500,000 Years After the Galactic Council Destroyed Earth, Humanity Returns
Half a million years had passed since Earth’s obliteration. The Galactic Council deemed humanity too dangerous, a species driven by greed and war. Earth was reduced to ash, and humans were believed extinct. But humanity, stubborn as ever, had survived.
In secret, a handful of humans had fled before the Council’s judgment. They found refuge in the uncharted reaches of the galaxy, where they rebuilt, evolved, and thrived in the shadows. Over centuries, they became a myth—phantoms of the Council’s shame.
Now, their descendants had returned, but not as the warmongering species the Council feared. These humans bore no malice, only purpose. They had studied the galaxy’s advanced civilizations, learned their weaknesses, and outpaced them in ingenuity. Stealth ships glided through Council space, their presence undetected.
They didn’t come to beg for forgiveness or wage war. They came to reclaim their legacy, to uncover the truth behind Earth’s destruction, and to remind the galaxy of humanity’s resilience.
A message pulsed across the stars: “We are humanity. We endure. We rise.” The Council, unprepared for their return, faced an unknown future, while humanity prepared to rewrite the story of its existence.
