Equality, rightly understood as our founding fathers understood it, leads to liberty and to the emancipation of creative differences; wrongly understood, as it has been so tragically in our time, it leads first to conformity and then to despotism.
-Barry Goldwater

For five hundred years, Humanity has expanded into the stars, colonizing many of the worlds in the void. The advancements in technology has made them even stronger than before with vast armies to protect them from the dangers of the unknown.

Even with these advancements, humans were alone in the galaxy, constantly searching for any intelligent life.

In the year 2582, a survey ship that was scouting for a system for colonization had picked up an anomaly near a planet. The survey ship took scans of the world and were shocked to find multiple species on the newly discovered planet.

Humanity had finally found life among the stars. Too bad that life had already met them.
