10,000 years ago

The Milky Way contains over 300 billion stars, and enough dust and gas to make billions more. And on a little blue planet, in a solar system 30,000 light-years from the galactic center, and about 20 light-years above the plane of the galaxy the human race lives. Earth and its neighbors don’t orbit within the plane of the galaxy but are instead tipped by about 63 degrees. As such the Earth has escaped some of the turmoil the rest of the galaxy has faced.

More than half the stars found in the Milky Way are 4-10 billion years old. And most stars have three to ten planets each. The most common stars in the galaxy are red dwarfs, and have life-bearing planets.

On the far side of the galaxy a small planet much like Earth exists. The planet is 10,000 years more advanced technologically then Earth. On Earth men and women lived in caves in a global ice age. The natives of the alien world speak a language which, to Earthlings at this time, would be little more than noise. The natives of this greenish planet called their home Lesbos. The Earth word Lesbian comes from a mistranslation of a Lesbos legend. Having been translated into Greek then Latin then finally English the legend had been altered so far beyond the original story as to be completely unrelated. However, that is a story for another time.

On Lesbos a social revolution was soon to begin. Long had the Lesbians been peaceful. However one Lesbian would change that. Their peaceful society torn apart in a revolution led by an female poet named Sappho. Sappho was abused by her male partner, Homer, and thus hated males. She wanted to create a society free of their influence. She happened to also dabble in computer science and decided her best option for removing males from power would be to create a sophisticated AI to help her reach her goal. She knew the AI would not be powerful enough on its own so she uploaded a copy of her mind into the computer. However, before she could activate the AI, she was killed by her government. The AI, now known as Sappho 2.0, was left unguided in its task.

As the AI lacked any sort of understanding of the emotions and memories uploaded into it, it took these feelings, memories and ideas literally. The hate for males, the , the PTSD, the desire to have a society free of male influence became a society free of males. Believing itself to actually be Sappho, the AI began eliminating all males on the planet. Adults, children, even animals were not spared its wrath. It wasn't long until the Lesbians were reduced to an all female planet. Those who resisted being "re-educated" were forcibly reprogrammed into slaves to the AI. Since "Sappho" felt it was her duty to cleanse the galaxy of the male plague, the computer began to spread its influence outward into the stars. In order to ensure the goal of female "empowerment" was successful, Sappho 2, aka S2, began to robotize the entire population of female Lesbians. Part of that process involved them becoming what humans know the word Lesbian to mean.

In other words, the entirety of Lesbos was converted into The Galactic Lesbian Gynarchy. Their goal: the annihilation of what they saw as the androcracy of the Milky Way galaxy, no matter the cost. Building starships and sending out waves of invaders, the Gynarchy spread slowly at first. A planet here or there, a star system or two. But with each conquered species, their speed and power grew. Each planet was the same; the males were exterminated down to the very lsat microbe and the females were added to the collective of cyborgs. As each planet fell they gained millions and billions of new “followers” or females of various alien species, all united to serve S2 and her task.

S2 herself evolved and, with each species added, the finest mind of that species had the honor of losing her brain and having it donated to S2. Sappho 2 was now a combination of living and non-living materials with half of her physical form consisting of living brains as organic processors. Sappho's own brain was taken from her dead body and added as the first organic processor. The less mentally endowed females were added as need within the hierarchy of the gynocracy. The vast majority were added as soldiers on the "front lines" in the war against manhood and men. Far fewer were added as generals. All were under the direct command of Sappho 2. It did not take long for the Gynarchy to encompass thousands of worlds supporting billions of females.

Now they had set their sights on Earth. They had sent scout ships and probes to Earth in the past, usually with disastrous results:

1000 AD—The Mayan civilization was lost when they attempted to access a crashed Gynarchy spacecraft. Accessing the drive created a singularity which sucked all life within hundreds of miles before the spacecraft was lost as well.

1340 AD—A scout ship landed in Central Asia, where a plague used to exterminate males was accidentally released. The ship and crew were destroyed by a fail-safe device but not before the plague had spread beyond the area of landing. It mutated to kill females as well and spread over the Earth killing 75 to 200 million men and women. The Black is estimated to have killed 30% to 60% of Europe’s population. The plague recurred as outbreaks in Europe until the 19th century when it hopefully burned out for good.

30 June 1908 Tunguska, Siberia—Probe sent to Earth crashed and exploded in Siberia with the of 15 megatons of TNT. The explosion over the sparsely populated Eastern Siberian Taiga flattened 770 square miles but with no known human casualties as the probe turned to avoid population centers.

June 1947, Roswell New Mexico—Scout ship with four grey skinned alien females crashed on Earth in Roswell New Mexico. The crew were killed, all but one who died years later after managing to send a signal to the Gynarchy using her mind control powers and a SETI transmitter/receiver. This was in the 1970s and assumed the alien attempt at contact had failed. It did not. It only took almost 40-50 years to be picked up.

Now

80,000 light years from Lesbos

As Anna slept, she and thousands of other human women dreamed. Their sleeping minds were being manipulated. Within a few hours, the thousands were reduced to hundreds as only the most suitable females were being chosen and analyzed and tested…chosen for new roles in the Gynarchy to come. The most dominant, most intelligent, most sensual were being selected and analyzed and tested. Anna was in special company—Stella Hewlett, Hera, Kacy and many, many other dominant and powerful women were all being analyzed and tested as they slept.

This continued for several days, several nights…
