Galaxy's Edge

In the distant areas of the cosmos, far beyond the familiar stars of the Milky Way Galaxy lies the Eridani Galaxy - a realm of vibrant, exotic planets and sentient species unknown to humankind until a fateful discovery. Dr. Aris Thorne, a brilliant but audacious astrophysicist, stumbled upon a wormhole during a deep-space expedition. This gateway led to Eridani, the galaxy teeming with life and resources beyond human comprehension. Thorne, amazed by his discovery, returned to Earth, informing those of his findings.

The US Government didn't see this as a discovery, but as an opportunity. This in their eyes, was a brilliant opening for money and power and began rallying support for a grand colonization effort.

Humanity's arrival in Eridani was met with both awe and resistance. The natives of the first planet, Pyris, turned hostile as humans began claiming territories and exploiting resources, and once the overall leader of the galaxy, Caius Erighal found out about the invasion, he was quick to retaliate. War erupted, and the advanced human technology against the Eridani's more tribal weaponry meant they didn't stand a chance. Despite their valiant efforts, the Eridanians were ultimately outmatched. Human dominance was secured, but at a great cost.

In the aftermath of the war, a fragile peace was established between the humans now inhabiting Pyris and the surviving Eridanians. A pact was forged:

' ' Each Planet within the Eridani galaxy would be ruled by a human appointed by the leader of the invasion. Tasked with overseeing the well-being of his native inhabitants ' '

While some human governors genuinely sought to integrate and uplift their assigned populations, others ruled with an iron fist, exploiting it's people for resources and suppressing them.

Decades after the war's end, resentment began simmering beneath the surface. Whispers of rebellion echo in the shadows. Will this be the stage for a new era of conflict?
