Prologue

Many millennia ago the inhabitants of Earth faced the threat of extinction. The Rakan came to their aid. They had watched the humans for a very long time, perhaps longer than their own written history. The Rakan saved them, coming down in their large ships and taking them off the planet. Now the funny thing is the Rakan were in the same boat as the humans. The alien’s home planet had already collapse into a barren wasteland but the path there was different. Their planet’s decline caused them to look for a new suitable planet, which in turn led them to Earth.

When the Rakan discovered Earth, they didn’t move on immediately. For the aliens, the Rakan value life above anything else, especially if it’s intelligent life. So as humans already inhabited the blue planet, the Rakan sat back and watched. Now, they weren’t necessarily waiting for extinction to happen, but the Rakan weren’t having much luck in finding another suitable world. Unfortunately, the alien’s world died before they found anything. Luckily for the Rakan, they were already preparing for the worse. They had built an enormous space station to house their entire population.
