The mission to the nearby star system, designation PX-3821, and in particular the H-Class, or Habitable Class, planet located there, yielded to the young space-faring Earthlings, a new friend. They were the Solans, a species that many, in closed quarters of course, claim almost looked like a cross of humans and dogs, and that association was only reinforced by the variety of coats, colors, and temperaments the Solans possessed. Though the Solans and Humans met with open arms, their relationship became strained when the Humans and Solans exchanged books of history and culture.

Although their own history was not completely free of conflict, the Solans were horrified by the war-like humans, and it came as no surprise when the Kora, an equivalent to the Human World Congress, unanimously voted down the alliance the human diplomat had petitioned them, but passed the trade agreement. After that, the Kora proposed and passed a Secret Resolution 2224, and diverted trillions of dollars towards military research and development.

When asked about why the alliance was declined a Solan diplomat famously stated: "The Humans have brought upon themselves more death and destruction than all of our wars combined. While we invented clean anti-matter power, they used it upon themselves in a fourth World War so devastating they were forced to leave their irradiated planet and colonize a nearby planet." This sentiment was not widely felt by the general Solan until it came to light a year later that the World Congress had attempted to violently suppress a revolting colony, and in turn, triggered a civil war.

When this was discovered, that same Solan diplomat was again quoted after the bill came up and was shot down again. "Why would we trust a another government who betrays its citizens, and lies to the ones it proposes to ally?" This revelation killed any chance of obtaining an alliance, and almost ended the profitable trade between the two empires.

Some months after their dismissal of the second Alliance Petition, a battleship three times the size of any craft in the Solan's small military dropped out of warp and eradicated their defenses. With nothing left to stop them, this new race who identified themselves as the Lanska, issued their demands which went along the lines of total and unconditional surrender. Not waiting for an answer, they commenced a High Energy Proton Bombardment (HEPB) upon the Solan's defenseless planet.

Solans, now desperate, issued a message to the Humans, but knew the World Congress fleet was scattered across the galaxy attempting to stabilize their colonies that had revolted against the authority of the Congress. Worse yet, the Lanska detected the message and the Laetor in charge of the ship saw it as merely a pathetic ruse to scare them off with the mentioning of these "Humans", enraged the Laetor issued the order for the 3 other bombardment cannons to join the one firing.

The message passed by most of the traders, who immediately turned around because they were only equipped with Low Energy Pulse Cannons for defense. It seemed all but hopeless for the Solans, until the message passed to World Congress Science Ship Endeavor's captain, Admiral Ron Hasslan.

As the story goes, he rallied the traders together and had one take his crew, while the rest kept the battleship's defensives occupied. The researchers knew that there was enough of the volatile high density anti-matter to blow a moon into a permanent crescent, and they knew what he was planning to do as they boarded the trader ship that would take them to the surface of Solania.

Slamming the science ship into the battleship at full speed, and destabilizing the anti-matter containment, he took out half the battleship, and space did the rest. With the sacrifice of his life, the Kora immediately ratified an alliance with the humans, and both went to war with the Lanska.

The first year of the war was brutal and it appeared the Lanska would slowly win, until a Human woman named Denise Lorell, and her Solan lover, discovered an element on Solania that when combined with carbon and steel, made a super-metal alloy she called Denisium.

Using the super alloy, the Humans and Solans were able to design an elevator that connected to a geosynchronous space station. The humans sacrificed no expense and by modifying the orbiting trade station Arcadia, they completed what the Solan's predicted would take a few years, in only a few months. Several hundred ships were produced from the continually expanding spacedock, and helped keep the war to a stalemate.

The War-like humans wanted to attack at what was determined to be the home world of the Lanska,

and they wanted to reverse engineer the Lanska Battleship Warp Drive recovered after Admiral Hasslan's sacrifice. However, the Solans waited, and hoped the the fanatical Lanska would come to their senses.

It wasn't until the slaughter of Devion-5, a new and booming Solan supercolony, by the Lanska's new and terrifying weapon, the Las'kia Oranum, or roughly translated, Destroyer of Worlds. The weapon consisted of high density anti-matter, which normally was highly unstable, however the Lanska had managed to stabilize it into a bomb like projectile one could launch from space.

The destruction was devastating and killed some 25 million innocent people. The populace was outraged and the growing dissent over the incompetence of the Kora caused Commanding General Grenji to attempt a successful coup d'etat. The Solanian military put all of it's best minds on reversing the Warp Drive within two months every ship in the World Congress and Grenji Fleet had the technology equipped.

Warping into the AA-5829 system, where the Lanska homeworld was theorized to be, left the Lanska completely unprepared, and quick surgical strike by bombers left their main ships out of the fight. Although their fleet had been crippled, they refused to give up and the fighting began to take a toll on the Allied Fleet. "It was with great remorse," The Captain of the Leviathan would later say, "We agreed to drop High-Density Anti-Matter bomb upon the Lanska Homeworld. In a single flash, my hand had killed trillions of people."

With their homeland struck by a Las'kia Oranum and their economy crippled, the Lanska quickly surrendered. It was agreed that the death of their people would greatly harm their economy, and they had little to give now that their home world was eradicated. It was agreed that they would be allowed to colonize a new home world in AA-5829, and pay reparations for five years.

It surprised the Lanska when the victorious Humans and Solans came to their aid, spending most of the reparations on medical supplies, repairing the Lanskan Fleet, and on general transport to the new colony. Through the tireless friendship that the Humans and Solans showed, the three civilizations grew closer.

Nine Brutal years had passed, and the trial and tribulations had strengthened the bond between the Solans and Humans. Near the end of those eight years, the fleets and governments of the reinstated Kora and the World Congress were no longer considered separate entities but as one unified force dubbed as the Alliance, a simple enough name, but the idea behind it was complex and powerful.

The Lanskan's were a strange breed to them. Having been ousted, destroyed and humiliated, they only showed respect for the now recognized Alliance Fleet, and the Lanskan's had gone above and beyond with their tactics used to halt the civil war in the Human colonies, bringing peace to the three systems. This paved the way for them to join the Alliance three years after their devastating defeat.

This golden age of Friendship and peace led to the drafting of what became known as the Flagship of the Alliance: Endeavor, a ship that, combined with all three's technology, was nothing short of a military masterpiece.
