Editing Galactic Civilizations (section)

===Story===
The game is set in the future.  Humankind has made contact with the 5 other major alien races.  Space travel is risky and expensive, requiring huge jump gates which only permit travel between two specific points.  Because space travel is so difficult, the galaxy remains mostly uncolonized.  The humans make a great discovery&mdash;hyperdrive.  It permits fast travel between any two stars.  The humans share their discovery with the other five major races.  All communication stops.  The humans consider that sharing their discovery may have been a mistake.  Now that the galaxy is open for exploration, there's going to be a rush to claim all the uncolonized worlds.
