| abstract | - The Empire of the Aucindreth is based in the Purgatum Cluster on the outer Rim. In the First Age the cluster was the primary location for prison colonies of the Terran Empire, namely due to the environments of two of the three systems in the cluster, which were less than desirable but still habitable. Some time before the Imperial collapse, this cluster was the apparent source of an incursion by a race suspected to be native to a different galaxy (although this was never proven), named Aucinar. Contact was lost with these systems long before the gates shut down, and it was assumed that all life in the cluster was extinguished by either the invaders or the plague that came years later. At the start of the Second Age, however, a fragmented holo-projection from the Purgatum Cluster's link was projected across the Helios Network. A tall, black-skinned creature with sharp projecting horns, dressed in robe-like battle armour, presented itself before the factions. He(it?) named itself an Aucindreth, and asked simply if anyone else had survived the cataclysms.
