Humanity first encountered other human civilizations apart from them 1513 years before the establishment of the Gctic Empire.


    It urred when aary survey ship from Adele, the third of the Asaport System, made its rounds exploring the distant Gaia Star System.


    The crew of the ship from Adele was initially ecstatic after discovering a which could possibly support human life, but as the survey progressed, they discovered that the housed flora and fauna simr to the ones on their home, and was even home to life forms uncannily simr to them. They were shocked to discover another distinct human civilization which possessed a simr gic structure to their own.


    As each civilizations exchange progressed, scientific evidence surfaced which suggested that their two civilizations had evolved independently from each other. But why did they possess a simr gic structure then? It was thought to be impossible for two life forms which have evolved independently from each other to possess identical gic make-ups.


    This led to various heated discussions on boths; the most epted theory being humanity not evolving independently but was instead brought to a with an environment suitable for them to live on and was left there to develop on their own by an unknown third party.


    The theory admittedly had a lot of holes, but nothing apart from it could properly exin the perplexing situation of both civilizations.


    As the years passed and the investigations of the Adele authorities progressed, this Third Party Theory finally became official after it was found that the situation was exactly simr to the second and third human civilizations they managed to discover.


    There were a couple instances where the encounters ended on a bitter note, but the exchanges between the various civilizations were generally peaceful as a whole.


    The scientific development of the other civilizations discovered by Adele was lower than their own, but the Adele government helped raised their level by providing various technologies, though not without cost, to the others.


    1023 years before the Empire was founded, the Adele government proposed to institute a Gctic Alliance with the variouss housing the other human civilizations which they had discovered. The condition for joining the Alliance was limited to [those connected to Humanity]. The rules were quite loose and no particr objections were raised, so all of the other humans ended up joining.


    Some time passed, and 33 years before the foundation of the Empire, the Gctic Alliance had already managed to discover 151s housing human civilizations all throughout the gxy. The positions of the variouss were not densely packed in a particr sector, but were instead evenly distributed.


    And in the same year, the Human Gctic Alliance entered into a war and won against a human civilization sporting technology more advanced than Adele. The newly discovered civilization introduced itself as the Saiyan Imperium and immediately dered war on the Human Gctic Alliance.


    The gap in technology wasnt overwhelminglyrge, but the Saiyan Imperium still enjoyed a major advantage due being two to three steps ahead in the tech development race.


    The Adele government, which was considered the de facto leader of the Alliance, called for a gathering of all Alliance forces and nned to counter the tech gap with overwhelming numbers. But the Human Gctic Alliances rules were too loose and ineffective to practically implement. Each member chose to protect their native star systems instead.


    As a result, the nned countermeasure of the Adele government fell through, and one system after another got upied by the Imperium.


    But ten years before the Gctic Empires founding, the Adele Starfleet was able to obtain a variety of critical information, including the coordinates of the Saiyan Empires home, from a Saiyan Imperium ship they had luckily managed to capture intact.


    ording to the info, the Saiyan Imperium hasnt managed to discover other human civilizations apart from itself before encountering the Human Gctic Alliance. They didnt have that many active colonies either. In other words, once their main star system was destroyed, the state of the war could be reversed immediately.


    The Adele government spent several years organizing a fleet which could destroy the enemys home system, andmenced assault operations.


    The strategy was simple yet utterly chilling: totalary destruction instead of upation.s were to be destroyed by Nova missiles. A direct hit by one or two Nova missiles wouldpletely annihte each on the enemys home system.


    The Adele fleet first fired off thousands of Nova missiles which would head to their designated targets at a pace close to the speed of light from a sector outside the enemy star system. They thenunched a simultaneous assault soon afterwards.


    The Adele Starfleet managed to sessfully destroy all thes housed inside the enemys home system using only missile attacks. The main Saiyan Imperium Space Fleet suffered catastrophic damage from the raid, and those who managed to survive were scattered all throughout the upied humans.


    Many humans that were members of the Human Gctic Alliance felt utter terror from the ruthless operation initiated by the Adele government which resulted in the genocide of billions of humans.


    In the first year marking the start of the Gctic Imperial calendar, the Adele government dered the destruction of the Saiyan Imperium and the abolishment of the Human Gctic Alliance. It then proimed the establishment of the Greater Human Gctic Empire.


    The rules binding the former Human Gctic Alliance being loose was because of considerations regarding the continued survival and development of the human race as a whole.


    On the other hand, the Greater Human Gctic Empire was primarily established by the human civilizations first discovered by the Adele government which have been working closely with it during the war and thes formerly upied by the Saiyan Imperium whose citizens were subjected to exceedingly harsh treatment.


    All the other humans which were formerly members of the now-defunct Alliance greatly feared the newly formed Empires technology and the merciless ughter of the Saiyan Imperium, and were absorbed into the Empire one by one. Eventually, all discovered humans were fully incorporated into the Greater Human Gctic Empire.


    Ever since the sessful establishment of the Gctic Empire, Adele treated all the members fairly and ruled for the sake of all humankind, so the Empire developed greatly and prospered. The bond between members became even stronger after the advent of the Bug threat.


    In the year 2248 of the Imperial Calendar, the members increased to an impressive 276  with the number ofs which could support human life, including the colonies, exceeding 200.

    Greater Human Gctic Empire Navy Heavy Cruiser Zapata Gougan Commander Ahim Add was pleasantly surprised after receiving a certain report from Zapata.


    So, am I correct in concluding that weve actually discovered the 277th human civilization?


    [There is no mistake in the analysis. Even now, weve been intercepting various radio waves and signals from the aforementioned. Weve finished deciphering the waves. They appear to be an outdated form of digital signals.]


    A video was disyed to Ahim. In the said video, a young human woman was seen cooking food. It seemed to be a cooking show.


    Ahim was beyond overjoyed. Hed gone and done it! His ship discovered the home to the 277th human civilization. His name and his ship were sure to be immortalized in Empire history!


    This was a great discovery! A digital signal you say!? Just how many years has it been since the discovery of a housing a human civilization with this much technological development? He checked using his nanoms. Three hundred twelve years!? The Empire citizens would surely make a huge fuss. They made such a racket from the discovery of that with a primitive civilization fifty years ago after all.


    Start data collection procedures. Send a high prioritymunique to the home country after 72 hours through the special high-speed channel. And be sure to indicate myself as the one responsible for formal negotiations. Ill leave the exact contents to you.


    In this particr sector, sending out messages through the FTL method would take roughly a year for it to reach the Empire. Utilizing the specialized high-speed channel would be several months faster.


    Can the locals from that detect this ship?


    [Thats improbable. We immediately switched to stealth mode after discovering intelligent life.]


    Good. Excellent work! Please proceed. I want to take this slowly but surely if possible.


    [Well then, would it would be fine to use the drones?]


    Drop all units and ce them on stealth mode. Ill leave thending points to you.


    [Understood.]


    Ahim then updated his personal log with the details regarding the discovery of a new human.

    Five yearster, the Greater Human Gctic Empire announced the incorporation of the human Earth as a member.


    The imperial citizens all rejoiced at the news of Earths sessful addition. Each expansion of the human domain would mean additional strength to repel the Bug threat. And it had been over three hundred years since the incorporation of a with such a developed civilization. The entertainment-starved imperial citizens moured for information regarding Earth.


    The Earth was treated as an Imperial territory with limited autonomy. In order to lift the restrictions, it was necessary to meet several conditions brought forth by the Empire.


    These were the sufficient enhancement of technology to eptable levels, reaching a certain ability to defend against the Bug threat, sending a number of local citizens to serve in the Gctic Empire military rtive to thes total poption and so on.


    In other words, Earth needed to actively participate in foreign exchange. The Empire usually treats the buying and selling of certain types of cultural information, tourism and trade as types of foreign exchange.


    Even though humanity had the same gic structure and lived in simr environmental conditions, the process of development for each particr civilization was very different, and from that arises a unique way of thinking and culture. The Imperial government secures this information and then sells them to other interested humans.


    This was especially the case with Earth, which housed a wide variety of races and cultures.


    The demand for tourist trips to Earth quickly ballooned to shocking levels, and the Imperial government decided to implement a lottery system in response. The probability rates for sessfully winning the lottery increased to over 2000 times, and the price of buying and selling said tourist rights also increased ordingly. The price was roughly equal to two times the annual ie of regr imperial citizens on aary scale.


    Of course, the only ones who could afford such a steep price for the tourist rights and travel fare to the frontier sector were a handful of major celebrities and the rich and famous. As a result, sightseeing on Earth has be a major proof of ones wealth and status.


    The general masses usually follow whatever those famous celebs get hooked on. Although the average citizens could go on a sightseeing tourist trip to Earth, they could at least get things like Earth-based ingredients and cooking recipes. The Empire imposed harsh tariffs on these things, resulting in the umtion of foreign currency on the.


    After enough information spreads, it eventually leads to the public demanding more regarding the Earth. Thus, whatever fads were currently trending on Earth ended up trending in the entire Empire as well, and the established itself as the origin of all things hip and cool.


    TL Notes: Too bad the Saiyan Imperium didnt have Prince Vegeta or Kakarot. They could have won otherwise. Darn shame
