First Many

The First Many were the initial ten thousand Alyssian refugees that made first contact with the humans of Earth, that eventually led to the merging of both societies and laid the foundation that would become the United Federation. Having lived in space without the ability to properly establish a new livable planet for themselves, the First Many tracked down Earth, and immediately began to observe them, learning the human ways, idolizing them for their general views on equality, and realizing that many of Earths problems could be solved using the technology they possessed (ie: world hunger, famine, rising medical costs). The First Many merged with humanity, and as of 2115, only one member of the First Many remains, having been a mere infant at the time of arrival in Sol.

Origin
The First Many were originally a band of Alyssians known as the Light, an underground organization that wanted to unite and overthrow the oppressive regime the Empire fueled itself from. Members of the light came from all walks of life: servants, doctors, priests, slaves, soldiers, politicians, engineers, and even a few members of the Emperor's death squad were with the Light, voicing their opposition to the oppression that the Empire condoned every day.

On the Day of Reckoning, Alyssia was destroyed, and the members of the Light decided that the chaos that ensued proved to be the ideal time to unite and strike. Using the combined resources of all members in the organization, the First Many were able to commandeer several hundred colony ships and use them to pick up and rescue a large number of Empire slave cities across the system, leaving the majority of the Empire's ruling class behind. The First Many then departed at warp speed, hoping to leave the galaxy. Alyssia went supernova, and the Empire evacuated with a majority of it's fleet intact. However, due to the First Many's deception, the Empire lost almost half of it's population in the explosion, as many people no longer had a designated evacuation vessel. Angered at the betrayal, the Empire blamed the detonation of their sun on the First Many, stating it was a terrorist attack and an attempt at wiping out the Empire to form a new one.
