The Continuum
Darkwing wrote:The Continuum - a plane of existence outside of reality. Existing outside of space, time, dimensions and realities, the Continuum holds together the very fabric of reality. Some exist within this Continuum, able to cross over from their universe into ours. Essentially immortal due to their non-existence, they rarely crossed over into our territory, minding their own business in the Continuum. But some saw the opportunity for power.
Being able to manipulate time and space gave the Continuum an unfair advantage to reality as we knew it. Secretly manipulating history, someone crossed over into our universe and became a key member of the United Federation of Planets. Simply known as "The Admiral," he along with a small team of other people, believing in the need to protect the Federation from threats unseen, built the USS Darkwing. An advanced warship that "didn't exist." On her maiden voyage into a dangerous region of space known as the Arton Expanse, those involved in the Darkwing project were mysteriously killed off or disappeared, including the Admiral.
The Arton Expanse proved to be an all-powerful being that had mysteriously been awakened and antagonized, leading it to try and devour space. The Darkwing however, prevented the Expanse from devouring the galaxy, but not before her Captain, Frank Williams, was kidnapped by operatives of the Admiral.
Hundreds of years earlier, a powerful race of fox-like beings known as the Vixens, discovered the existence of the Continuum and uncovered the foul plan at work. The Vixens with advanced technology and an understanding of realities, launched a massive campaign against the Continuum. During the war, a rebellion occurred on the planet Vixeria, homeworld of the Vixens. The rebellion failed, but not without its casualties. Years later, another rebellion was held, this one still failing ultimately, but succeeding enough to over time destabilize the Vixens and make them a more reclusive and rare species, not even catalogued by the Federation. The reason the rebellion failed however, was because a certain Vixen by the name of Mallor, was in fact one of two people responsible for the rebellion. He was sent by the Continuum to overthrow the Vixens so that the war would end in the favour of the Continuum. However, Mallor became sympathetic to the Vixens and rallied on their side. This was the beginning of the end for the Continuum as the second person to have initiated the rebellion, had his memory wiped by the Vixens to protect the timeline and their race.
With this, the Admiral began a hunt for Mallor and for Rivers, the second individual. Due to his memory loss, the Admiral had all but lost track of Rivers, as for Mallor, he was a skilled operative and easy to disappear, especially with the Vixens sympathetic towards him. It was then that the Admiral kidnapped Frank Williams, hoping to glean information about Rivers. Rivers was in fact at the last minute, promoted to Captain the Darkwing due to Williams' knowledge of events yet to come, thanks to Mallor.
Rivers led the Darkwing on in secret missions, until uncovering a plot to resurrect the Dominion with stronger numbers and more powerful ships. Also pursued by a Section 31 operative who had learned of the Darkwing, Rivers and the crew of the Darkwing had managed to thwart the operative, but got caught in a massive battle with the new Dominion forces. In the following battle, the Section 31 operative was killed and the Darkwing was destroyed, but the Dominion wasn't defeated.
Having had a new version of the Darkwing built in secret, Rivers and the crew transferred to the Mark II. Utilizing the ship's vast resources and experimental technology (such as a Warp 12 engine) the Darkwing and Vixens re-engaged the Dominion near the planet Vixeria. The Dominion however traveled back in time to defeat the Federation before it would be strong enough to retaliate. In a last ditch effort, the Darkwing and Vixens time warped the massive battle to the year 3000, in an attempt to even out the odds. The Dominion were finally defeated and the Mark II was destroyed, but not before the Admiral took his chance. He kidnapped Rivers and brought him back to the Continuum.
Stuck in the year 3000, Mallor and Terra, two of the key Vixens, raced to find a mythical device that would allow them to transport through time. They found it and transported back to when Williams was still the Captain. Williams gave Mallor a key device to rescuing Rivers. Mallor then entered the Continuum to break Rivers out. He succeeded and in the process, Rivers took a ship built in the Continuum, naming it the Darkwing Mark III. For some reason, the Continuum began to destabilize. Chasing the Admiral, Rivers and Mallor finally killed him in space.
Despite this, things were getting worse, something was destroying the Continuum. There was only one race capable of doing this to Mallor and Rivers' knowledge, the Solari, existing in all realms at once. By destroying the Continuum, they would destroy all of existence. Rivers and the Darkwing raced to confront them, but that is when the timeline ended...
