Fiction talk:Andromeda War

How will each empire get started?
This event is in danger of nothing happening from my point of view, events require preparation - a prologue perhaps - before the nitty-gritty stuff goes down. I'm sure each participating empire has its own reasons for wanting these artifacts, the thing is we're talking about needle-in-a-haystack style searching.

Perhaps we should comment on how each empire knows of these artifacts, perhaps they already have a couple, perhaps alien legends speak of them, perhaps they uncover one accidentaly during development or an expedition?

In the case of the Draconis. I was thinking they uncover one while exploring one of their borderworlds and they find a (partially filled) map that leads to a few others, their goal is to catalogue and uncover the secrets of each one before working out what exactly to do with them.
