Revolt

Mankind’s expansion into space proved to have its drawbacks at the onset. The strain on the physical body was worse than the mental strain of isolation.  What was needed were humans of extreme physical ability; worker bees able to handle the hard work of the most uninhabitable environments.

This need gave birth to the genetic slaves of space who served the norms, rather than those who traveled space in the cryogenic tanks.  Not all norms could afford the cryo tanks, therefore, they required the services of the slaves to perform even the simplest of tasks.

As the centuries went by and new worlds were colonized throughout the vastness of space, treatment of the space bound slaves worsened.  Liberties were taken with female slaves against their wills with no objections ever being raised; slaves have no voice in anything.  On one voyage the submissiveness changed to violence and altered the course of history.

There have been many stories as to why the slaves revolted on that voyage, but only they will ever know what triggered the violence that followed.  The slave crew put all of the norms to death, even those who were riding the cryo tanks.  The only norms that were spared were the children.

The original ships’ slave crew became pirates attacking other ships and freeing their slaves, putting to death all norms with the exception of the children.  The holds of these ships held a wealth of technical supplies and computers which held the sum total of all human knowledge.

With virtually unlimited wealth, the freed slaves built observatory stations at the outskirts of each subsystem that had a colonized world.

They built armed transport ships to patrol all of known space.  This space now belonged to the slaves, if the colony worlds wanted to trade with each other, they would have to deal with their former slaves.  Being unable to deal with the arrogance of their former slaves, the Norms exploded out into space to deal with this uprising.  Being unable to cope with the rigors of outer space the results of this confrontation were a foregone conclusion, the slaves completely obliterated all armed resistance.

At the time of the revolt a former slave, Millally, was the slave crewman’s chosen leader.  The ex slaves began to call themselves Millally’s People.  With the passage of time this was shortened to MILLALLY and so began the saga.
