The original lore as I understand it (for this particular event), is that the queen escaped from a civil war in Spain. Flies with some refugees to the most powerful ship in the bad guy’s (the founder) fleet and takes it from a bunch of armored super troopers called… the battle brother. Then the founder chases after them, and boards their ship and the queen inexplicably obtains magic powers, kills the founder and the whole fleet teleports to another galaxy because of a painfully convenient plot device and or maybe just because …? The fleet of humans then becomes a series of complex nations over the next thousands of years and kinda dominates the political landscape of that galaxy that was previously controlled by well established alien races? Some where in there the Founder clones himself and maybe become immortal through that process. And the queen becomes immortal because the writers say so. Then she murders the god of lust and dies in the process. To me that feels pretty messy and not terribly well thought out. I’m not an expert though. I know there is a lot in the universe going on outside this story and I know I’m probably missing a lot even within this story.

So I tried to clumsily tape it all into a shape that was maybe a little more engaging and grimdark.

 Somehow I haven’t read or heard anything about the Dwarven Radiance. Maybe that’s the thing I’m missing that will make all this lore work a little better in my head. What is the Dwarven Radiance? Tell me about it.

As far as I know, the understanding from the Sirius side of the universe on the Humans arrival is that the Dwarves constructed a doomsday machine to fight back in a war they were losing against the orcs. Activating it resulted in a huge catastrophe that decimated many races and star systems in Sirius, especially the dwarves and orcs, and also somehow brought humanity and something called "radiance" to Sirius. Radiance being a sort of "voidstuff"radioactivity that corrupts and twists man and machine. The Radiance Machine pulls from a lot of Dwarven archtypes; Heart of Lorkan or the Balrog in Moria.
As to how the radiance machine led to the nexus of humanity's civil war being yanked wholecloth into Sirius, that's a mystery of the setting.
