Editing Blue Giant:Cygnans (section)

==Introduction==

About a thousand or so years before the humans first took to space, a race of creatures called the Slugs developed a subspace field drive. They used it to slowly explore a region within the Cygnan spiral arm of the galaxy. They came across the species called Tumbleweeds who gained interstellar travel technology from them. The Tumbleweeds quickly explored the region and discovered several intelligent species, including the Lattice and Rourke's Spiders. They traded knowledge and technology and developed co-operative colonization techniques. This [[Blue Giant:History#The Cygnan Empire|co-operative venture]] lasted for fourteen hundred years until they met the human species who started the [[Blue Giant:History#The Cygnan War|Cygnan War]].
