Our home gone, our colonies destroyed, and our cites were bombed. Their attack came too swift to quickly for us to counter. And like locus they took everything. It will be a day I remember and a day I shall never forget.

My people and I were of Gallente origin and had lived on that world for generations. The sky was in a shade of dark blue with a hint of the most royal purple found not throughout New Eden. Our world was vibrant for it teemed with so much life! The trees were massive and had beautiful white bark. I think back of the times I spent with my little brother climbing to the canopies to pick their orange and red leaves to make the finest tea around. The deerdogs would yelp as we came down and their powerful hooves would gallop us home.

“Ma when will the drink come?”

“It’ll come when it’s ready dear child!” I was bored after coming home from the forest; I was craving the drink my mom would always make. So I turned on the Net and heard the most interesting of news.

“Today we report that Concord has permitted the capsuleers to exploit and control planetary resources. Shshshsh… Several Caldari ships are preparing to enter Gemenia space.”

“Who are the Caldari?” I asked my mom.

“My gods what would they want here?” She responded.

At that same moment the skies began to be littered with box like objects blazing like meteors. The sky turned into and ugly blackish yellow and then something left those boxes. Objects shaped like a common pencil with fire at their ends flew from them and went to different directions. I tuned to one and then it was gone but was quickly followed by a strange cloud. It was orange and shaped like the mushrooms I used to pick under my families house.

“Volcae away! Away!” My mother screamed and grabbed me. She took me and ran to the barn. I never ran so fast and never was so scared. I was scared shitless. Inside our barn was no animal or hay but a large spacecraft. She took me into the shuttle along with my brother and we took off. As I looked down from the shuttle, I saw my forests aflame.

In space a massive engagement was taking place. Our people’s ships though out dated but of many were battling the Caldari. Beams of light like the suns pierced space were everywhere and when they made contact with something, huge gaping holes were left on the sides of our craft. And then we jumped.
