Editing Trinity:History (section)

==The Fourth Age==
In [[Trinity:Timeline#397_CY |397 CY]], the planet Ganymede was struck by a terrifying menace, a race of monstrous aliens which came to be known as the Tyranids. Many Adnezians who had went to Ganymede and lived in [[Trinity:New_Mechanicus |New Mechanicus]] fled, though a small number remained behind; likewise, the vast majority of those native to Ganymede stayed on the planet, in an attempt to fend off the alien menace.

Among the ships that fled the planet were the sister ships ''Arcturas'' and ''Arcostes'', which - rather than flee to Adnez - fled deeper into space, their passengers having witnessed the devastation the tyranids were capable of: they assumed that both Ganymede and Adnez would be lost, and so they sought out a new world to live in.

In [[Trinity:Timeline#398_CY |398 CY]], [[Trinity:Admiral_X |Admiral X and his companions]] broke the seal on the Tower of Illusions, and found the Wanderer's Blade, left there by Tarian nearly three centuries prior. Breaking the seal on the Tower of Illusions, however, was what [[Trinity:Kotrit_Wayveri|Kotrit Wayveri]] wanted. Since his apparent death at the hands of Tarian, Kotrit had lived on as a dracolich, and had sealed off a small part of the world. With the opening of the Tower, the "blue veil" was lifted, and Kotrit was given access to the whole of the world once more. With nearly three centuries of gained power, Kotrit summoned his generals to him, and marched a legion of undead across the world.

[[Trinity:Admiral_X |Admiral X and his companions]], though unable to halt the advance of the undead, were able to slay Kotrit and his generals. It would take over three decades, however, for the world to recover from the disaster.

As for the Tyranids, fortunately for Adnez and Ganymede, the Tyranid menace was halted by [[Trinity:Admiral_X |Admiral X and his companions]], when they confronted the hive queen of the tyranid fleet and destroyed her. Those Adnezians who had stayed behind on Ganymede to assist in fending off the tyranids were welcomed by the Ganymedians, and the nation of New Mechanicus became recognized as a sovereign nation by the various peoples of Ganymede.

Meanwhile, in space, the ''Arcturas'' and ''Arcostes'' were still navigating the system. While attempting to navigate the asteroid belt, the ''Arcostes'' struck a rather large asteroid, and was unsalvageable; luckily enough for the crew, the asteroid was large enough to hold an atmosphere, and so the atmosphere from the ship was leaked onto the asteroid, allowing them to survive there. The ''Arcturas'', meanwhile, carried onward, deeper into space. The ship passed by the orbit of [[Trinity:Geography#Shadow |Shadow]].

Eight months after passing the orbit of Shadow, all hope seemed lost. Their food supplies had dwindled; the engineers onboard managed to piece together something resembling a cryonic system, which would allow them to put the crew into stasis while the coglings onboard worked to find a suitable planet.

The humanoid occupants were dormant for two weeks, when a planet surfaced. Not knowing or caring if it was hostile to life, the ship changed its heading to meet the planet head-on. With the majority of the ship's systems offline to support the cryonic systems, and only a handful of artilects and coglings attempting to run the ship, they were completely blind as to the nature of the planet; they crash-landed, and found themselves on the planet [[Trinity:Geography#Arcturas |Arcturas]]. They named the planet in honor of their destroyed ship, and began building something resembling a civilization.
