A Lost Race

They were known as an advanced type I civilization, with formidable technology. They had harnessed the powers of the stars to their full potential, making it easy for them to travel between stars, between galaxies, between large amounts of space. But with them, just like many other races, after their technology stopped improving, once they had seemed to reach the threshold, a primal instinct began to take over their governing bodies. It was an instinct that was far more ancient and destructive than their greatest weapons, an instinct as old as an atom itself. Greed took over them, with each leader trying to control more than the next. War erupted among them, and their home planet was destroyed.

The act of destruction sent them wandering in space, searching for a place they can call home. They spent ages wandering the endless void of space, looking for a new place they could inhabit. They were spread thin throughout space, exploring many galaxies at the same time.

As centuries passed, their technology stopped advancing, and they started to die. Overcrowding, sickness, and decease took over their ships, and harsh but necessary decisions had to be made in order to survive the coming void.

For the survival of the race, the Hackaram came together, once again pulling all their resources to make one common goal possible: to find a planet which they will be able to call home.

Three simple rules were established to prevent genocide or any kind of planetary contamination.

One: Any Intelligent life should be at least 3.5 light years away from the new planet.

Two: Intelligent life should not already be occupying the new planet.

Three: Intelligent life should not become aware of the existence of the Hackaram.

The rules were paramount and were inscribed on every scout ship that would ever look for a planet. At first, the operation looked promising. But as centuries passed, the hope for them of finding a new home became bleak.
