SIENNA EVE BENTON
 

Venus was once closer to Earth before cataclysms pushed it toward the Sun. Venusians aided early Earth by terraforming and seeding life, leaving DNA behind. Some evolved into vapor-like beings. Masters of biology and fragrance, they studied soul chemistry and attraction. Their scent-based potions influenced other civilizations. Venus later became symbolized as the Morning Star, linked to Lucifer and divine beauty.

Martian starseeds descend from exiled Maldekians, rebels of the Orion wars. After Maldek, they fled to Mars, where mostly female leaders built a wise, peaceful society. Over time, reincarnation imbalances created masculine dominance, leading to conflict, militarization, and nuclear ruin. When the Galactic Federation and Orion Empire sought their aid, war erupted again. The survivors reincarnated on Earth, tasked with healing their warrior past and rediscovering balance.

The Maldekians were exiled warriors and spies from both sides of the Orion Wars, sent to the barren planet Maldek. They included rebels, traitors, and a neutral translator class called the Trin Dex. Despite harsh conditions, they built a hidden underground society and traded minerals for resources. A failed weapons test destroyed Maldek, and survivors fled to Mars, where they became the first generation of Martians, hidden from the Empire and Alliance by elemental beings.
