Greedy miners didn't hesitated to break, having no clue that their discovery was truly a ship of long forgotten alien race which crashed there eons ago. At first it looked just like crystal wall. Unfortunate for them however deep below ground they found what ancients tried to hide forever. So instead humanity explored what they could - mostly ruins of their fallen empire, but also prehistoric cities deep underground. Age of Death took centuries of research and technology away, successfully making dreams of exploring outside their little planet to stay only dreams forever. In the darkness of outer space countless races lives on countless planets, each one as different from another as possible, but humans were never supposed to encounter them.
