[ WP ] A peaceful alien race is besieged by another race in the same galaxy . As their last planets fall and their home-world comes under threat they do the unthinkable . They ask for aid from the only known creatures more brutal than their foes in exchange for FTL technology . Humans accept the deal .

The war had been going on for generations. Entire lifecycles lost to this futile waste of resources. We were n't even warlike creatures, we are artists, scientist allways looking for harmony in all things, definitely not warriors. Unlike the Kar'Sai, they are ravenous and warlike creatures. 
 
 
 Our spaceships and people could n't compare to the Kar'Sai ships. And so we grew desperate so desperate indeed that we found oureselves looking for help all over the galaxy. Sadly the reputation of our enemy travelled just as fast as our spaceships. 
 
 None of the spacefaring civilizations were willing to help, they were to caught in their own preparations. And when we had almost given up a strange merchant ship gave us the coordinates to a planet not to far away from the Kar'Sai home system. And yet we managed to sneak an expedition ship there. 
 
 To our suprise this planet was home to intelligent life. They called themselves humans. The first time we tried to make first contact they shot down our, luckily empty, landing ship. At this point in time we should have known better. 
 
 The moment we were able to explaine our propostion to them they accepted. That should have been the second red flag. 
 
 Their preparations started immediately after we gave them access to our method of faster than light travel. 
 The humans send a group of millitary experts and weapons sepcialists to talk to our scientist and strategists. 
 They even offered to take up refugees, some of us even chose to relocate to their planet, believing it was safer to hide close to our enemy. 
 
 With our help and knowledge they immediately started to assemble warships armed to their teeth. Specifically our knowledge of superconductors and magnetism enabled them to build weapons we had never even dreamt of. They refitted some of our old ships and even started to build their own. Mounting giant weapons on some of them others were designed to host hundreds of smaller spacecraft just large enough for one human. 
 
 After our negotioations they told us about their history, and apparently they had been at war with each other for most of their history. Sometimes over resources othertimes over mating rights the reasons were endless, the time this species had spend thinking about diffrent ways of killing each other was unparalleled. 
 
 And so they came up with the most horiffic weapons. 
 
 However building a fleet takes time and so the war between us and the Kar'Sai waged on. And it was going terrible for us. 
 
 We had lost contact to almost all of our colonies and had sensor data on a very large Kar'Sai fleet that was making their way to our home system. They entered our system and all of us abandoned the hope that the humans would arrive in time to save us. Our last defensive effort failed and we were ready to surrender the moment the Kar'Sai ships aligned to bombard our home planet. 
 
 That was the moment the humans arrived. They had prepared an ambush and the Kar'Sai were not prepared for a real confrontation. And even for a people as warlike as the Kar'Sai the humans were no match. They had armed their ships to the teeth with large preojectile weapons and very precise Laser weaponry. They tore some of the Kar'Sai ships to pieces others were almost melted by the large amount of plasma bombs that were dropped on them by the tiny, one man spacecraft. The humans even took some of the Kar'Sai ships in melee reclaiming them. They had used our technology to build personalized armored suits for their boarding squads. 
 
 
 That day th humans had not only saved our home system but they had also made it a witness to the worst slaughter the galaxy had ever seen. The humans intented to kill every last Kar'Sai. Later they told us that this number did n't even compare to the wars on their home planet. We were chilled, the largest fight in our history had killed about 10,000 individuals. 
 
 The humans however killed every Kar'Sai present in our system. Except one. Apparently this was part of their strategy, I believe it was part of their culture. He was supposed to tell the stories to his kin. 
 
 The humans continued to fight this way. Eventhough the Kar'Sai were no longer so careless, they were slaughtered. And so the humans continued to liberate all of our colonies and anybody else subjugated by the Kar'Sai. We were delighted and terrified by their efffeciency. 
 
 But suddenly everything changed, for the first time the Kar'Sai had managed to get in contact with the humans, and the fighting halted. They realized something. They were cloesely related. It was even possible to mate between the species. Something that the known universe had never observed. 
 
 That day the fate of the galaxy was decided, and I am responsible.
