Before, in the Age of Light, our galaxy was at peace as freedom and democracy was spread across the thousand thousand stars. To safeguard this peace the Order of Eternal Light was established and the galaxy was to stay the same. But this stagnation and the refusal to deviate from the status quo is causing the ideals to crumble under the weight of reverence instituted by the Constancy. Now that freedom is only afforded to those who 'earned it' before, it is no longer universal. We are already moving towards the Age of Darkness, the galaxy is already falling.
