Since the beginning of history, the human race has always expanded, through either exploration or conquest, it has grown. With Earth's own secrets and puzzles sufficiently uprooted and figured out, there seemed only one place left to go. Space.
By this time, humans had invented a way to travel at light speed, making the momentous task of discovering new worlds substantially easier. So, humans traveled throughout the Milky Way, turning uninhabited planets into colonies in order to spread farther. But to their dismay, the humans came upon no intelligent life, that is, until one day...
On the colony of Naelis, in one of the outer systems, a message was recieved from an unidentified craft. The officials there were perplexed. The sound was nothing but harsh sounding gibberish. They tried decoding it, thinking it was a possible pirate code, but soon dismissed it, as there was no match. They believed it was just a burst of static from a ships comm relay. Unfortunately, they were terribly wrong. In one swift blow, thousands of rough-looking ships landed, and out piled large, green and blue human-looking creatures. The only thing dfferent were their faces, bestial and hog-nosed with small tusks instead of lower canines, they looked like what could only be described as Orcs, like from fantasy stories. However, these brutes were very real, and overcame Naelis quickly.
But, there were some who escaped capture, death, or enslavement. Those who did sent transmissions for help in a mad panic. To their dismay, no human ships answered. Instead, there came another message like the earlier one, except instead of harsh, it was musical, and somehow reassuring. The humans couldn't understand what these strange new people said, but somehow, they knew things would be fine. And sure enough, by the time a human fleet arrived Naelis was free, and under guard by odd, sleek ships. The saviors of Naelis were a strange, tall, blue-haired, point-eared, beautiful race that called themselves the Efola, but humans started calling them "Space Elves".
After a remarkably short time, the Efola learned the Human language (All humans had conformed to English by now), and explained that the Grolm were their dire enemies, that there were even more races, and about some strange "disappearances of planets". They even shared some technology. This started the Human Empire back up, hungry for more...
