Conflicts between races have always been a thing at least in my experience. When we got to the stars I was surprised how long it took for us to find an other to attack, but I wasn't surprised how quickly the fight was over. - Chronicles of Lorentino
Space Conflicts haven't all been as cut and dry as versus mechanical monstrosities or literal creatures from the damned. The first conflict the RiG's got themselves into was against the Rondyne. It's not really in the history books, the conflict was more "Oh shit ships that aren't ours open fire, oh god they are better armed than we are, surrender surrender!" There were talks, RiG's agreed to keep to a specific part of space and the Rondyne agreed not to annihilate everyone on Ronerawth. It was a nice compromise at first.
Of course not knowing the sea of Sociopaths the Rondyne spared they weren't prepared for the next conflict when we used magic and our newly developed weapons to establish dominance. This battle too was short, but the RiG's won handidly and the Rondyne agreed to allow us more room to grow in exchange for their own not annihilation. Ever since then things have been mostly quiet from the Rondyne. They don't screw with us, we don't screw with them, that even lasted during multiple extinction level events. Which was nice.
Of course I knew even then that something would drive us back to being either enemies or allies. I just had no idea of course that it would involve my son. I should have, the galaxy is a weird awful place at times, but even still, it was a bit surprising to see him with the Rondyne. I wasn't angry, I was dissapointed.
