Their golden age spanned many millennia and brought their philosophy of peaceful co-existence and technological  exchange to many sentient species and solar systems in their spiral arm of the Milky Way galaxy. Their march towards  universal self-determination was shattered by an invading menace from the Large Magellanic Cloud. The clash of equally  ancient but diametrically opposed cultures left the Reiign, a race genetically cleansed of most aggressive tendencies for  many thousands of years, facing annihilation. \u003c\/p\u003e   \u003cp\u003eDesperate situations breed desperate measures… A group of scientists escaped to the last frontier of the galaxy.  In a last ditch attempt to save their empire and culture, they devised a stratagem to defeat the invaders. Their plan,  a 50,000 year genetic breeding project, results in the creation of the perfect warrior, a biological construct bred for  aggression and genetically optimized for war; a being sociologically conditioned to the shedding of blood on a mass  scale, the ultimate killing machine—they created MAN! \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"iUniverse, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47128503124208,"sku":"9781450280457","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781450280457_p0.jpg?v=1763845133","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781450280457","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
