Great War

The Great War was a viscous and ancient war between the Lombaxes and the Cragmites. It appeared that the Cragmite empire had ruled over the galaxy until the Lombaxes decided to overthrow their tyrannical crusade. The Cragmites lost the war and were banished to another dimension by the Lombaxes. After the war, the frozen egg of the Cragmites crown prince was found on the Kreeli Comet. Percival Tachyon was raised by the Lombaxes on Fastoon. Tachyon later learned of his true origins, because of this he, with the help of the Drophyds, started an attack on the Lombaxes. This forced the Lombaxes to flee to another dimension. Tachyon was the only Cragmite left until he opened a portal that brought the Cragmites back. Ratchet eventually stopped Tachyon's goal to rule the galaxy with the Cragmites again. Ratchet, Angela Cross, Kaden, and Alister Azimuth were the only known Lombaxes to not join the rest of their kind, the two former because they needed to protect the Dimensionator, Angela was off-planet at the time, Alister Azimuth is also found to have avoided entering the Dimensionator wormhole, in exile for failing to protect the Lombaxes on Fastoon from Tachyon's forces. It is unknown if the exile was a punishment from the Lombax Elders,simply self-induced due to the shame of his errors in the past, or both.

Trivia

 * It is unknown how far from the games the Great War is, various sources in Tools of Destruction give the idea that the war ended eons before the first game, however in A Crack in Time, Azimuth seems to imply that he was alive at the end of the Great War, which, assuming that Lombax lifespans are similar to our own, means that the Great War would be about 10 - 20 years before the first game,or it could be possible that even millons of years apart the Great War brought a huge impact on Polaris.
