The Seeker

Humanity has colonized the stars.
Over 150 years, no intelligent life has appeared
But when it does...
It will greet us with blood and fire.

It was supposed to be the dawn of a new age.
The Terran Union was spread over dozens of worlds.
Peace reigned in our space.
Sure, there were problems with the Outer Colonies.
Some problems with pirates.
But we weren't prepared for First Contact.
We weren't ready for the war.
We watched as the aliens burned our worlds.
We tried desperately to fight back at first.

But it was in vain.

Eventually, we learned from our failures.
We became stronger. Tougher.
Now, we have our forces ready.
We aim to strike back.
Show that humanity is stronger.
We have one last chance to strike at them.
If we succeed, we survive.
If not, we die.
Now the only question is...

Are we prepared to lose our souls to ensure our lives?
