Aspha Miners
The Collective then found the Aspha Miners race, which specializes, in mineral extraction and large defensive weapons platforms (starbases). The Aspha Miners did not bow to the demands of being assimilated by the Collective thus the Aspha-Collective war broke out. The war was stalemate lasting for a hundred years. Eventually the Collective grows tiresome of the non-conclusive war and decided to moves on. Both races suffered great amount of losses with most their fleets and colonies destroyed.
The Aspha Miners race originates far from the Orion Star Systems. They seems to be a religious race with their original religious records dating back eons ago. Their race name was derived from the Asphalt Mineral, which is found in abundance in the Orion Star System and the fact that they are very skillful in mineral extractions, hence the word Miners. The Aspha Miners peaceful in nature, places more emphasis on defensive weapons platforms or starbases and also designing their fleet to be more defensive in nature.
This was to their advantage as they the Collective race soon came trying to invade and assimilate their entire Empire. Although the war ended in a stalemate, the Orion Star System was drained of resources having many colonies and planets devastated beyond recovery. The Aspha Miners fearing the return of the Collective race moved all their population into thousands of small colony convoys consisting of remanding fleet and fled from the Orion Star System looking for other Star Systems.
The Aspha Miners eventually settled in many parts of the galaxy being one of the common races to be found around.
