Humans didn’t find their way to space. They were found. And not all who found them would live to regret it. Humanity had nearly reached the point of true space travel, but were so far still confined to their solar system with no means of long range travel. The probes they launched past their boundaries, […]
Captain Takktun Kantari slid the bubble helmet over his head and locked it into place with a reassuring click before triple checking the joint-seals on each of his suit’s four legs and three arms. Several seconds later, when the pressure indicator on his HUD had turned green, he pushed off the wall and floated slowly […]
This is the final part of Much Ado About Humans. I suggest you read part I, part II, and part III to understand some of the references, although you don’t necessarily have to. —————– The unlocked door slid open with a soft whooshing sound and Praetax fluttered into the room gracefully, not bothering to announce […]

Praetax had been so engrossed in his […]
Humanity could not have been found at a worse moment in galactic history. The Galactic Alliance, the foremost power in the Milky Way, hadn’t seen a galactic-scale war in 4000 years before the discovery of two, small but developed systems in the border territory. The worlds existed on a newly discovered hyper lane, one nearly […]
Never trust a human. A simple but effective rule. And one I have strived to live by every time I have to deal with one of those damned monkeys. I am ashamed to admit it, but it was we Koorang that were responsible for making first contact with the humans and introducing them to the […]
“As many in the Galactic Federation have recently learned, humans have in fact been in possession of FTL technology for at least 180 years.” The message radiated through a large spherical ampetheater filled with the representatives from over 1,100 sentient species; all members of the Milky Way Galaxy.
