Over ten million years ago, the first Nyxian accidentally crawled out of a subterranean cavern and gazed up at the distant starry sky...
That day happened to be perfectly clear. A violent hail storm had just passed, stripping away the thick layers of volcanic ash and toxic clouds. The shy Milky Way finally revealed its true form, like a luminous waterfall suspended in the heavens, its primary stars twinkling with captivating beauty.
The ancient, ignorant, primitive reptilian was deeply drawn to the brilliance of the cosmos for the very first time... He stood there, shivering in the freezing winds of minus sixty or seventy degrees Celsius, utterly mesmerized.
He witnessed the vastness of the stars and instinctively yearned to unravel the mysteries of the endless universe.
Perhaps all intelligent civilizations share a common trait: when faced with the infinite cosmos, they inevitably feel their own insignificance.
