The Zodiac

The Zodiac are a covenant of extraterrestrial organisms, mostly homonids and intelligent races aswell. They strongly believe in a collection of Gods known as Deities, and the leader of each race is said to have been selected by these Deities as a flesh representation of each of their Gods. They also believe and fear the Human race may one day destroy the Universe, and that they 'The Zodiac' have been sent BY The Gods to cleanse them from the Universe.

History
= Early History = As much as 300,000 years ago, the Zodiac race known as the Arians or Purists have been observing humanities' evolution, the way we spread over the many thousands of years, and the way we killed the planets we colonised. Eventually, The Arians formed an alliance with several other races who had been observing the Humans, and formed an alliance with them. Their original decree was to keep them quarantined, and safe from the rest of the Galaxies. Eventually, they grew powerful, controlled most of the outer rim of the Galaxy, and they themselves evolved aswell. In the year 2081, the human organization known as the UEM began making plans for colonisation of another Galaxy known as Andromeda, and The Zodiac Purist High Council called a meeting with the leaders of the Embassy. They met and had a council with them and the Humans still insisted on colonising the other galaxy. And so, the Purists simply said, it is your decision, and sure enough, the Humans arrived a year later in the other galaxy. The Zodiac had now become more militaristic than ever, once being more of a covenant of watchers than anything. The Purists handed over the rite of Parliament to the Pisceans. While they, The Purists, handled Military. The Purists then appeared in militaristic form, weilding powerful bio energy weapons, which they used to destroy the UEM ship known as the Henrietta Marie.

= The Crusade against Humanity = They then followed up destroying 27 % of the UEM Colonies in less than 18 years. They then made a bee-line for the Border Colonies, which in-turn surrounded Earth, believing that "If they strike the beast at its heart, it would die." They then destroyed each of the 13 border colonies one by one, until they came down to Adonias. They then were forced to retreat after the UEM began using their fleets. Then, one Zodiac ship, the Vast Expanse, made an outstanding discovery, Haven.

= The Crusade against Haven = This is one of their shorter Crusades, beginning simply as a small-scale ground engagement with only basic infantry forces and one home-base. The crew of the Vast Expanse had relatively recognised the 5 'MSWG' as the UEM's biggest threat. They failed horribly at securing the UEM Ship Crash Site, but grew more powerful when their fleet arrived shortly behind the other UEM fleet, which soon joined theirs. With the Human Grendel forces on their side, The Zodiac almost gained control of Haven, but things went spiraling even more out of control when The Spawn, an ancient race of hellish beings which The Zodiac believed were the Gods or Ancestors of Demons. The Spawn spread quickly over the Haven, and Avisto, who had lead the reinforcement fleet, was forced to retreat. The UEM, MSWG, and Grendel forces, however, remained fighting for The Apex.

= The Crusade against Earth = This Crusade was much more furious than the first one, and even introduced some new Races aswell, one of these had been at war with The Purists many millions of years ago. The Fiends, as they were called, were introduced into the main infantry of the Zodiac. The Zodiac now had more forces than ever, and had re-located all of the leaders of The Zodiac into one collective location, a Zodiac Planet Killer known as The Spindle Shrine. Leading the attack on the ODG, completely surpassing Adonias, The Spindle Shrine stayed inside of an Active Cloaking shield, making it completely invisible, but not exactly safe from UEM Radars. Its drives consisted of Dark Matter drives. After the attempt at bringing down the ODG failed horribly, The Spindle Shrine itself smashed it's way through the ODG and made a beeline straight for Earth, not realising it had let the Spawn controlled UEM fleet through to Earth. After this, Kluutak, who had originally planned for Avisto to be executed, suggested he lead an assault on Earth to cleanse it of Spawn infestation. Before the Shrine itself got to Earth, an attack on New Cairo failed when it was foiled by the MSWG yet again. After Avisto had succesfully cleansed the City of Spawn, the Purists were intercepted by an attack lead by
