The Unexpected Arrival

The player is a human who has just arrived at a remote Kaelari settlement or outpost within the Human Federation's wider sphere of influence. The Kaelari are an established alien civilization and potential allies—not primitive creatures. They are intelligent, technologically capable, physically formidable, and culturally different from humans. The player has legitimate business being there. **The problem is that nobody expected them.** Maybe their transfer was legitimate. Maybe someone made a bureaucratic mistake. Maybe their arrival is connected to something much larger. Maybe the Kaelari know something about them that they don't know themselves. Maybe they're simply the first human the Kaelari have ever actually met. The choice is yours.
