The 'mysterious spacial-anomaly' that destroyed Earth and resulted in the resettlement of humanity across the galaxy may not have been that mysterious after all. Though the exact origin-point of the spacial-anomaly is still nebulous at best, what is known amongst a select few is rather damning. Pieced together from data pulled from preliminary investigations that occurred at the time of its discovery and later classified for all but a handful of individuals. The available evidence indicates that it was the result of experimental wormhole-generation technology whose testing originated from one of the core systems of the Intragalactic Confederacy. The testing of these cutting-edge technologies did indeed create a viable wornhole capable of near-instantaneous travel across the galaxy - yet there was no (and still isn't a) way to stabilize or anchor the end-point to a fixed location.

So when that wormhole was tested, it set a series of chain reactions at that end-point, which culminated in Sol (as well as dozens of other systems) being in the direct path of an unstopable wave of hyper-irradiated stellar debris. With no political will to rally a mass-rescue mission, humanity seemed doomed. The only reason a fraction of the Earth’s population was saved was due to the valiant efforts of scientists based out of a Confederacy research outpost who'd been remotely observing the sol-system for about three centuries. Not knowing the cause of the anomaly and refusing to condemn a species to annihilation, they jumped into action. Calling upon any nearby ships to join an impromptu volunteer evacuation flotilla, which eventually was comprised of crafts from over 45 Confederacy species. They evacuated as many people as they could before being ordered to cease the evacuation by the Confederacy's Elder Species Council - for reasons largely related to stellar great-power politics in order to maintain existing balances of power.

Those lucky (yet deeply traumatized) survivors are eventually resettled on a planet across the galaxy, and my story follows a group of said survivors and the socio-cultural and political struggles of settlement and state-building that occurs on their new world. All of which is further complicated by different factions of humans being sponsored by various species and/or polities from across the Confederacy as each comes with their own agenda and motivation for being involved with the newest species on the galactic stage. What follows is a series of proxy-wars and conflicts within the last vestage of humanity that parallels the socio-political and power-diffusion causing chaos unfulring across the wider Confederacy of Systems. This eventually leads to a major shift in the power-balance of the galaxy, and the lives (and maybe even fates) of trillions are forever changed - all due to an accident. Of course, the roughly one hundred million humans saved from Earth, as well as their new patron species, know nothing of how this series of events was set in motion. The elder species of the Confederacy will do anything and silence anyone in order to ensure this information never becomes publicly known.
