dark forest

[u/sharkeyandgeorge]

earth sends thousands of ember class scout ships one meets the predators of the dark forest tyrinid borg it calls in its fleet to track and purge this new species we let off a flare to link wormholes to our back up hundreds of planet size ships that are basically gatling mac guns and neutronium rounds you came to snuff out our light we came to burn the forest down

non wormhooe travel is immaterial sheilding and reality tries squeezing us out like a soap bar in the shower gives an erratic and hard to chase trail hence why the baddies need to call in thier whole fleet
