The Silvenex are descended from an old insectoid species called the Inchine. The gentle Inchine once numbered in the trillions, inhabiting a vast area in one of the arms of the spiral galaxy known to them as the Great Glowing Web. The peace-loving Inchine sent out messages of love to anyone out there in the void. They are answered by a reptilian species who are out scouting for a food source to feed their planet struck down by famine. The reptiles are insectivores. What initially is seen by the Inchine as a fantastic bit of luck - finally discovering they are not alone in the universe - turns to horror as the militaristically stronger reptiles slaughter the Inchine for food. Only a very small segment of the Inchine escape. This is the story of those escapee Inchine. As time passes and memories devolve into story, the Inchine call themselves Silvenex.... Which translates to Survivors. As with all other species in the Spiral Arm Galaxy, the Silvenex are shapeshifters and are immortal. They have a weakness, though. They are virtually addicted to hard radiation. There are three clans on a planet called Silven, which translates to "survivors' haven". They are black, blue, and red in colour, and that's what they call each other. Survival has been brutal. There is no love between the competing survivors. This tome covers the rise of each of them. From their humble beginnings to their present-day finery.
