When Earth's terraforming program dispatched ships into space to establish new human settlements, they discovered an unexpected planet that supported life. However, the fact that the alien ecosystem was more advanced than the initially found basic life forms was unknown to the scientists.
Thousands of years later, an expedition vessel dispatched by the Portiids and their humans is tracking broken radio transmissions. They find a system in turmoil, with rival groups attempting to rebuild after the cataclysmic event caused by what the first terraformers awakened all those years ago.
