"Yes." Michael says. "The Rin were the first alien race we ever fought with. This was back when the Alliance was young. We had only our home planet and two other systems. They attacked our home system of Sol. For fifteen years we fought them, until we finally managed to destroy them all, and wipe their presence from Sol completely."

Glochk nodded. "Centuries later, they attempted to settle the Milky Way, with force. Unbeknownst to them, our Galactic Council has a pact regarding extragalactic invaders. Everyone fought them, Razorbirds, Terran Alliance, everyone. We pounded away at them, and drove them back to a tiny foothold, only twenty systems, and forced their surrender. Now we live in a very tenuous peace. Their borders are patrolled very heavily. And I'm not afraid to admit that the Alliance launches frequent clandestine operations against them, and we believe that many others do the same."
