POV (Captain Dean Cor, Republic Corvette: The Next Star)
Captain Dean Cor was pacing on the bridge of his ship, The Next Star, and stared out at the stars around him. It was almost surreal, if not for the boring mission at hand. Dean, a native of the republic planet of Corellia, had been sent as aid in a research mission conducted by the Republic to attempt to find new planets within the Unknown Regions, more precisely the southern edge. It was not an easy feat, the chances of finding new planets, with life at that were slim. The odds were even worse when it came to the fact that they were looking in unknown regions. Black hole, spatial anomalies, pirates and many more unknowns which would be best to be never known. To make matters worse, out of all the areas they had ventured, they only found one planet, and it had such a poisonous atmosphere, that it was just not worth it.
With the fifth month coming to an end, the Senate had begun to start cutting their losses and started to oppose the mission and were beginning to take steps to cut funding to the project.
When the Captain Heard the news, he was somewhat relieved. With the mission coming to a conclusion, he would be able to finally go back home to his wife and their soon to be born son. Though he was sorry for the lead Republic Scientist, Kayla Mondon, who had taken most of her life, to get the funding for this mission. However, she had refused to give up. The crew's morale was low for the mission as it was, however, she pushed on. Maybe their efforts would prevail before the funding would be cut. However, only time would tell, but there was not much time left either.
POV (Republic Scientist, Kayla Mondon)
Kayla Mondon, the Lead Republic Scientist, laid in her bed, with tears in her eyes. It had been a stressful few week's on her, the Republic had threatened to cut funding on the project she worked his life for. 5 months, they had been searching for 5 months without anything, but that poisonous rock they found a few weeks back.
They had found plenty of other areas of interest, but those areas soon were proven to have nothing. However, she felt it would be today that they would not just cut her funding, but the end of her dream as she knew it. She had thought it for days, waiting for the call to come in and end it all. She keeps going on, praying that she would be given one more day so that she could find something. Although it most likely would not be today, she still remained faithful that eventually, something would happen.
As if her prayers were answered by God, something happened. Something that nobody had prepared for. Something That would change the course of history as this galaxy knows it. Something that would also change the balance of power throughout the republic and the rest of the galaxy itself.
This something was called;
The United Terran Federation.
And God has mercy on all those who piss them off.
