The Goth are not a single sentient race, but a
classification of what the Enlar and Gallite have called
semi-sentient. When the Union was formed at the start of
the Ancient Ignus War, all space fairing races where
asked to join the Union and fight to contain the Ignus
threat. At that time there were many races in the Galaxy
that had not yet discovered a means of inter-stellar
travel. Those races were not invited to join the Union
after they had progressed technologically to the point
of interstellar travel. These races became the focus of
oppression by the Union races, and in lieu of a true
threat, the Union focused it's attention on preventing
the Goth from becoming a threat. The doctrine of
"Preventative Action" was first proposed by the Gallite,
but was soon adopted by all Union races as a means of
preventing the Goth from becoming the "next great threat
to the Union."
