For millennia, an intelligence drifted in the dark. The last remnant of some long-lost race, it might have been lost forever. We might have been saved.
But we were not alone, after all. The universe teemed with life. And the intelligence was found. Studied. Awoken.
And the stars burned.
Civilization after civilization fell to its irresistible, bloodthirsty might. Others ran, and it followed relentlessly into the abyss. Toward fresh prey.
Now it's our turn. Our ships are old, politicians corrupt, citizens divided. And yet we must succeed where no other race ever has.
We will stand. We will fight.
And we will never surrender.
