When I gave my impressions on either the sixth or seventh episodes, I was like sort of berated for giving out a one-sided theory on the Galactic Alliance versus Hideauze due to expressing a statement with so little information.
After watching this ninth episode, I should know better not to get carried away for what Ledo discovered and learned, since still more information is needed to corroborate.
The conclusion simply put is that as long as there's no other self-aware and rational species appearing to compete against humans, then Humanity itself is its apex predator and worst enemy.
Watching that footage from the times of the old civilization which likely dates from the Earth at the time of either the late 21st century or early 22nd century of the Common Era calendar, greatly reminded me of close plot points with the backstories for Wall-E film and the two "Second Renaissance" chapters of the Animatrix.
Spoiler:
Piecing the information, the Earth of the ancient civilization times was afflicted by the meteorological effects of a New Ice Age; kind of sounds like coming from "The Day After Tomorrow" film.
Scientific progress in face of the dire crisis that humanity faced at that time made gigantic leaps resulting in biomechanical engineering on the human body and the genome manipulation.
Speculation: The worldwide scientific community gathered under one banner to develop their own citadel, which at the present timeline of the story are the remains of the ruins in which the whalesquids made their nest as home.
Speculation: That vision came to be either from world government fundings and/or giant corporate conglomerates or international enterprises.
However, many of the mainstream masses were opposed against the scientific community, which by that time defined themselves as "Evolvers", actions regarding experimentation on humans to find ways for humans themselves to evolve their present condition so to be capable of sustaining and surviving in space.
The idea precisely to leave the Earth and set eyes towards the space.
Speculation: I believe the Evolvers chose the biology of several marine creatures living or dwelling in the darkness of the oceans where the sunlight cannot reach due to the following reasons:
1. The Earth's sub-oceanic environment is one of the most cruel and harsh environments for organism to survive and let alone to live.
2. They took samples from the organisms most suitable to live under those terrible environments, and likely with the highest survival rates.
With their genome manipulation technique and biological engineering progress the Evolvers possibly or not created and transplanted symbionts into the bodies of human test subjects; the symbiont themselves could possibly be called or not the first generation of proto-Hideauze living from nanomachines.
The test subjects themselves will adapt perfectly to the deep aquatic environment to eventually become the first Hideauze-Human hybrids, but at that time they were possibly or not grateful to the Evolvers for their new condition.
The marine environment was chosen, because the ocean itself simulates some to many of the conditions in space, particularly the sub-oceanic environment which is immersed in infinite darkness.
The great differences, of course, lie that there is neither gravity nor oxygen in space itself whereas one has to be careful diving to extreme depths in the oceanic environment due to pressure density rising. Again, I could be wrong at that last statement.
Eventually, Evolvers brought their evolved subjects to release them in open space to test whether or not those proto-Hideauze/Humans hybrids were capable of surviving in space. Likely, the tests that they conducted at the beginning failed, until producing evolved Humans who eventually were successful to adapt into the vaccuum of space.
Speculation:
Meanwhile the protesters were having enough of the Evolvers experiments on people. Maybe or not all experiments conducted by the Evolvers were not necessarily atrocious or abusive. However, the idea cannot discarded either that individuals within the Evolvers abused their authority and power to actually carry out experiments and crimes against Humanity.
On the other hand, the protesters could or not necessarily be 100% innocent either. Some likely would have engaged at independent terrorist attacks, others would be forming organizations to combat the Evolvers either politically, financially, and/or philosophically, and a few would likely have engaged in slandering, extortion, and blackmailing against the Evolvers. That could be due that the opposition movement eventually gained momentum and international support.
However, the Evolvers also gained international support from other countries. So, the issue could have quickly escalated from an ideological confrontation to a cold war of sorts between the two opposed factions.
Facts from the footage:
The war broke out between the Continental Union and the Evolvers. A war that with coupled with the newly Ice Age would cripple Earth's human civilization further.
The war between the two factions escalated to the point that they brought it Earth's space orbit.
Later as the war continue to prolong its climax, the Evolvers or not found out from intel, classified information that the Continential Union was building a wormhole drive including a facility with a self-destruct mechanism.
Speculation: the Continental Union and the masses that support them intended to be the first ones to leave the Earth for space destroying the wormhole drive after crossing through it in order to leave the Evolvers and their supporters behind and stranded in a seemingly dying Earth, afflicted by the Ice Age.
Facts from footage: the Evolvers found out the plans from the Continental Union, and they attacked and seized the Wormhole drive. They turned the tide against the Continental Union, using the Wormhole Drive to depart Earth for good and leave for space taking most or all of their created technology with them.
While they also destroyed the Wormhole drive after crossing through it, leaving the Continental Union and their masses stranded and seemingly with no way to escape Earth; the Continental Union was thought to be destroyed along with the Earth due to Ice Age.
Facts and speculation from the storyline's present timeline:
- The human planetary colony of Avalon is one the Evolver's prime masterpiece creation or likely I think.
- The Gallactic Alliance possibly are the far, distant descendants of the Evolvers.
- Eventually, the Earth recovered from the Ice Age effects. The resulting ice caps that melt gave to a dramatic rise of the ocean floors, resulting likely or not that all the landmass became covered in water.
- However, the humans who were left stranded on Earth managed to survive though I do not know if only either a big or small number of their population survived. Nevertheless, the survivors adapted to their new abysmal environment at the beginning.
- Many generations and centuries later, the distant descendants of those surviving Earthling humans started to adapt to their new environment creating giant ships and arcs and living onboard them. They based off their new way of life, new communities, and new society living aboard the giant ships and living off the seas.
- Many centuries would have to pass in order for the knowledge of the ancient civilization and any survivors who remain to know about that knowledge and/or truth be erased from the minds of the survivor's descendants.
- The knowledge would remain just as myths, legends, and treasure for the inquiry of some of those Earthling descendants.
- On the other hand, the Galactic Alliance would have no knowledge of the existence of the Earth as nothing more than a myth due to their ancestors, the Evolvers, eventually sealing off the truth as classified information.
Speculation based on the facts disclosed in the ninth episode on the war between Galactic Alliance vs the Hideauze:
- When the Evolvers left the Earth and the Solar System for the frontier of space in order to find a new planet, at the beginning the Space Humans and the evolved Humans lived together under the same colony and working mutually for the benefit of another.
- Friction and splits would most likely have ocurred between the two factions when the non-evolved, space Humans started to discriminate and see the evolved Humans no longer as people but like animals. They could have abused their authority on them to make the evolved Humans do all the heavy and dangerous work and missions.
Also, some of the evolved Humans would likely have begun to see themselves as more powerful than their non-evolved peers due to their new body condition and form, which gave them lots of freedom to move freely and live in space without the need of ships and tecnology. Those few evolved Humans could likely or not began seeing themselves no longer as people but as new species trascending the limits and bounds of the human species.
- Frictions grow even further out of control and cracks formed within the new Space society that the Evolvers envisioned at first. Fights and brawls eventually led to both groups killing each other. But, the greatest fear for the non-Evolved ones came truth when the Evolved ones became too terrifyingly powerful for them control. Likely or not, then the Space Human ended seeing the Evolved Humans as a threat to their existence, and likely initiated a genocidal campaign against the Evolved Ones.
- The Evolved Ones fended off for their survival seeing that the Space Humans respect them neither as people nor as living beings. Eventually, the evolved Humans escaped the colony and ventured into space forming their separate colonies and their new species; the Evolved Humans further evolved leaving behind for good their humanoid and quasi-human body forms, and instead adapting into new beastal and terrifying forms to survive into space.
- However, the Evolved Humans had within their bodies a pressing limitation that would continue to jeopardize their existence, and that is they could only survive by eating from nanomachines to sustain their bodies.
- Because the matter became that one of survival, clashes against the space Human colony would become inevitable due that they had the needed energy sources based off nanomachines for the Evolved Humans to feed on.
- Clashing against the Evolved Humans in a space sea of carnage and witnessing their beastial forms, the space Humans brand them as Hideauze.
- Of course, those amongst the space Human colony knew about the origin of the Hideauze and their real nature, but they sealed off the truth as classified information just like their ancestors did so about the Earth.
- To fight off against the Hideauz, the space Humans had no other choice but to make even titanic leaps on scientific progress. Hence, at the storyline's present timeline:
1. It brough the formation of complex space human civilization known as the Galactic Alliance with Avalon being borned as the pinnacle of their master knowledge on technology, and also brought as well sophisticated A.I. systems and combat units such as the Machine Caliber ("Chamber"), and breeding of genetically engineered human soldiers ("Ledo") to operate the A.I. for combat uses against the Hideauze.
Speculation based off facts revealed in the ninth episode about the relationship between the Earthling humans and the Earthling whale-squids:
- A fact is that not all the Evolved humans made it to the spaceship that carried the Evolvers into space. The fact that there are whalesquids (Hideauze) in Earth at the story's present timeline suggests that some of them were left stranded.
- It is likely or not that the stranded, non-evolved Humans would have been terrified about the aspect of those evolved Humans who were stranded as well. But, as they have to endure against a new Ice Age cataclysm using crippled technology with a remnant of civilization that continued to be razed and buried under the ice, the issue that matter most for those humans was survival.
- The stranded humans and the evolved humans drift separately from each other communities adapting into two different environments in the same planet afflicted by the same cataclysm.
- Both groups managed to survive and producing offspring.
1. The Earthling humans eventually managed to salvage some part of their technology to create the titan ships and arcs, as well as the Yunboro, in order for them to survive by traveling the new seas of the Earth onboard the ships.
2. The Earthling Evolved ones further evolved from their human forms out of need to adapt themselves into their oceanic and sub-oceanic environment; they became the apex species of their marine ecosystem. However, not necessarily all the evolved ones discarded their humanoid forms.
3. The first contact between the seafarer humans and the evolved ones is unknown for me to comment. However, what's clear is that the Earthling humans gave them the name "Whale squids" and from experience learn Not to tread, disturb, and invade whale squid territory, as they were performing their underwater salvage operation.
4. As long as the humans gave them no reason to be provoked, the whalesquids would leave the ships alone and in peace and continue to live their lives.
5. It is likely that the Earth's glowing bugs are actually the result of sentient nano-machines that adapted to the changes in the Earth's environment and ecosystem.
6. Because most of the Earthling humans in the story's present timeline is a society that values cooperation for living and survival rather than competition through fighting for resources, species like the glowing bugs and their underwater ecosystems are left untouched.
7. Because there's an abundant source of glowing bugs likely or not all over the planet, the whalesquids feed on them without problem and have no need to attack the human ships except if the humans either provoke them or invade their territory.
8. Basing from Chamber's conjecture, Earth's whalesquids live a sort of complacent lifecycle in which they have experienced very few external adversities, unlike their space Hideauze peer which are at constant war against space Humans due to survive extermination.
But so many are leaving out the major factor that prove the evolvers were hateful beyond respite! They had bodies that were not affected by space. They had no reason to follow the Alliance except to continue a battle! If you can go anywhere in space and were hated by the other race WHY would you follow the other race except to fight! They supposedly evolved but I believe it was more devolved they became hateful spiteful monsters with the intelligence of animals and they followed the humans to only do battle!
If they were really evolved they would of headed into space in the opposite direction far from man and would of had the prosperity they supposedly wanted. But the truth of the matter is they de-evolved and became aggressive and the only way they knew to live was to fight so they pursued man far out into the outer reaches of space!

Dude you got some wrong.
One there is no World Government as the UN still existed.
Two the Evolvers are a private venture as they don't rely on states as its founder doesn't like regulation. They are more less the Church of Scientology with Mad Science.
Three the Continental Union became the Galactic Alliance as their propaganda has show not only are they pro-human but purists. Going by the LN description of their society it is akin to Gilbert Durandal's Destiny Plan. Where everyone is cog in the greater machine. They have Eugenics but no genetic engineering manipulation.
usually i would like this kind of reveal but the problem was the whole sudden transformation to make them look more human. I looked at the previous images of the whalesquid, the do not look humanoid at all, the nest children did though.
Then after the reveal, they all looked human and had cute little baby eyes, and clear outline of a human body.
