Great War of Galaxy - war between both of Foundations of Hari Seldon to conquer the leadership in Galaxy. It endured more than 400 years with some pauses. It's end was declared in Gaian subscription of peace. This peace lasted until creation of Galexy. This process could be characterized as a continuous penetration of second Foundation and declining of the first one. Most of planetar systems joined voluntary to side of second Foundation. This junction to second Foundation was unforced without any manipulation of leaders of planetar systems. Encyclopedia Galactica, unified version
Hio stood on outside palisade. He looked steadfastly at sky. There was nothing to see with freely eyes. Perhaps bigger fireworks. Spaces interceptors were taking off and landing almost every hour. Battle roar wasn't heart here, there were fights in the space. From time to time, Hio got field-glasses to his eyes to see the fight. He twisted with head. But he was unsatisfied also from other reasons.
"Flov, how are people doing?"
"Abjectly. Stocks are getting low. And as I listen to subether, it's not only our trouble. Both of Foundations are getting closer to starvation."
"Any solution?"
"Not. Starvation is spreading to whole Galaxy. People from both Foundations suffer.."
" Oh. At Seldon's eyes."
"And firsts Speaker ..." Flov begun.
"He knows that. We aren't one and only planetar system with this trouble. I have hundreds of itches to sit in interceptor IC and kidnapp both of leaders to force them subscribe a peace. They're like small children. It doesn't mind who rules. Whereas both Foundations are created by the same man."
"Why don't you do that?"
"hm. Good question. Prepare hyperinterceptor. Food for one day. I'll fly if it will be ready." After half an hour he shook the with Flov. That was all for goodbyes. No fanfare, no big ceremónies. Interceptor as other ones. Fly to the space took short time. He tried to fly over warline without shooting. He prepared for hyperjump, when computer wrote, he is targeted. Two spins, one side maneuver and when he was opening hyperspace he got shot. Controls showed that motor was out of order. What's now? Does he stay in hyperspace? What's happening? Computer prepared for new hyperjump. Hyperjump in hyperspace? Motors were sparkling, and through terminal Hio got electrical shock. There was also a vertigo. Before he lost his mind, he realized he made a hyperjump.
Happenings were gone quickly. Although Hio was waiting for this moment more than year. He started to fly to Terminus on Terminian rowboat. some days ago, they all were given away out of jailhouse. A jailer came, opened all sarcophagus.
"Let's go out. You all are free. There's no food for you."
Then Hio went out, in front of jailhouse. People lied dispersed on the streets. Dead ones and the alive ones. Some were dying. Some like hyenas were eating others, already dead ones. At that moment Hio remembered, why he was there. Certainly, his people on his Planets were also starving and dying.
"Man, you're fooling us. Ship full of food and without motors. And you were catapulted through hyperspace like for a joke. Whole second Foundation lost its mind, didn't it? And did you do it like officer?"
In that time he looked at judge like fool, what he was saying about. He wasn't remembering. When Hio was given out of jail, and was gazing at dying people, he remembered reason of his travelling. But he couldn't understand, how the food appeared in his ship. He forbade pronouncedly to Flov, give only necessary food.
Even when he was looking for this rowboat, people were denying credits. Nor something valuable. Just food. He didn't see. He got feelings, that whole galaxy was affected by the plague destroying all eatable. Scientists in both of Foundations were searching for a way to find something edible. Unsuccessfully.
Hio saw,that Terminian ship is constructed better than the one
from Trantor. He set automatical control and went into cabin for sleeping. He didn't asleep immediately. He thought about war. Was war necessary?
He aslept by thinking of Terminus. He had had a strange dream: He stood at the border of black hole. He threw in it chairs, tables, beds and various machines. Out of other end the food came. People were fighting each others. Some jumped into black hole , but they were captured dead. In the fairway, he saw two parts of broken cogwheel. These two parts got together and a cogwheel was spinning until a big white blot was created.
