The news of our blue planet joining the galactic stage quickly spread everywhere throughout the Milky Way.
From gallibones and jiglitters to balrouzes and even figgamaggifs, all extraterrestrial races learned of the existence of this hellhole. Disguised as nothing but dirt, overlooked by everyone, left unattended. Now every hunter and merchant guild, every rogue organization and pirate crew hungry for glory, power and riches set their eyes on this azure rock. No one expected an underdeveloped fuel station to shine bright.
Enemy fleets decimated. Groups and organizations crushed. All remaining planets forced to serve under one banner, serve one species, one Earth.
