Nebiula is a large terrestrial planet located in the Mid Rim and the Delta Quadrant aligned with The Celestial Army, a extranational entity under the reigns of The High Priest. Nebiula is notable for being the homeworld of the Nebularians, a species of amorphous intelligent creatures known for their rapid evolution.
History
Dawn of life
Thanks to its location in the orbit of a young star in a resource-rich nebula, Nebiula was quick to develop life in the form of the Nebularians, though unlike most species the life on Nebioula would rapidly evolve rather than the slow process most species experienced, growing increasingly complex at a rapid rate. This adaptration allowed for the Nebularians to gain sentience very quickly alongside their mastering of symbiogenesis, an ability which allowed them to "merge" with other beings.
Unlike the typical armsrace between predators and prey, the life on Nebiula adapted to seek out the most different organisms from themselves to merge with in order to form a greater lifeform encompassing the best traits of its forebearers, though lesser beings being created because of this process was not unheard of. This process of evolution and adaptation continued for thousands of generations, allowing the Nebularians to become proficient in complex forms of interaction such as Telepathy and Telekinesis.
Birth of the Council
The Nebularians advanced to the point of no longer needing to vocalise, instead simply using telepathic rays to one another to share their thoughts directly to prevent misunderstandings. This adaptation allowed them to more clearly decide on which beings they should merge with, leading to this process becoming much more selective.
Their evolution stopped being merely a process of natural selection, instead being a process dictated by the Nebularians themselves, forming the council of genetic purity headed by the most evolved beings in charge of their whole society. These highly evolved beings progressively became more advanced and intelligent, slowly becoming more cold and calculating with each instance of symbiogenesis. This council worked for eons to make themselves more perfect, until most Nebularians were deemed imperfect in comparison.
The society fractured, with the Near-Demigod Council and the "Impure" populace. Despite these issues, the Council attempted continued its rapid evolution, advancing beyond the need for a proper body, and simply became a levitating brain wielding prehensile tentacles capable of incredible feats only with their thoughts. Due to all of their progress lifeforms to merge with began to run thin on Nebiula, especially once artificial evolution via genetic manipulation of future generations had lead nowhere. They were forced to begin attempting to evolve the impure populace, with the hope that they could create a more superior being once more.
Start of the Hegemony
The Council of Genetic Purity after seeing that its existence was at an end constructed massive facilities in order to artificially evolve the "impure" Nebularians to feats above their own, even if the ones to be experimented on opposed this. These efforts still kept leading to failures as hundreds of impure or corrupt beings were created from the endless testing and experimenting. They had no other choice, the inferior species from outside their solar system are to be conquered and assimilated so their evolution may continue.
The Nebularian Hegemony was formed, an empire under the command of the Nebularians who conquered dozens of other worlds so that their evolution may continue, assimilating hundereds of species. Millions of individuals were stolen from their homeworlds and taken back to Nebiula to be experimented on. Over time resistance increased, until they hit a roadblock of finally ending up on the borders of much larger states, ones which they could not beat just yet, Such as the Ugandans, Empyrians and Wabbolans. As they began encountering more and more powerful civilisations, they were forced to stop expanding as they could simply not beat everyone. After a hundred of years of being trapped in place, an answer to their troubles would come as a great conqueror.
Invasion by the Elder Overseers
As the High Priest arrived on the edges of the Nebularian Hegemony, he knew this time he could not act alone in his invasion, as he already knew of the Nebularians' abilities and power. The High Priest opened protected portals onto the surface of Nebiula Itself, and the united armies of Solaryans, Vorxans and Wei'virs poured out and decimated the Impure Nebularian armies. The highly evolved beings of the Council of Genetic Purity were forced to intervene, with their great power they managed to halt the advance and collect genetic samples, they used their vast telepathic powers to seize control of the Celestial Armies and captured the High Priest himself. They could not control him too, but they managed to subdue him and bring him to Nebiula. Once he arrived, he saw not just the Nebularian Army but his own brainwashed Celestial Army aswell.
The Council decided to dissect the High Priest, seeing his genome as the answer for evolution beyond what even they could imagine. The High priest tried to resist this by offering his and his armies aid against the surrounding nations and to grant them his own genetic code so they may evolve, all they would have to do is join his army. Despite his expectations, the Nebularians rejected, as they already controlled his army, and they could just take his DNA themselves. The High Priest was fully subdued and the nebularians began producing the next step in their evolution..
The Wei'virs, part of the Celestial Army had not been brainwashed though, and were merely playing along to see what would happen. But now was the time to act, as the end of the High Priest would also inevitably lead to the end of them. The Wei'virs activated their cosmic powers to break the army free from control and directed all of the forces to go and free the High Priest. The combined forces decimated the Nebularians, wiping them out until the High Priest managed to break free himself. Under his reinstated command he seized all of the Nebularians' prototype evolved forms using his genome, deciding that they would be perfect for his army. His first instinct was to eradicate the Nebularians due to him being captured by them, but right before he did this act the puppet in his brain controlled by the Wei'virs spoke to him, convincing him that the Nebularians could still be useful. He agreed, and held another speech offering the same chance to the Nebularians he had offered them before. But this time they fully listened, as unbeknownst to the High Priest, the Wei'virs had seized full control of the Nebularians aswell.
And thus, he had done it. As the nebularians joined the celestial army, the High Priest had completed his first goal towards universal domination. Now it was time to work towards the next step, one which he had already planned all the way back in the Sorroda Contract. At this point however, his great celestial army was barely his own anymore, he had become a mere puppet of the Wei'virs.
