Fluff

At the peak of its civilization mankind had reached a peaceful balance and cohesion within itself. Agreeing to limit its existence fore the benefit of the universe mankind stuck to earth. The technology and philosophy it had managed to reach was far beyond what any could have thought. However powerful they were they could not subvert the inevitable laws of the universe. The sun was growing unstable and could no longer support its own existence. Threatened with the destruction of its planet humanity devised a plan. For the first time in three hundred thousand years humanity would leave earth. They chose Iratansia. A galaxy with a complex and large structure. Multiple suns and planets. All capable of sustaining life. They set out to build their ships. Within time they had readied their fleet, flag shipped by the Nebaca-9.

The journey was long but simple. Humanities powers had built the best ships possible and there was little threat in flight. Within 30 years they had reached their new home. However, briefly after entering the galaxy the fleet was attacked. By who or what it was not known. Legend explains ships of a black so deep that space gets lost in them. The mighty asteroid busting cannons of the humans did not but scratch these mythic figures. Humanity was doomed. In hopes of even surviving most ships broke of to retreat deep into the galaxy. Pursued by their attackers Humanity was helpless all but a few ships had managed to escape. Crashing on the planets or Iratansia the humans barely made refuge. over 90% of the human population was destroyed that night. Legend says only the Nebaca-9 was left in the battle but disappeared in a bright flash.

Separated with no means of communication the survivors each believed they were the last. In daring efforts they braved their new planets and restarted humanity in their own way. Humanity was now divided once again. It would be 1258 years until contact was restored, and for the second time humanity would be treated to a space war.
