Now humans realised that the bugs were waiting for them and would search them out. After a lengthy standout, a few human survivors barely escaped with their lives. However, some humans still considered them to be a less advanced civilization. As the battle progressed, it became clear that the bugs weren't simple animals and were far more advanced than they thought, having a caste system, with each type of bug filling a specific role. This again ended in disaster as the bugs attacked them and the survivors were cut off for several days.

Humans originally mistakenly believed the Arachnids to be simple, albeit dangerous, animals and mindless creatures and sent another first contact group to investigate them. The first contact was as disastrous as all the next, as the arachnids reacted to human intrusion with aggresion and swiftly slaughtered the survey team. This led to the war between humans and Arachnids.

Prologue As the humans expanded their territory across the galaxy, they accidentally encountered Arachnids in some remote and distant part of it.
