Rage

(Or never piss off the Humans)

Opho looked around sadly at what used to be the 3rd largest settlement on Zaalia 5. The Khekuvuk had colonized the world less than 30 solar cycles ago. Not long by normal standards but they were making good use of its mild climate and mineral wealth.

But with success comes greed and their long-time tormentors, the Gre’l.

They’d attacked the colony within 2 of this planet's days. The main settlement managed to get off a distress signal before the Gre’l destroyed the subspace transmitter. Without that, the Khekuvuk colonists couldn’t transmit to one of the other planets, let alone out of the system.

Opho had been studying the rings of the furthermost planet of the system when he received the distress call. He warped to a position within the local asteroid belt to observe. He hoped to try and rescue some of his people but the Gre’l had far too many ships in space for him to sneak by.

His people were not a warlike species. They preferred working the land and creating fine pieces of art that were treasured across the galaxy. Their adeptness at carving or working with metal to create statues or symbols was especially sought after. Many worlds had statues of their important people that were created by Khekuvuk crafters.

The Gre’l preferred not to pay for Khekuvuk artwork or other decorations. They’d just raid one of our colonies and take both our people and wealth back to their systems.

Despite complaining to the Celestial Confederation, nothing was done but unenthusiastic condemnation of the Gre’l’s actions. They were far too strong for all but a couple of members of the Confederation. And the Rateri and the Jezerk just didn’t care.

The newest race to join the Confederation was an enigma. The Terrans or Humans, as they preferred, were friendly to many of the races and recently began setting up trade deals.
