When the Crown Jewels were lost in the Great War, there was little reason to continue fighting as they were the only source of power that meant anything in the galaxy and people became hopeful that maybe this would usher in an era of peace.
In the spawn of human years, that might be case, even though humans have the capability to live forever ever since they got rid of god. When god was taken out, men became gods themselves and made up their own laws and they took up residence at the centre of the galaxy where God had been hiding. God was quite surprised when we found him and he had indeed forgotten that he made us. God went under the assumption that all his creations had failed and it turned out that he was a failed god with tens of thousands of mistakes. He was quite happy before we killed him because he had at least one success.
We killed him because we were angry with the laws that bound us to our little planet. After thousands of generations and wars, we lost our home planet and no one remembers where it is. There are people alive today that are still looking for it. They believe humanity will be redeemed if we go back to our roots even though god was dead. They are a strange bunch.
Humanity had taken control of their destiny but we continue to make war. Maybe one day we will penetrate the bounds of our galaxy and maybe then we will find another race which likes fighting as much as we do and they will keep us entertained for a while. Perhaps that’s what made us so successful because we love fighting, to destroy and then rebuild. We keep the world interesting. For the time being we will remain in Argus until we go to far with our wars or maybe we can be redeemed still?
