1. Chapter 1

INTRODUCTION

In the darkest days of the Earth Alliance, when the human race realized that its ends was in sight. Something unexpected happened, which no one anticipated not even by the enigmatic firsts ones.

The human race had fought valiantly, but against the Minbari juggernaut it was all for naught. No matter how much they fought, how many gave their lives, how many ships they sacrificed, it was obvious to Earth Alliance and the human race that their end was near.

All of Earth's colonies had fallen, its fleets all but wiped out and the only thing left was a final last stand in the Sol System. The Minbari had proven to be unstoppable, its fleets and technological superiority too much for Earth.

Now the last of its defenders rallied to its final defence of their home world. For this was the final battle, the battle of the line before reaching Earth. As they waited for the end, the humans of all faiths prayed to their multitude of Gods, and as they despaired and cursed fates and the universe at large, they also hoped and cried for help to anybody and anything to save the human race.

Surprisingly, someone or something heard their cry.

At the edge of known space, a traveller awoke. While travelling between the void between galaxies, it slumbered but now something has disturbed it. Activating its massive and far reaching sensors it scanned the surrounding space looking for the disturbance.

And there it was. It analysis indicated that it was some sort of telepathic cry. Further analysis indicated that was from some kind of carbonite life form. Normally, it would have not cared. In its long journey it had encountered various carbonite life forms and it had little interest in them, the only time it had done something was when they threatened the traveller in its voyage. But what aroused the interest of the traveller, was from where it was coming from.

The cry had definitely originated from the world of the creator. It indicated that the world of the creator was about to be destroyed by another carbonite species. A feeling of almost human anger coursed through the entity. It had not travelled for nearly 300 years and across the Universe to be thwarted by some primitive life forms.

Its long trek was nearly over, and it would soon be one with the creator and no primitive carbonites will interfere. Activating all of its dormant systems it soon radiated with power equivalent that of a star. The entity accelerated to unbelievable transwarp speeds heading towards the Sol system.

V'Ger was coming home.
