Edge of the Known Space - Search

The group of explorers and soldiers traveled through the area where the bearded explorer had encountered the alien race, but even after three days, they had found no trace of them.

A few options had appeared in the heads of the people present. Some believed that the explorer had made a mistake, that the group of aliens had left the area, or worse, that they had gone back to report, and gather their troops.

Generally speaking, the soldiers and the explorers would never work together. While the soldiers took the credit for allowing the universal government to be stable, the untold tales of the brave explorers which spent thousands of years doing the most dangerous job in the universe, would be swept under the rug. In the years, that had created a large divide between the two groups.
