Conquere the stars
#WritcoStoryPrompt69

The year is currently 4000, humanity lives among the stars. My ancestors are originally from earth, but I currently live on planet Zeldra discovered and put in the care of Grandmaster Zeldrana Patricia Gale. You see, we humans have successfully colonized our solar system and beyond. For the last 1300 yrs humanity has had full access to the technology necessary to explore and colonize what was once the unattainable. Because of the advances in technology a new and actually functional branch of military was formed. Men and women all over the world trained to join the Galactic Special Forces or GSF for short. Thus deep space exploration began on a large scale, and soon after colonization. First there was just lots more to learn, then planets to explore, and then unexpected negotiations. While there were definitely uninhabited planets that were discovered among those who could support life, some were already well lived on and governed.
There were plenty who understood humans were not alone. Some were surprised, shocked even, to find lifeforms both humanoid and otherwise.
As per orders most were smart enough to try and find a ways to communicate and negotiate for territory to colonize, build, and learn if the planet was inhabited. Our sister planet was one of the first technological and naturally peaceful of all the prosperous colonized planets where such methods were beployed. It may be because they desired the resources Zeldra posses or outbof pure curiosity. Either way Grandmaster Gale came through again with another success. She is a genius among her ranks and Gorgeous to boot!The were plenty envious of her success in the feild and other areas. Jealousy led to competition and competition led to the incompetent taking hasty shortcuts. Unfortunately, there were those who took the primitive route and decided on their own that we humans were superior and tried to use force. Even in the face of success, this was very frowned upon and after about the 3rd forceful take over it was made illegal. This was the beginning of the Galactic rogue army, and the true accention of Grandmaster Gale.
The man who began Rising the galactic rogue army was once known as Donovan Von Heigl, Grandmaster Gale's former second in command. Over the years they worked side by side toward reaching their goals. After long years of hard work and partnership Gale felt that he deserved a higher promotion for all of his hard work, to become her equal. Little did Grandmaster Gale know, he was just biding to make his treacherous plans come to fruition. The beginning of the yet another terrible skuffle among the stars was all but set in stone with one phrase uttered by the grand elder: "Donovan Von Heigl you are hereby promoted from Captain, to Master Donovan Von Heigl!"
In this brief moment of bliss and happiness felt for what she thought was her true friend, Grandmaster Gale could've never imagined that the worst of the wars would come at the hand of her best friend and former captain and subordinate.
After trying to impress her turned into tricking his old friend, crush, and rival into helping him up the ranks; Donovan Von Heigl newly promoted to master Donovan Von Heigl celebrated his bittersweet victory. In truth, he was still very upset that he was only promoted to Master and not Gale's equal of Grandmaster. For he unrightfully so felt he deserved and equal to or greater rank than Gale. Even knowing how hard she worked even without him to achieve colonizing an uninhabited planet with solo command. Also negotiations for a successful colony in a previously habited planet well seamlessly blending into its environment with its people were all but finished before he ever came in to help. While he did lend a helping hand in...
