the Twelve Colonies. As the battle raged on, the Cognatus became aware of a sacred portal of the gods. When they finished uncovering it, they entered the portal, into what they believed was the Realm of the Gods. However, the Thirteenth Tribe redirected the portal to exit in Catharsis space, where the vast majority of the Cognatus were consumed by the Purity Virus.

Aftermath[]

However, some survived this fate and lived on in the form of the Cognatus Remnant, which abandoned their zealous ways and became allies and later members of the Cyrandia Alliance, helping their former enemies against threats like the Confederacy of Allied Systems and the Cyrannian Neraida.
