IOK-1



Location


IOK-1 is a distant galaxy located in the Coma Berenices. One may only get to IOK-1 through a wormhole. For now, only crimezone may create temporary wormholes to the galaxy.

History


The galaxy of IOK-1 was created by Nameless One himself as part of the vast cosmos. Knowing that Melkor may also try to subjugate distant worlds and galaxies outside of Arda, Nameless One also created Nameless Beings to protect the various galaxies that he had created. IOK-1 was thus granted to B8 to protect and rule over.

Thriving Galaxy

B8 held the galaxy of IOK-1 for a very long time. While he was it's protector, the galaxy became a very beautiful and wondrous place filled with colors. The galaxy thrived and was safe from all threats.

The Coming of Melkor

Melkor would be cast into the void during the First Age of Arda and eventually, he would find his way out. IOK-1 being located very close to the void was of the first places that Melkor attempted to corrupt and bend to his will. B8 refused to bend to Melkor's will, so Melkor moved on and sought out other Nameless Protectors in other nearby galaxies. In the other galaxies, Melkor found much support for himself. He sent his newly corrupted Nameless Protectors to go and invade IOK-1 for him, and ordered them to kill B8.

While the corrupted protectors failed to kill B8, the galaxy became corrupted anyway and a curse was placed upon it. IOK-1 became a dark place, losing all the beauty and color that it once had. It became a galaxy of black and white. Yet B8 would still retain control and maintain law and order in the galaxy.

Hiding Place


Since IOK-1 became a galaxy of darkness, many new people moved in. Most of the new residents of the galaxy were people who were in hiding, not desiring to be found. Some of these people were good, some were evil, and others were somewhere in between. Despite B8's control, the galaxy became increasingly dangerous. People would only talk in whispers as they risked being killed if they spoke loudly.

Fall of IOK-1


IOK-1 would fall and come into the possession of Mandos after he killed one of B8's friends in the galaxy. With Mandos in control, IOK-1 became an entirely lawless place.

IOK-1 Civil War

Glarthir has said rumors that in IOK-1 a civil war has begun from the death of B8. A power vacuum has expanded into an all out war against Nameless Ones.
