## Origin of **γάτα**
A few 100 years ago on the seas far far away, a new land space was discovered. The uncharted land was a new adventure and many seeked to conquer it. A new era of colonization began. Colonization was not an easy journey. It required sacrifices from everyone including farmers, miners, tradesmen, soldiers, religious and social groups, and a very few of the aristocracy. Only a few were victorious but others faced demise without knowing the powers behind those who marked the uncharted their own. The power that had hid itself until the world was ready for it was known as the Colonial Cats.
Behold, and let it be known that the Colonial Cats have emerged again to accept a few as worthy and make them succeed in the newly discovered territory, the space of crypto. The territory is so ferocious that many who tried besieging it are only in dust now. Nevertheless, Colonial Cats are astral. They hold multiple levels of power. Those who join them are allowed to share and wield those powers.
Now the question remains, are you ready to make yourself worthy of Colonial Cats?
### T**he pirate γάτα (gáta)**
Who rules the ruthless seas with the power to predict moves of the enemies, and has no trouble deciding on what actions to take. Possesses instincts that work like a gravitational force pulling him to loots and drops. Whales fear not to tread where the pirate γάτα sails.\
\
### **The spy γάτα (gáta)**
Ssshhhhhh!!! Listen! Something’s in the shadows. The Spy γάτα, their tales are engraved into the lore of every culture of every time. Even whispered secrets are known to them even when none were there to hear. The Spy γάτα has changed the tides of time more often than not.\
\
### The Merchant γάτα (gáta)
From the continent of wealth, treasures, and cultivation, with unmatched mastery in trading emerged the Indian Merchant γάτα (gáta). This gáta holds the skills to trade dust for gold without the aid of alchemy. Seldom deviating from purpose and discipline, even at times when there's blood on the streets, Indian Merchant γάτα (gáta) stays on winning sides.\
\
### The Soldier γάτα (gáta)
A colonial Soldier γάτα (gáta), protector of thrones whilst guarding the front lines at battlegrounds. Eras have passed but this has not affected the unbent loyalty of the British Soldier γάτα. While many sing songs of the soldier’s offensive adventures in wars, they are unaware of glorious powers that imbue his companions with strength and valor.\
\
### The King γάτα (gáta)
With an expansive perspective on earth and cosmos, the King γάτα (gáta) had gazed on time horizons where no vision can reach. After building empires from the remains of the rivals the king ascended from the lands of the earth due to boredom in the colonial era. Now, with eyes on new territories to rule, the King γάτα (gáta) steps up again to resolve the battles of cosmos with his reign.\

## Origin of Voyagers
We have been on the ground but calls are being made from space. We did our part on earth and took off. Colonial cats propelled us to reach the unending cosmos. I am here today to reveal our next station. The Voyager Cats, named after honourable astronauts without whom the exploration of the universe would have stayed in the imagination only. These are here to guide us for our next journey and all journeys to come that shall be in space.
