But, the war waging aliens didn't like this. After all, Humans were bad. Really bad. And if profitable fortunes could be continuously lost due to {piratism} and destruction of the offending ships, then PSI 5 would cease to deliver and the Human infestations on these alien's worlds would go away. Really away. But, PSI 5 fouled their attempts again and again by equipping their freighter ships with professional crew members and systems of the offensive, defensive, and purely useful (and useless) way. Really way. The aliens returned to the state of annoyance. Later on, the Humans found new races. Friendly races. Which, in turn, knew more friendly races. And then, within' a year, Earth had a planetary alliance with a countless number of friendly species. (Then again, Earth made sure the cable TV connection was cut off from the rest of the universe.) And, so the Earth Alliance was born. The Earthlings were happy. (Now, say it with me,) Really happy. And then 50 years passed. Some boring stuff happened. (At least, where the game story is concerned.) Then, on the eve of the 50th anniversary of the foundation of the Alliance, Earth received a gift of great importance. Reall... The gift to travel to far locations in a short period of time. The gift of The Gravitron Ring. And thus, Humanity expands.
