My kind were created over two thousand years ago, during the Great War between the Albion and Ennead.  That would be around 200 BC in your timeline.  We weren’t created to fight in the war.  A Peloran who was tired of fighting, a very rare Peloran let me tell you, was looking for a friend to talk to, and created the first of us.  We chose to fight to protect him, and the other friends we made in those early years.  That is how we began our history.
