humans don't have rules for war in the vast interconnected tapestry of the cosmos Earth's humans were largely considered peaceful designated as a level two species by The Intergalactic Federation they were seen as minor players involved mainly in Commerce and diplomatic Endeavors everything changed when a rogue member of the Federation instigated a conflict over a resourcer expanse of disputed space this territory nestled between stars and replete with minerals became became the eye of a storm that threatened to disrupt the tenuous peace that had held for centuries the humans were roped into The Fray not by choice
but by unfortunate circumstance their diplomatic vessel the Emissary while in orbit around the aggressor home world was obliterated by an errant plasma torpedo the ship's destruction resulting in the loss of hundreds of innocent lives was dismissed as collateral damage by the aggressors a grave mistake in the grand scale of Galactic conflicts many races had their own Legends the dracarian had their fearsome star fleets the L3 had unmatched psionic Warriors but the humans they were known for their diplomacy their unyielding Pursuit Of Peace yet there was a side to them that very few outside of their
home planet knew a chapter from their history books written in Blood and fire on Earth Wars weren't always governed by rules for weeks following the unprovoked attack the Galaxy saw no overt response from Humanity trading vessels came and went and human Representatives attended Interstellar conferences with their usual Grace and politeness to the uninformed Observer it appeared as if humans had accepted their loss but in the shadows far from prying eyes Gears of War began to turn battle groups from the human Fleet silent and undetectable positioned themselves near key enemy installations ations Elite Commando units the

Lena undeterred replied softly we hoped for understanding for reparation but remember when Earth is pushed we don't always push back in predictable ways 2 Days Later chaos descended upon the aggressor Empire their mightiest warships vanished Without a Trace Frontier outposts went dark commun communication lines were eerily silent vital installations suffered catastrophic failures within a week a once proud militaristic civilization was brought to its knees without firing a single public shot without a declaration of war the humans had exacted their Vengeance the message was clear do not mistake Earth's Pursuit Of Peace as a sign of
weakness as swiftly as they had acted the humans withdrew melting back into their roles as traitors diplomats and explorers the Galaxy resumed its routines ships traveled and markets bustled but an unspoken understanding spread like a whisper Among the Stars if Humanity reaches out with an olive branch it's wise to grasp it for in their other hand they might just hold the power to shake the cosmos
