Nether Tragedy

" Don't be like that. The walls between our worlds are wearing thinner by the day."

The Nether Tragedy was the name given to the sequence of events that occured between the abduction of Pollyx, until the banishment of the Nethers from our universe. It occured three years before the formation of the Polaris Council of Planetary Leaders.

Abduction of Pollyx
The Tragedy began when the fraternal twins Vendra Prog and Neftin Prog abducted the CEO of Pollyx Industries. They forced him to re-create the Dimensionator in order to open a portal between their universe and the Netherverse. This way, they could bring the Nethers and Mr. Eye to this universe. They had to do this within the Zarkas Sector, though, since the dimensional walls here were worn thin, due to overexperimenting with transdimensional devices.

Eye of the Storm
Mr. Eye and the Nethers eventually entered our universe when Vendra activated the Dimensionator on planet Silox. It was here that Mr. Eye had betrayed Vendra, revealing she was a mere pawn in his plans. They began attacking various planets accross the galaxy, including Igliak, where they wanted to destroy the true Dimensionator. They were trapped and defeated by Ratchet and Clank.

Aftermath
In the aftermath of the Tragedy, Vendra and Neftin were taken prisoner into Zordoom. Damage was great and fear was present in every citizen of Polaris. Barbara Jarvis believed this was the right time to begin a new election campaign, and seeked allies in the Solana Galaxy. She began with the formation of the Polaris Council of Planetary Leaders.
