Tondora Ilari is the Centauri Politician who was fascinated by the USS Quasar Quest. Ilari was overwhelmed with the belief that if the Centauri Republic was in possession of the the Sovereign, the Centauri would once again be a viable superpower.
Ilari had seen the temporal rift in the Typhon Expanse open twice to the Babylon Universe and once to the mirror. He paid close attention to its function and process. Ilari dreamed of using this power to steal a Sovereign.
The citizens of the Star Trek Universe know and understand the principles of Temporal Distortion better than any sentient race. They have such high respect for the hazards associated with Temporal Mechanics that Star Fleet and its many subsidiary fleets have set up Temporal Affairs offices to prevent tampering with the main time line. Admiral William Wells, who serves as Commanding Officer on the USS Black Dragon served in this capacity for the Omega Fleet under our Illustrious Governor Tim Veltkamp, than Fleet Admiral.
The Centauri have no such rules. Ilari opened the rift hoping to steal a Sovereign, instead his tear let another universe blend with our own. On October 2, 2290, the USS Providence captured images of a bizarre ship and a bizarre signature entering the Typhon Expanse through the rift.
The Centauri will not get their sovereign but the Phoenix Colony is about to get the ugliest of invasion forces, the colony is about to be introduced to the Magog.
Magog society seems to be little more than an aggressive all-consuming horde. The Magog produce no distinguishable art, nor music, nor literature or other signs of 'culture' as it is normally known among the rest of the galactic humanoids. It's not known how such an aggressive, uncooperative species could have developed the spaceflight capabilities and sophisticated technologies the Magog are known to possess. In fact, some researchers theorize that the Magog are not a natural species at all, but rather some kind of bio-engineered weapon, programmed to replicate themselves and destroy everything they come in contact with. But only the Magog know for certain, and they've steadfastly refused to answer questions regarding their own origins. It should be noted that the Magog do have a concept of religon as they worship and obey the Spirit of the Abyss like it is a god.
Within the Horde, the possession of weapons and, perhaps especially armor, may be a sign of rank, as demonstrated by Bloodmists apparent elite status, and ability to command other, non-armored magog.
The Magog are all one gender, and reproduce by laying eggs in the paralyzed bodies of large organisms, preferably sentient ones. The Magog "parent" then watches over the host for the time it takes for its young to hatch and eat their way out of the host organism, which in the process dies a slow, agonizing death. Interestingly, the resulting Magog young seem to contain small amounts of DNA from the host as well as the Magog parent. The rate at which Magog offspring grow to physical adulthood is believed to be a function of how much food is available to the young.
The all consuming horde brings Magog Mayhem to the colony...
