Our story takes place in the far future - some millions of years beyond our current day and age. In this setting, humanity long ago left behind the confines of Earth, and colonized worlds far beyond our solar system, ultimately beating the odds and becoming the preeminent civilization in the Milky Way. Of course, space is far, far, far bigger than the Milky Way, and elsewhere in the universe other civilizations succeeded similarly, totally unbeknownst to each other. Space is that effin’ big. What none of these civilizations realize, however, is that there are forces even more powerful than anything they might have imagined - forces for whom a galaxy is a drop in a bucket. In this RP universe, there’s always something bigger out there, and for humanity and the other civilizations who’ve succeeded in colonizing worlds throughout their respective galaxies, that something is the Ka.

By human standards, the Ka are powerful beyond comprehension; even the Ka don’t entirely understand their own origins. Ka are created from the combined energies of an entire galaxy by some extra-dimensional force or being. Their powers aren’t limitless, but they can manipulate massive amounts of matter at will, making them about as close to “space gods” as our RP universe contains; however, there is something - many things, quite likely - far and beyond them, and whatever that something is, it has tasked the Ka to assess the sentient races of the universe for some purpose relevant to the creation of another cosmos.

Thus, the grand Ka experiment.

Selecting a handful of members from each of the races that succeeded in colonizing their respective galaxies, the Ka transplanted these individuals (or rather, individuals created/cloned from their DNA) to a galaxy far, far, far away - one never to be reached in the course of those races’ exploration - and dumped them all in a handful of adjacent solar systems, where they all began civilization anew. This galaxy exists in a temporal loop, and once a certain amount of time has passed or certain conditions are met, the galaxy resets, and the various races play out their histories once again.

Our story takes place as the end of one loop is approaching. DETAILS NEEDED HERE but someone has discovered the existence of the experiment - an event that has never happened in any of the previous loops. Consequently, the plot of our story involves these races (and the people who take part in the RP) coming together to uncover the nature of the experiment and find some way to stop the loop before their existence is reduced to another set of data.
