Many years ago, the sentient species of the Milky Way were nearly wiped out by a foe known as the Raxan. This species was terrible and cruel, its overriding hive mind directing it towards one purpose: conquest of all. The Raxan were a race of beings with no kindness or compassion, as well as being incapable of feeling any kind of emotion at all. The Raxan were beaten back, however, and under threat of annihilation the Raxan agreed to never again take up arms, and were monitored closely to make sure they would honor their word.

For over five hundred years, the Milky Way Galaxy enjoyed relative peace and prosperity under the Federation of Planets. The galaxy was seemingly on its way towards Utopia, a new golden age of cooperation between races.

However, that would not last.

The Federation became bloated and corrupt. They mishandled many catastrophes, wronging several species that were considered to be minor in the galactic stage. Their mangled policies and crippling red tape led towards a violent uprising by a group known as the Rebellion. EIn addition, the Raxan seemed to be with them. The Rebellion "liberated" the surrounding planets and it appears that they had established an alliance with the Raxan. With the ultimate warrior race on their side, the Rebellion is a threat the Federation can no longer ignore. The galaxy is tearing apart at the seams. Will you fight for peace and stability or do you sympathize with the Rebellion's cause?

Xynto nodded. "I suppose that's so. A warp signature might be hard to find, though... " Serkane thought a moment. "I think I had read a science fiction novel where the protagonists gets stuck on an alien world, and they use photos of the stars back home to find Earth. Is that feasible in the real world?" "In theory, I suppose so. Even a few constellations may help. However, to try and find star patterns for each possible point in the galaxy in search of a match, accounting for atmospheric variations, isn't very feasible. Still, it'd be a start. We may be able to at the very least reduce the number of stars we'd be looking at. Still, it'd require some of our most advanced computers. "

Ezkuro stood in his chair. "Why are you being so helpful anyway? I'm no expert, but this ought to be expensive. I wasn't born yesterday; You want something out of this, don't you?" "Ezkuro!" interjected Serkane. "No, his skepticism is not unwarranted. Altruism has its limits; the Psyclo board of science is unlikely to want to help a complete stranger this badly. We have... other reasons for wanting to contact Tetroneaque's people. " "I knew it!" yelled Ezkuro. "Relax, I was merely wanting to establish friendly trade relations. Don't be so surprised that I may have hidden motives. This is politics: everyone's ultimately in it for their own gain. " "That's a... rather pessimistic way of putting it. " remarked Serkane. "Don't get me wrong, I want to help Tetroneaque, but if I'm going to go to such lengths, I'll need a reason to convince everyone else. Tetroneaque, is there anything else you can give us to help us locate your world? What about your people, they might send a search party eventually if they know your destination. "
