The Provincial Wars started two hundred years later and blasted most of the former members of the Realm back into coal, electricity, and agricultural societies. Those were the lucky ones. More than fifty thousand planets were killed in the early fighting with no survivors. Millions of others were blasted into radioactive ashes. For those that struggled in the aftermath, just like the humans that were held captive on the Keepers’ farms, they longed for the days of the Stars Realm. Two thousand years later, the legends of the Giants that were named Gardner still persisted. The former members of the late Stars Realm prayed for forgiveness and longed for the return of the mythical creators of a Realm that no longer existed.
