THE BELIEVERS

[Juliastar]

It's been at least a hundred years since Gim's victory over Kore; nobody really keeps track now. Ever since Gim's rulers realized how powerful they were, things have been going downhill. Most of the human population is poor and starving, except if you got lucky somehow and you're living in the richer part of Gim's capital, Sonica. But not many humans live around that part of the planet.

Us humans like it where it's quiet, and the best place for that is either the countrysides or the poor part of Sonica. That's where almost every human lives. It's not pretty or anything, but it's better than nothing. Sure, buildings are dilapidated and kind of gross, but things weren't always like that. When the war first ended, humans were actually successful on their new home. But things just sort of fell apart over time.

Oh, and the rest of the aliens on Gim? Most humans don't really make any contact with them- none of us are completely sure about why, but I bet the aliens know. I guess it's kind of weird calling them the aliens, since they were here first. We usually refer to the original people of Gim as the Natives, though there are a lot more kinds of species here. Humans, Natives, and aliens don't really mix. They tend to get into arguments over stupid stuff, so we don't even acknowledge them unless it's necessary.

But there's this one group of humans- they call themselves the Believers. Supposedly, their goal is to make a truce with the aliens and somehow return to Earth, but to the rest of the humans that seems ridiculous. Nobody's even spoken of Earth in ages. But the Believers have their mind set on it, and it doesn't seem like anybody's going to stop them. I don't think anybody in charge of Gim (The Natives) even knows they exist. But with the progress they've been making, it doesn't look like that will be the case for much longer.
