Ahí está otro pedo. And it's one where we're still on. Doing better than the previous government, but still under a big problem.
When the old peoples established, there were territories that were claimed by a bunch of giant bugs we called the 'Tzizimime' lifeforms, or 'Evil Arrows' as some called them. Colonists on their worlds entered in conflict with them, and we later entered an unspoken agreement where we wouldn't touch each other's worlds. There were skirmishes, but nothing big.
Then there was the Pillar Empire. Ships that entered their space were vaporized. All initial conflicts with them ended badly for humanity. We were warned not to step into their space, uncaring that we were refugees from a previous conflict. For everyone's sake, human migrant governments complied.
[ She readjusts her hat, angry at the assholes in control on both sides of the galaxy. ]
One day, they declared war all of a sudden.
The Tzizimime lifeforms began invading human worlds all of a sudden, overwhelming everyone and everything in number. There were as many fuckers on the ground and in space as there were stars. Then, even the Pillar Empire, who had previously been a dormant empire, suddenly vaporized Tzizimime and Aztlán ships as they fled, and declared that 'humanity and the Evil Arrows had violated their covenant with all species, and will be civilized for the sake of the galaxy.
We don't know what triggered that war. Aztlán blamed the Rural worlds for expanding outwards to the point of angering everyone, the Hacendados said the Terran Federation could have declared war on their side of the galaxy, but nothing is clear. Much less with the distance we all had from them.
[ She then turned her hat. ]
All that I know, is that Aztlán equipment was shit, and that machineguns and mobile units did far better than much of the expensive crap Aztlán boasted while protecting the Haciendas.
