The Founders

An unknown millions of years ago a race of beings began to explore the universe. All too often they would come across the remains of a once great species that had since become extinct. They took it upon themselves to try and protect other creatures that they felt showed promise. Eventually they came to a small bluish world on the out skirts of a spiral galaxy. The race that lived there had recently suffered a horrible freak drought that has devastated their species. Less than ten thousand of them remained. The Founders liked this race and believed that it could one day do great things so they took them and copied them and spread them among a hundred worlds. Many populations were left as is, exact copies of the originals, were others were changed to fit into their new worlds. Still others were manipulated into totally new and original shapes. For even the Founders were artistic on occasion.

So it was that on a hundred different worlds Human kind evolved and changed. Many could scarcely be called human any more, where as others evolved along such similar lines that they're civilizations can hardly be distinguished from those of the originals. On many of these worlds stories are told mentioning creatures and monsters similar to the other lost races. Whether this is due to some form of racial memory or visits from those races that grew their technology faster no one is sure.

Now most of these sons and daughters of Earth are taking their first steps into the see of space. Some have been there for some time already, and even in the deeper depths of this galaxy yet more creatures dwell, creatures who have never called Earth home.

The Founders are long gone but their legacy lives on. Will the descendants of Earth embrace each other as family, or kill each other as foes? It is up to them to decide.
