They bit me!
OC
The universe is a really big place. Though it is believed to be infinite, the resources within it, however, are not...

According to the basic rules of commerce, depending on the availability of a particular resource at any given moment, its value can range from 'I'll pay you to take it' to 'I'll take both your arms, and your legs, and maybe your liver too'. Despite the advances in technology, one resource has never been successfully made more available through artificial means, resulting in the nature of the universe keeping its price at a premium. Every species owns at least one of this highly sought after resource in the form of their cradle world. To find an uninhabited world that is even mildly habitable, that can be lightly terraformed to suit one's preferences, is rare. It is more likely for one to discover a rift to an alternate reality than it is to happen across an unclaimed habitable world while exploring the universe.

Entire worlds have become commodities worth more than just the sum of the resources they contain. Emperors hold them up as prized jewels on their crown, trading the lives of millions within their populous for even a mildly habitable world located within the confines of another’s arbitrary defined territorial lines.
