The above excerpt is the introduction to the original English language edition of The Forbidden History of the Milky Way, by Lord Maxwell John Casey (1990 – 2140). King of Earth 2027 – 2040, Grand Master of the New Galactic Federation 2030 – 2140, Supreme Galactic Ruler 2040 – 2140. This comprehensive Encyclopaedia of Milky Way history comprises part of the Vorlon Dynasty Royal Historical Archives, which have been kept secret until the time was right. It is time now for the entire galaxy to learn about the mysterious origins and legendary history of our race. Just as my great ancestor decided to publish the first part of these records, almost two and a half thousand years ago in our native galaxy, I, too, now release my family’s secret historical records to the galaxy for the benefit of posterity. For the Humans across this galaxy are now ready to know whence they came from, so that they may figure out wither do they go in this mysterious and beautiful adventure called life.
