Humans head to the stars with the help of Jump Gates and Diamede Drives, but habitable planets are few and far between. The search for more worlds keeps humans moving outwards, and brings war and political tug-of-wars over the precious worlds known.
The few aliens surrounding human space aren’t pleased by the human expansion or willingness towards violence, even those species with a knack for it themselves.
But humans might be their saviors from an ancient enemy to all sentient life.
