In Advent Rising, a common legend pervades the galaxy-that of a powerful, highly intelligent ancient race that will one day deliver the universe. They are known simply as Humans.   Some claim them to be the messiah, believing they will one day come to deliver the universe into harmony. Some simply see them as a symbol for eternal hope. Others see them as purely fantastical creatures existing only in the imaginations and storybooks of the young.   The Seekers, however, know that Humans truly do exist and see them as an enemy that must be destroyed. Under the guise of benevolent explorers they comb the universe and eradicate any Human colonies they find. Until now.   This year, gamers find out what it means to be truly Human.
