Estoria in contrast was a lush oasis of life in an otherwise desolate Galaxy. By some quirk of fate it had managed to survive the last million years complete with its precious cargo of life. For hundreds of thousands of years, Estoria had provided its inhabitants with all they desired, and in copious quantities. There was no reason, as far as Estoria could see, why its children had chosen to leave its protection for a solar system it knew to have been extinct for a good number of millenia. Not that they hadn't been warned. Estoria had summoned storms, earthquakes and volcanoes, of such ferocity as had never been witnessed before by its sentient inhabitants. Yet despite these clear messages of impending danger they had gone.

Well so they'd gone. They certainly wouldnt find anything and are bound to return in the next few years. In a way this was good, Since the evolution of sentinent inhabitants, Estoria hadnt been able to experiment as much as she had wanted. Now while her children were out at play, Estoria could do pretty well as she wanted. So, as her first act of independence she would celebrate with a nice long ice age. That would cool the spirits of her returning inhabitants.
