Outline of History:
The YKQ-2421’s history can be traced back to a mysterious progenitor civilization that existed 15,300 years ago. While this civilization was powerful, using dyson swarms and having proper FTL across many of their worlds, it was destroyed about 13,900 years ago by a gradual incrase in spacetime anomalies, creating an environment somewhat less harsh than the badlands, albeit still dangerous for FTL and dangerous enough to cause the collapse of society on numerous worlds via interference with infrastructure and general society as a whole - things would just disappear and reappear with little explanation.
Over the thousands of years since the collapse of this progenitor civilization, its founder species - the varying robotic Qelua and the organic Ykate - have established many societies. Some have spread out across their home system, others have regressed in technology and only recently achieved FTL. Entire systems, including the home system of the Ykate, were lost, but in their place, new systems have risen to become prominent in its stead, ranging from ecumenopoli to divided nation-states.
The formation of the YKQ-2421 itself came with the reinvention of FTL - numerous societies found a serial number simply stating “YKQ-2421.” The meaning was unclear, but given this anomalous area of space’s dangers and conflicts, this serial number was leveraged to be used as a name for a united polity of the region. As this gained more serious consideration thanks to escalating tensions, the Anomalous Stars of YKQ-2421 were established as an intranational organization, and eventually consolidated into a loose league, with the planet named “2421-Teha” in the YKQ-0001 system becoming the foundation of a new capital as it was simply in between the seven founding systems of the Anomalous Stars.
Only recently have the Anomalous Stars of the YKQ-2421 reached out beyond their home space - their interest beyond this space was limited before recently as there was no motivation to go outside the ruins of the proto-YKQ-2421 civilization, as they provided protection via the anomalies present in the area.
Outline of Major Species: The two main species present in YKQ-2421 space are the Ykate, a bipedal species with four arms, skin colours in various shades of brown, beige, and spots and patterns of colours such as green, yellow, and red, a chitinous exoskeleton and a bony endoskeleton, four eyes, and split jaws, and their creations, the Qelua, who are divided into the Qelua-yta (androids who typically resemble Ykate, often only slight differences in appearance or even none at all), Qelua-yke (robots that, while resembling the Ykate via also being bipedal, otherwise resemble a Ykate in armour or are very clearly not Ykate-looking beyond their basic shape), Qelua-kye (does not resemble a Ykate at all), and the Qelua-tei (disembodied Qelua living in virtual spaces, whose appearances greatly vary).
