[ WP ] `` To explore the universe , we had to sacrifice our humanity . And we did . ''

The Sentarian war was a quick, brutal engagement that nevertheless filled history books with lessons on the ways things should have been done.

The atrocities we committed during the war are countless, but sacrificing an entire slave species and their planet Earth for simple resource denial, is beyond any rational justification. Now with only two major races in the galaxy retaining control of planets with significant human stock, the demand will undoubtedly drive the cost up for those looking to purchase human slaves in the future.
