[WP]Earth has recently been added to the Galactic Nations. Earth quickly rose through the ranks for being the most ferocious and cold out of all the different species.

It's true, our ferocity in war was unparalleled and even with our subpar technology, we quickly vanquished even the most fearsome of foes. The combined efforts of Mahuka and all of its war tribes was not even enough to slow our conquest for a week. Although we made many errors, the rest of the galaxy was unprepared for our might and it was this that proved to be our flaw. Simply put we were too powerful. We gave no quarters and cut down every enemy who stood in our way. After the tribes of Mahuka, we moved onto the plains of Azrid, where we killed every last man, woman, and child. We considered ourselves invincible and for a time, we truly were. However there were many who considered us a threat to the galaxy and once internal rumors began, they were difficult to quench and it was these rumours that led the first TERRA Uprising to an end. It was no foreign power that dethroned the people of Terra, but rather the people themselves. They began to rebel against the injustices, peace talks commenced and soon we were accepted into the heart of the Galactic Nations. We convinced everyone that we were changed and that such monstrosities would never happen again. And indeed for many years, we maintained a mask of peace, while accumulating weapons of mass destruction not by human standards, but by galactical standards. These were weapons other planets dared not even imagine, for the chaos they would wreak is too terrible to describe. And when these weapons were discovered, we were exiled by the Galactic Nations, in hope that peace could be maintained between the remaining Galactic Plants. But by banishing the humans, the fate of the nations was not preserved, but rather sealed. Immediately, feuds began, not between the people of Terra and the Galactic Nations, but rather between the various planets themselves. They blamed each other for contacting the citizens of earth in the first place and for believing we could be trusted, for it was true, trust was not something humans deserved. However it was something we believed we not only deserved, but had a right to. Human perception is often skewered by even the smallest of events, our memories are adjustable and moldable. And indeed history repeated itself, as it tends to do. A man rose to power, not a just or kind ruler, but rather one who ruled through fear and show of power. There was no one brave enough to stand up to him, and no one brave enough to prevent his tyranny. Humanity repeated its mistakes yet again, except this time, it was not the fate of the world, but rather the fate of the Galaxy that hung in the balance. This man believed in many things, but above all he believed in the unalienable right of humans to have a place among the Galactic Nations. A place that was denied to the once, a place that he wished to receive above all else. It was his greed and the greed of those who followed him that led to the first intergalactic wars. We struck first and our weapons wreaked havoc on the divided state of the Galactic Nations, once again we tore through other planets as if they were made of butter. We defeated the outermost planets and began moving into the center of the Galactic Nations, where the oldest and most powerful aliens resided. However we gave this no second thoughts and proceeded onward with our galactic conquest. This is where the stupidity of humanity’s actions came into full focus. For although we were near the top of the most ferocious planets, we were not number one. And it was time for humanity to be reminded of one very important lesson: there is always a bigger fish in the sea.
