Echoes of Stardust: An Invitation from an Alien Civilization

In the year 3096, the deep-space exploration vessel Hope discovered a mysterious planet in Sector Gamma-714, near the edge of the Orion Arm. It looked remarkably like Earth: its atmospheric composition, gravity, and other parameters were a close match, while its gravitational field fluctuated with an eerie regularity.

Captain Zhou Feng led a team to the surface, where they encountered alien guardians that were half biological and half mechanical. Devices on their chests allowed them to transmit neural information. As the team gradually uncovered the truth, they learned that this was the spark of life from the Ark Project civilization. Before its home planet was destroyed, it had once guided the evolution of life on Earth.

Just then, the black fleet that had destroyed its home planet arrived in pursuit. Zhou Feng activated a key interference device, and silver fleets from other Ark civilizations arrived to help cleanse the invaders. In the end, Earth joined the Interstellar Covenant as its thirteenth guardian node, ushering in a new interstellar era.
