Over the next thousand years the Advent would use all the resources at its disposal to create frightening new weapons and abilities powered by its extremely advanced PsiTech. This powerful drive for revenge pushed the Advent even further in its practices, advancing its technology level far beyond anything the Traders could have imagined (current Advent technology is so sophisticated that it rivals the Vasari's). An etching was created upon Advent citizens in all the following centuries to exact retribution upon their enemy and assume their rightful place in the galaxy. When the Trade Order forced the ancestors of the Advent from its homeworld, it made an indelible scar upon the population's psyche. With an instinctive fear, the Traders took control of the planet by force and exiled the inhabitants far into uncharted space. The Trader Worlds voted - overwhelmingly - that such an aberration had no place within the territories of their new Order. Cerebral Integration Technologies, unrestricted biological experimentation, strange forms of collectivism, and the wholesale usage of countless neurochemicals were but a few of the transgressions committed by the Advent against the Trade Order's bylaws. The people of the desert world practiced what was considered sinful and taboo to the people of the early Trade Order.

They received a single, incomplete report containing "disturbing" information. Not willing to accept failure, the Order sent a series of market research teams to acquire data that could be used to formulate a more elaborate strategy. However, the leaders of the Unity of decided to reject the membership offer. Excited by the potential for profit in this new market, the Order authorized immediate integration and the emissaries initiated contact. Surprisingly, this world was populated by a thriving civilization. One such group discovered a single desert world orbiting a massive red star. At its inception, the Order sent emissaries to invite all known inhabited planets to join the organization. The earliest known records of the Advent can be traced back to slightly after the formation of the Trade Order. It is said that it began as one of many broken peoples who sought spiritual escape on peripheral worlds following the great wars.

The Advent evolved well before recorded history.
