-The Maldekians -
You have accessed the Akashic Records of the Maldekians. The legend goes...
The Maldekians have a troubled and complex past. They originally fought in the Orion Wars, with many serving both sides. One half served the Orion Empire, while the other served the Belt Stars, otherwise known as “The Alliance,” and a sub-patriotic group called “The Black League Resistance.” Both sides sent in spies as double agents to report intelligence and smuggle weapons and prisoners. They also had a special position called the “Trin Dex,” who were translation experts from multiple races, but were obligated to take no side, and only serve whoever they were assigned (or reassigned to). In order to mediate negotiations during high official meetings and potential peace treaty pacts, having a Trin Dex level translator was extremely valuable. The Trin Dex were the equivalents to the C-3PO like droids in Star Wars, who had over six million linguistic capabilities, and served masters on both sides.
The double agents played crucial roles in smuggling weapons and prisoners throughout the Orion Wars. Among these covert operatives, a specific group of officers called “The Vektor,” officers serving the Orion Empire who secretly controlled a faction of Dark Purple Greys often referred to as “The Vek,” This faction was highly specialized and fiercely loyal, taking orders only from the Vektor and not from the broader Empire officials like the Ciakar. Hence the “Vek” name was an instilled message that “The Vek” could take orders from a Vektor. The Vek Greys were kept shrouded in secrecy and numbered only a few hundred, enough to resemble a small army. Their mission was to be smuggled over to the Alliance, but their handlers were caught in the act, ending the covert operation.
On the other side, the Alliance faced internal strife from rogue Pleiadians originating from Electra. Originally, these Pleiadians had requested a very precious type of pollen called Rhizari from the Alliance to use for ceremonies and healing. The Alliance promised to provide it in exchange for their participation in the Orion Wars. The Alliance desperately needed reinforcements, and the Electran Pleiadians agreed to serve for a set period. However, once their service was complete, the Alliance failed to deliver the promised pollen. Despite repeated pleas, the Pleiadians were left empty-handed.
It was through the Black League Resistance, a more radical and patriotic faction within the Alliance, that the Electran Pleiadians discovered the Empire possessed a large stockpile of the Rhizari pollen. They began secret communications with the Empire, hoping to trade valuable intelligence on the Alliance in exchange for the pollen. The Alliance soon uncovered this backdoor negotiation and intercepted the deal before the rogue Pleiadians could claim their reward.
As both the Empire and the Alliance uncovered these betrayals and other similar acts of treachery, they recognized that these factions could not be trusted. To prevent further risk, both sides agreed, with the help of the Trin Dex, to exile those caught committing treason to the desolated planet Maldek. This agreement was meant to keep the warring factions controlled while maintaining a fragile peace during the chaotic Orion Wars.
The Empire, Alliance, and Resistance reached what became known as “The Great Standoff,” a tense pause in the conflict born from a profound lack of trust. With open warfare grinding to a halt, each faction was forced to turn inward and root out the traitors within their own ranks before any progress could be made. During this intense internal purge, countless double agents were uncovered from a vast array of species including Sirians, Andromedans, Orions, Reptilians, Draconians, Greys, and more. Each was caught playing dangerous games of espionage, switching sides, or serving both factions in secret. Once the number of identified traitors, often called rejects, reached a critical mass, they were rounded up and sent in exile to the barren planet Maldek.
The Draconians and Reptilian Ciakar, having endured some of the harshest exile conditions imposed by the Carians, agreed with the Alliance that these exiles were not left completely destitute. Both sides provided limited but essential resources that allowed survival without enabling the rise of any advanced civilization to the rejected groups. To assist these disparate races in communication and basic organization, a small contingent of Trin Dex was deployed to communicate between species and help coordinate rebuilding efforts. The secretive Vek Greys, who were programmed to obey only the Vektor officers, were assigned as builders and laborers. They could not receive orders from anyone else but served nonetheless to help establish a fragile foundation on Maldek. Being the Greys could not reproduce, and the Vektor rejects having no access to clone them, the groups would eventually die off.
One thing the Empire, Alliance, and Resistance failed to consider was the resilience, persistence, and creativity of the first generation Maldekians, the very ones they had exiled. Most of these rejects were masculine, with a smaller but significant feminine presence, which shaped Maldek into a planet dominated by a divine masculine energy and a patriarchal culture. Yet this patriarchy was unlike others; it was rooted deeply in solution-driven thinking, creativity, and resourcefulness.
Maldek was little explored and often dismissed as a barren wasteland, unsuitable for sustaining life. But beneath its harsh surface, the Maldekians uncovered a valuable resource, a mineral not rare but highly sought after for its critical role in constructing large civilization structures. It functioned much like coal does on Earth. There was enough of this mineral to trade with passing space pirates, a valuable currency that could be exchanged for much-needed resources.
Thanks to their backgrounds as smugglers and bounty hunters, the Maldekians were skilled negotiators. They understood the dangerous but profitable art of dealing with space pirates. Since the Alliance and Empire made frequent check-ins on their exiled prisoners, the Maldekians kept their most important projects hidden underground. They built secret escape ships, pods, and weapons deep beneath the planet’s surface to avoid detection and to prepare for a future where they might reclaim their place among the stars.
Generations passed, but the Maldekians never abandoned their desire to escape the desert wasteland their elders had been exiled to. The Orion Wars became stories, legends passed down through the ages, shaping the identity of the new generations. Over time, small structures began to emerge on Maldek. The Pleiadians, in particular, built modest temples and schools that glowed with a soft blue light whenever a Pleiadian occupied them. These buildings became cherished centers of healing and learning, nurturing the growing civilization on the harsh planet.
Yet, as the population grew and leadership evolved, a difficult question emerged. Should they remain on Maldek and make the best of their harsh surroundings, striving to build a lasting home? Or should they leave the planet in search of a more suitable refuge, hidden away from both the Empire and the Alliance, living in the shadows? Another path considered was rebuilding their strength, amassing an army to reclaim their original homes among the stars. This question haunted the leaders, their choice shaping the future of the Maldekians and their place in the galaxy.
Some Maldekians joined pirate gangs to search for alternative planets and moons that could serve as new homes for their people. Among the many potential candidates they considered was Mars, which at that time had evolved in ways that closely mirrored Earth. However, joining a pirate gang came with a heavy price. Dedication to the gang meant a lifelong commitment, once you joined, you were bound to the group, unable to leave or rejoin your original community after relocation. This bond ensured loyalty but also trapped many Maldekians in a cycle of outlaw life, sacrificing personal freedom for the chance at finding a new home beyond the reach of the Empire and Alliance.
As the leadership of Maldek neared a final decision about relocating their people, a catastrophic accident occurred. A weapons test went terribly wrong, causing the internal structures of the planet to collapse. The ground beneath them began to crumble and implode, eerily similar to the destruction of the Dharruk’s homeworld. At that critical moment, there were only enough starships to evacuate the feminine souls and a small portion of the masculine population. The evacuation was rushed and chaotic, and only a handful of ships managed to escape before Maldek was consumed by destruction.
Fearing that the Alliance or the Empire might punish them further by exiling them to another harsh and unforgiving world, the survivors fled to Mars. By this time, Mars had developed into a viable habitat, making it a refuge for the displaced Maldekians. When news of the planet’s destruction reached the ears of the Alliance and Empire, the Maldekians had already vanished from their reach.
It was a group of powerful elementals who intervened, convincing the Alliance and Empire to halt any ongoing search missions. They urged the federations to allow the Maldekians to rebuild peacefully on Mars, giving them a chance to start anew and finally be free from the burdens and consequences imposed by their ancestors’ choices.
They became the first generation of Martians.
Maldekian Starseeds often experience patterns of "starting from scratch." An energetic pattern that usually begins in their childhoods due to frequently moving. They typically choose military families to remember learn the lesson of adapting to new situations early. It becomes a strength, but also an obstacle as staring over repeatedly often limits them from making meaningful progress.
