"There are ten million, million, million, million, million, million, million, million, million particles in the universe that we can observe." - Stephen Hawking, Epic Rap Battles of History: Albert Einstein vs. Stephen Hawking

"Space is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space." - The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

"I know there is much we can learn from each other, if we can negotiate a truce. We can find a way to co-exist. Can there be a peace between us?" - President Whitmore, Independence Day

The universe is a massive place. Unbelievably huge. Incomprehensibly vast. Even a single galaxy is so wide that crossing it at the fastest speed known takes upwards of one hundred thousand years. Even with the odds of intelligent life somewhere in the cosmos being infinitesimal, so small as to almost be zero, there is enough cosmos out there to make it probable that there is intelligent life somewhere out there. So the big question is, what happens when alien civilizations meet?

In this RP, you play a species capable of interstellar flight. Your other technologies might be lacking or advanced, but you're capable of interstellar flight, although perhaps not the most reliable, fuel-efficient, or safe kind. You're making your first forays into the universe, your races all converging on one world (by coincidence, of course). PX-319, as it's called by the race known as "humans", is, in truth, a very desirable system, and PX-319c is a very resource-rich planet, even if it might not be the most hospitable to your race (you'll get to decide what "hospitable to your race" is, of course).

What happens next? Well... that depends on how you interact with the alien species who've just arrived here. Will you make peace or war? Will you work for interspecies trade, or will you see these strange new beings as fodder for your race's conquests?

This is currently an Interest Thread, but if enough people are interested, it'll become a Signup Thread instead. I'm not expecting a huge time commitment, but I am expecting people to post every once in a while, and if you're not active I will bug you to post. And I will get increasingly more annoying. You can ask people how annoying I can get.

As a side note, there will be two main alien species played by the GM. One will be one of the first races to reach the PX-219 system, a strange bipedal race known as "Humans," who you may recognize as being your own species. The other... well, they'll be revealed later.
