During the intervention of the Factions in 3819 PT, the smouldering war suddenly took a turn towards the tragic. The ancient enemies of the Cradians and Garvians, the Olm, re-emerged as the true architects of many of the long war’s atrocities. Though they were uncovered and agreed to leave the system under the protection of the Commonality, the Olm left a parting gift in the form of a wave of genetically keyed nano-toxins designed to eradicate life on both of the warring species’ home worlds. Although the Garvian planet was saved, the toxins on Cradia were activated and obliterated the planet’s ability to support life. Offered sanctuary in Dominion space, a fleet of Cradian evacuation vessels tried to save as many of their species as they could, while being attacked by Olm drones. The Cradian Emperor opted to remain behind, assisting those who wished to flee. | During the intervention of the Factions in 3819 PT, the smouldering war suddenly took a turn towards the tragic.

- | Though reduced to a fraction of their former numbers after the devastation of their home world, the Cradians survive in a refugee convoy, slowly travelling by warp towards Dominion space, where they hope to find a new home in the Sagittarius Arm. As the convoy travels, Tulaki missionaries have provided supplies along the way, and worked hard to prepare the new vassal species for life in the Dominion as followers of the Path. Though some Cradians have taken readily to the teachings of the Path, it will likely be many generations before they fully embrace it as a society. Similarly, the deep wounds inflicted by war and the destruction of their homeworld by the Olm may never truly heal. | + | Though reduced to a fraction of their former numbers after the devastation of their home world, the Cradians survived in a refugee convoy, slowly travelling by warp towards Dominion space, where they were able to find a new home in the Sagittarius Arm.
