The departure of the Silent left a profound quiet in its wake. For the first time in years, there were no immediate, world-ending threats on the horizon. The Arena of Worlds was still a dangerous place, but the major players—the Terrans, the interdimensional empires, the Hive—were all occupied with their own conflicts or, in the Terrans' case, a new and fascinating field of study.
The coalition had earned a period of peace. And they used it.
The next ten years were a golden age of reconstruction and development. The "Sanctuary Alliance," as their multi-reality coalition came to be known, became a true civilization.
The Genesis Project, under the guidance of Vexia and Vasa, became a cornerstone of their society. They didn't just create one new reality. They created dozens, each one a bespoke sanctuary for refugee species they rescued from dying worlds. Their reality became a nexus, an interstellar Ellis Island for the lost peoples of the Arena.
