The interaction between civilisations in this galactic
community is similar in many ways to that of medieval Europe on your own world.
War and colonisation are common, and like that historical period, the current
universe has many new worlds to discover.
When cultures battle they always use slave races to do
the actual fighting. Many armies, like ours, are trooped by armoured slaves you
would sometimes find remarkably similar to dear little metalmeat.
And so you are subjugated, subsumed, submitted. What is
your future, and what are your chances of survival, or escape, or
reincarnation?
It is a feature of DNA which will cause your species
to begin a slow evolution to be more like us. You are, of coure, virtually
identical to us in physical make up, but your behaviors are radically
different. This will change over time, removing your lust for exploration, your
belief in freedom and your motivation to rebel. Your personalities will begin
to lose that singular strength which first attracted us to you. You will at
once become more suited to your position yet less interesting to us. Toys that
don't react are of interest to no intelligence.
It is believed that slave species often become so
subsumed into the host species that they will become identical in every respect.
What problems or advantages this may cause are subject to debate.
But hey, this is not for a thouand thousand years, so
lets not dwell upon it!
