Remnants of a lost intergalactic civilization, energy sources which defy the laws of thermodynamics and strange orbital alignments leave no doubt: The Gods once lived amongst their creation.
As humanity flourished, fears amongst the Creators grew. Unable to end humanity, the Gods dismantled their creation. Scattered them across the stars and removed their ability to procreate. Humanity would dwindle and wither away.
