[QUOTE="jonesy, post: 6046800, member: 10324"] Here's an attempt at creating some history: "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away... A group of beings who would much later be dubbed the Architects, and even later the Celestials, became obsessed from a very young age of their existance with what lay behind the scenes of the universe. They searched far and wide for answers. They looked deep into matter. They scoured the reality they had been born into, looked behind every nook and cranny, and learned to disassemble and reassemble whatever aspect of matter or energy they got their hands on. Then they found the Force. Or the Force found them. They found themselves cursed with the ability to resist it. To utilize the Force the Architects first had to learn something that had never even occurred to them before. They had to learn how to be vulnerable.. As their research into the Force progressed, so did their resistance to it wane. Before they realized what was happening did the Dark Side begin to seep in. But all their existance they had been obsessed with discovering the true nature the universe and so they could not simply stop. It was not in their nature. They looked deeper and deeper into the Force until finally they themselves began merging into it. What many species later would learn to do after death did the Architects become without. Somehow they became chained to both sides of the Force. And so the Celestials were born. Existing half in the Shadowlands where Ghosts of Force roam before reaching their final destinations in the Force Dimension, and half in the reality they still called their home, they discovered a problem. Their half existance in two dimensions at the same time was preventing them from getting out of the limbo that the Shadowlands seemed to be. Still wanting to continue their research further, farther, and higher into the order of being, they began a construction project other species might have called arrogant, but which to them was merely a natural extension of talents honed all throughout their lives. They began building steps into the dimension of Force. First they forced their way out of the Shadowlands into a dimension of pure chaos. Slowly over aeons they tamed this place where old laws of physics had little relevance and used the matter within it to build a place one step higher from it. The dimension of chaos would later end up being nothing but a trash basket of partially finished projects, under a vast concave hallowed out supernova. The next dimension they built was a network of roots for something beyond it. This they called the Luminous Universe, filled with highly energetic physics, a universe-wide power system to power something much grander. The grand design would be their new home, the Celestial Universe. In here would they finally be in a position to create a system for breaking into the Force Dimension. Or what they perceived that to be. But the much too intimate connection to Force had perverted their nature and they found that the Shadowlands still pulled at them, preventing access to higher dimensions and the true source of Force. The same source that kept pushing them away from itself. They would have to build something here that even their own elders would consider arrogant and extravagant." [/QUOTE]
