“When Jesus of Nazareth was dying on the cross, the Volkrin swept past him at a distance of less than a light year. When the Flame Wars were raging on Earth, the Volkrin hovered near Old Poseidon, whose seas had not yet been named and untouched by fishing nets. By the time the hyperdrive turned the Federation of the Peoples of the Earth into the Federal Empire, the Volkrin had already reached the edge of the space occupied by the Hrangians. The Hrangians never found out about this .. Like us, they were children of small light worlds circling the suns scattered here and there, and were not very interested in those who traveled through the cosmic void. They knew even less about them...” Translation: Oleg Kolesnikov
