War Of Thirteen Billion Stars

A war 2 million years in the past. A war between galactic powers, a truly apocalyptic war. Resulted in massive desolation and destruction, and in the precursors retreating to their cluster.

The Conflict

Prelude

A large empire threatened the others, and eventually the war began between the various powers.

Deployment

Gigantic fleets were mobilised, entire planets turned to weapons, the stars used as gigantic beam weapons. Apocalyptic weapons and technologies were developed and used, based on some strange quirk of the universe's laws. Entire star systems were destroyed to keep the enemy from advancing, and fleet battles usually ended in death for any nearby planets and settlements.

Battlefield

The very galaxy.

Outcome

Galactic devastation, the destruction of two species, and the retreat of the precursors to the cluster.

Aftermath

The abandonment of the galaxy overall, and a general uninvolment from all involved. Ruins of megastructures and constructs still dot the galaxy today, though not yet discovered by humans.
