War... War was a natural part of the human existence. It was, in a way, the pinnacle of humanity's struggle to survive in this universe. And while there were some species across the galaxy that were the exact opposite in humanity, insofar as they were pacifistic.
Their civilizations did not tend to last long, as peace was contingent upon all parties agreeing to such a concept. But the Germanic race was a breed of humans most well known for their capabilities on the battlefield.
For thousands of years, the Germanic peoples fought wars among themselves and their neighbors. Mastering the ways in which another man can be killed, and spreading their lineage across their home continent of Europe.
Only to grow bored of such efforts and instead sail across the Earth's vast oceans. Where the other nationalities they had spawned fought within every jungle and desert known to man at the time.
