Plot
Setting
The year is currently 2312. Mankind had made great progress over the past three hundred years. The entire galaxy had been made easily accessible through the discovery of hyperspace gates, which allowed for quick and safe travel between planets. Because of this revolutionary discovery, mankind adapted, and they spread themselves all throughout the galaxy, colonizing the planets and allowing them to develop over time. Space travel had become a common method of transport, and the Milky Way Galaxy acted as humanity's beacon to the rest of the Universe.
It turned out that humanity wasn't alone in the universe. The first contact between human and extraterrestrial life took place on September 8, 2166, when a Devaian survey ship, having detected high levels of life energy in the Milky Way, touched down in Romulus, Mars, where they met with the ambassador, George Roddenbury. This event is generally referred to as the defining moment in Human history, eventually paving the way for a partnership between the two races. This moment gave the human race a sense of ambition that they had never felt before in their lives, and they pushed forward with the help of the Devaians, until they were able to establish contact with other galaxies. This event allowed for the creation of the "United Galactic Federation".
