Conspiracy Theories

Most of the Galaxy were completely unaware of the threat that it was currently facing. Within this century, an extra-galactic invasion would occur, one that had the potential to completely annihilate all life within the Milky Way. 

It was a terrifying prospect, one that had the capability of causing mass chaos across the galaxy. As a result, only those galactic leaders at the highest level of power knew about this sobering reality. For this reason, the sudden changes that had occurred to the balance of power which had existed since time immemorial were truly hard to understand.

For starters, a relatively unknown civilization which only entered the Interstellar Age a mere five centuries ago had suddenly jumped past all of their potential rivals to become the 6th Major Galactic Power.
