Alpha Dynasty

The Alpha Dynasty is the name of a possibly historical, possibly mythical, ancient empire that would have existed over 3000 years before the Great Summoning Event.

Myths
Legends of the Alpha Dynasty are popular in the Tau Kappa sectors, as it was the Kappa Dynasty that from its founding had climed descendence from the ancient empire. According to these tales, the Alpha Dynasty:

-Once ruled an empire spanning between 20 and 24 Star Systems for 10000 years, depending on sources

-Consisted of a race of powerful Casters, the leaders of whom are ancestors of Kappa Dynasty nobility

-Started in the Alpha sector, on a planet named Gaia, then spread to neighbouring star systems once space travel was advanced

-Fought and won a civil war with the Beta Dynasty in the Beta Sector

-Lost contact with their colonies in the Kappa Cluster, thus allowing the Kappa Dynasty to form

-Might have been called Asteria, and only later given the name "Alpha Dynasty" by outsiders and historians thousands of years later

Evidence
-Accurate historical accounts of the Dynastic Wars, most notably James Alexander's The Great War make no mention of the Alpha Dynasty or the Beta Dynasty. This account however, also contained no mention of civilizations or events predating the Year -3000.

-The star systems described in legends as the "Alpha Sector" and "Beta Sector" have not been found. However, there are stellar remnants in proximity to the Tau Kappa sectors with archeology that slightly resembles some older legends.

-A few hundred light years from the Tau sector, another an uninhabited desolate world exists orbiting a brown dwarf. It is a cold planet with no light, but archeology suggests that there was once economic and military activity. The uncovered buildings and weapons are consistent with some legends of the Alpha Dynasty of a planet named "Hades".

-Other planets described in legends, notably the worlds of Gaia and Ares, have not been correlated to the planets in those uninhabited star systems. Those other uninhabited worlds also contain no surface evidence of civilization.
