...a small TATC Lynx Vessel enters the system, whoever was inside seemed to be watching whatever was about to happen, oddly enough, the Vessel seemed to be inofficial, aswell as it was heavily modified, while maintaining it´s original visuals...
RandomCommander wait, wait, so will I have to go back to square 1 for all my factions? I will get to relive the untold story of the Miner-Scavengers?
Cool!

Not if someone stops them...
RandomCommander begins archiving all factions
I might as well as put this somewhere...

I’ll be taking this with me to the new world.
A signature is detected entering the system, however you sensors can barely pick up anything. You are, however, receiving a faint signal from the place, it seems a group ships. You scans are unable to penetrate their hulls, but in your databases find similarities to ships from a race know as "Wraith".

I wonder if they are gonna try and blow it up...
Undated_Abyss thay are not Wraith, just the ships share similarities. Close zoom on the hull of the large ships, you may find something...

You intend to reset this dimension?
Attempting to do so will be regarded as hostile - due to the fact it would destroy us - unless we are able to persuade you to allow us to remain intact and carry over to the next cycle.
We do not wish for this to end in violence, but it will do so if the alternative results in our destruction.

...at a far off place the Warlord stops running for a brief moment, he even forgets to brake and his inherited velocity flings him off further towards his targetpoint regardless, he shrugs and picks up his normal route again...
(...oh, and do not mind any mad laughing that might´ve occured in the background of this post...)
A Flare Corp. Explorer warps in to investigate the phenomenon. It then calls upon some units, which self destruct to form a temporary wormhole.

Video was enabled for this transmission, you see an Assault-Class Core Avatar on the other end. It seems as though nobody has met this avatar before though. It has a blank cubic head and tetragonal cantrips with eyes on them orbiting. It also has a second right arm, the asymmetry makes it very intimidating.
"Caution: You seem to be misinterpreting the situation: We are not the ones responsible for destroying all life in the current universe - rather we are the ones that implement new life afterwards. Addendum: Have you even seen how effective the forces of destruction have become? The Darkness just set back Offworld by a couple of millenia worth of progress, and Thrawn can destroy celestial bodies at will, causing catastrophic collateral. Reminder: There are also the Mak, only god knows where they are now, and the Blood Cult is getting increasingly hungry."
"Conclusion: This Universe is already doomed, the Collective are just preparing to create a better dimension in its place. Additional Request: Perhaps you can assist us with a problem we are having?"

Multiple Highly-Advanced Explorer-Class Sensory equipment begin invasively scanning each prying detail of each "Wraith" ship. They know something is wrong with this fleet - too many discrepancies and anomalies - and they are hell-bent on finding out what it is.

((Keystone events do not necessarily mean it is the end of the universe - It just means major changes are coming to the aforementioned universe. Although I will tell you this: The current DC mindset is that at the current rate of destruction, stars dissapearing or exploding, entire systems getting torn apart, rifts in space-time becoming more and more frequent - This universe is suffering, and the DC are aware of it. So after everything is in place, all faction data and souls are kept in safety, with regards as to who helped out the Collective with what, and all impending crises that the Collective toil over (like what to do with the Rogue Cores, for instance) are solved, they will assist - albeit indirectly - the forces of destruction to accelerate the Universe's death, so that it would no longer suffer in its next cycle. There is absolutely no way any other faction that is NOT divine can know of their intent, however, so RP accordingly.))
The increased presence of ships certainly begins to worry the collective, but a mass transmission goes out regardless, every ship in the sector, and all who enter it from now on, will hear this:
/Mass Transmission Start/
"I am sure that you have heard mentions of a Collective Duel about to take place. It will, but the stage has not yet been set. I advise that you limit your interactions here as much as possible, but rather come towards each starbase and assist them with their travels here. They may also have insight on the duel to satiate your curiosity."
"These forces are only here to bookmark and protect the location of the duel. It is advised not to interfere any further here."
/Mass Transmission End/

...the Warlord came running into the system at an idiotically high speed and did a on-point brake at it´s borders, just about when the mass transmission occured, he sighed and turned around, clearly annoyed that he ran all the way here for nothing...
...as he turned around he saw the TATC vessel and frowned, wether it was about the ship itself or it´s inahbitant was unclear though, he pulled out one of his cubes and dropped it into space, disappearing at an instant afterwards just as the Warlord...

We can help you in your goal, on the condition that you can preserve us into the next cycle. We also believe that it would be much more worthwhile simply wiping out the forces of destruction with a combined offensive than resetting the universe where possible.

"Rebuttal: It is simply not possible to wipe out the forces of destruction without catastrophic damages to either this universe's stability, the fabric of space-time or to other dimensions not within our jurisdiction. With the reset, at least MOST of the problems that the forces of destruction are causing will be solved. Thrawn might still try to conquer this entire dimension despite the reset, but..."
The Avatar twitched. "Regarding preservation: That will be guaranteed if you join a side in the duel. Normally we do not allow the intervention of other factions, but Zero-Quad made this an exception. As the Rogue Cores will cause more damage to the Collective if they were re-integrated than they are now, Zero-Quad is passionate about the fact that they must be deleted alongside this iteration of the universe, and so he is gathering all the help he could get to make this a reality. He's thinking about enlisting the aid of all the powerful factions - including you, the Voidborn. So what say you, shall you fight alongside Zero-Quad and purge the rebellious Cores from existence? Please note that alliances and pacts of non-aggression should be minimally affected for this reason but may still be subject to change should you and your allies find yourselves on opposing sides of the duel, The Collective can not be held responsible for any breaking of allia--"

We shall. Where does this duel take place? Are there any honour rules the collective observes?
RandomCommander I see that you have understood everything, this universe will soon fall, just like this dimension. It is useless to flee, we are everywhere, in all dimensions, it is useless to back things ...
