Star Knight Lore: The Sunday School Summary of the Cataclysm

Something like this is commonly taught in the parishes of Galactic Christendom regarding the Cataclysm.

The Tower of Babel was not the only attempt to bring all Mankind under the rule of one whom would rule them all, and holding them in thrall attempt to challenge God. However, every attempt that threatened to succeed would be confounded and the hubris punished, some more than others. The most severe to date was the attempt that ended the Old World and brought down the Cataclysm.

Those who long ago betrayed their Father in Heaven and threw in with the Architect of the Tower persisted. Over generations they would lie and scheme their way through all the nations of Man and seize control of every kingdom. In each corner of the world, they seized control over sites of power. In those sites blasphemous rites would continue, and as the power of Man ascended with his mastery of the arts and sciences, so did the potency of this network of blackhearts.

They would create influence networks from the vain, the ambitious, the greedy, and those given over to lusts unnatural. They would arrange for these vices to be slaked in return for these petty pawns renouncing God and writing their names in the black books kept by the servants of the Enemy. The cultists would use, abuse, and discard these pawns time and again over the generations and the complexity of these influence networks soon attained a critical mass as a result.

The cultists selected twelve of the greatest cities in the world. They used their network of pawns to arrange for weapons of great power to be concealed therein. They used the mastery of time to coordinate the detonation of those weapons at a time of great sorcerous import, conducting a mass human sacrifice of billions with the aim of bringing their great master back into this world whole and restored.

But God will not be mocked. He saw this coming. He turned their evil against them, and against those others so corrupt that they would not turn away from their evil.

The ritual scoured them from the face of the earth, as it scoured all that was unclean in His sight, a deluge of fire to match that of water.

And of those who were not burned, they faced their own dead returned to claim them as now they were the minions of Legion. It was a time of scouring, but not without mercy. Those that learned humility would be saved, while those that persisted in their pride would be consumed, and all the evils that the Enemy's thralls concealed was revealed, and now revealed could be destroyed- and in time, one by one, they were.

This is the myth told of the Cataclysm, leading up to the emergence of Ken (and his Sons) as well as the return of the Church from the City of God under Pope Simon I, the Miner's Son, albeit abridged- consider it the Sunday School Summary.

Is this myth literally true? Yes. A global network of Satanists created a front network of Globalists. They arranged for nukes to go off in the top twelve most populated cities in the world, timed a human sacrifice ritual to coincide with their synchronized detonation, and it all went wrong due to divine intervention. A powerful demon broke through instead of Satan and started the zombie apocalypse, and those who endured long enough to put him down were those humble enough to accept help from a zombie-eating mutant freak (Ken) and the Catholic Church (Simon).

There were others calling themselves saviors, and all of them turned out to be evil Dark Lords: sorcerers, Nephilim, etc. They would be fought after Legion went down, and they would be fought again and again as the Church lead a faithful and resurgent remnant in one Crusade after the next- first to reclaim Earth, and then pushing outward from there. About a thousand years later, Mankind dominates the galaxy. Deus Vult.

And yet the evil persists; they're trying again.
