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" |
