[ WP ] Tales of Humanity

The first race in our galaxy to come into contact with humanity was the biospecies Mijr. 
 
 You see, the Verilex has inhabited the galaxy for many thousands of what the humans call years. Apparently these humans came from another galaxy after they fought a war. The inhabitants of the planet they call Horus are the descendants of the losing side of the war. 
 
 Now, I believe I should explain what the Verilex is. It is a galaxy spanning empire consisting of all the biospecies. Every life bearing world with intelligence has a certain beast that is able to travel through the stars with enough room inside to hold a crew of many. Our vast galactic government existed for many many thousands of years. 
 
 Then we met the humans, or more specifically the Mijr met the humans. Their section of the galaxy was the closest to the humans. It was done completely by accident. The starbeast smelled something and began to sniff it out. They came to Horus and encountered the humans. The Mijr were quick to see that these people were not native to the gas giant ’ s moon after studying them in secret. They had no starbeasts on their world and their biology was completely alien to this galaxy. Of course, as we had no need for what humans called technology thanks to the starbeasts, the Mijr were unprepared for what happened next. 
 
 They decided that since these interlopers had taken their world from them they were to wipe them out. However, when their fleet arrived in orbit and began firing their poison into the atmosphere, the humans retaliated. Strange metallic points came up and when they came into contact with the starbeasts they were…the human word is vaporized I believe. The Mijr fleet was wiped out and what was worse, the poison had little to no effect on the human biology. 
 
 Having failed to hear from their first attack, the Mijr sent out a second contingent of twice as many starbeasts. This time only one escaped, although I am inclined to believe it was let go so it could tell the Mijr about the human threat. 
 
 What happened next was incomprehensible. A single metallic object came into orbit and began to broadcast messages of peace… *in comprehensible Mijr! * The Mijr launched every type of corrosive and poison at the ship but the ship took it. Then what looked like many mouths opened up and the starswords as the human weapons had become known to be called were dropped on them. They exploded in the Mijr homeworld ’ s atmosphere which sent all their starbeasts into disarray. Still the Mijr fired. The humans dropped more starswords. Entire cities were wiped out. The Mijr, finally realizing that the humans were too much to deal with, were quick to signal their surrender. 
 
 The humans then sent down medical supplies and personnel to help the survivors of the cities. However, the Mijr ’ Ghro, the Mijr Empire, had been destroyed. 
 
 It was about this time that the Verilex first took notice of humanity. We came in and, after learning of the starswords, realized that these humans were not to be taken lightly. We asked that all Mijr be removed from the former Mijr ’ Ghro. The humans readily agreed and soon the humans were given control of all the Mijr ’ ghro space, including all their worlds, formerly settled or empty. Armed with former Mijr starbeasts they designed ships that mimicked their abilities and formed something called the Horusian Federation. 
 
 Then humanity was attacked the second time. 
 
 The Verra, one of the oldest races of the Verilex and the most aggressive, saw the humans as a threat to their power. Horusian and Verra space were next to each other and they saw humans incredible expansion into their new space as a threat to them. Ignoring the reports of humanity ’ s weapons they attacked. Once again we sat back and watched as humanity seemed to easily beat back the Verra, only with better starswords and using some sort of light weapon to burn holes into the Verra ’ s Starbeast. The war lasted many years while the Council just sat back and watched as every Verra fleet was decimated by the human ’ s weapons. 
 
 Humans then resorted to something that none of our races would even consider. The humans call it biological warfare. One ship that came back had been purposely infected with some sort of disease which spread among the Verra portion of the Verilex. Entire worlds were lost. The Federation later said that it was a mistake, claiming that their main government at the time had no idea of the deadly weapon. They claimed that a rogue human agency had placed a bio-bomb on one of their starswords and it had made its way to one of the ships that survived after the human fleet left the battlezone. 
 
 The outcries of every other Verilex race at such an atrocity was too much for the lazy Council members to overlook anymore. The outcries from the others claimed that the council could have stopped the near extermination of the Verra by stepping into the war sooner, but the Council had only their comforts to think of at the time. They were all expelled and a new Council was elected. I ’ m part of that Council. 
 
 We intervened and stopped the war. The humans were very compliant, even offering to try and find out the cure from their supposed rogue scientist who they had in custody. As punishment for attacking humanity, we awarded humanity not only all of Verra Space but also almost all of the Verra Treasury. They used some of the wealth to buy almost all of the Unclaimed Space which had an abnormal amount of worlds that were suited for them. 
 
 It wasn ’ t until a year ago that the humans of another galaxy began transmitting to the Horusian Federation to reestablish contact with their long lost brethren. I am writing this to give to the humans of their own galaxy spanning empire known as the TerraCluster, hoping to gie them a general history of the humans they left in our galaxy. 
 
 What a stubborn species, and one I have grown to slightly admire. Despite their faults these new humans seemed to have made a peaceful empire in their own galaxy. 
 
 We of the Verilex Galaxy, which the humans of the TerraCluster call Triangulum ( what a strange name ) will be most curious to meet these new humans.
