The warning tribes of Batoon 5 were the Bright Moss of the open canopy and the Cave Clingers of the Deep. They fought for there spiritual religionus beliefs they were build their forces to get rid of the other. Each side Prayed to the great one and as they charged eachother, from the skies a human ship crashed inbetween them.
They were awe struck each tribe offered the gods a tribute for the gods to kill the other side but it was not to be the ship attempted communication and with the help from a spirit and newly reborn Alpha Care-taker, it went well enough that things didn't end in bloodshed.
Since that day the Feugei have been uplifted by humanity to join the stars, they took lessons from the contracted to naturally introduce them to the spirits. Using spirit help they were able to clear up there planets atmosphere allowing more orbital traffic to come to their planet without everything going up in a ball of hell fire.
When they finally ended training the great one opened, on it's own power and there appeared a Passage Rift. Much like humanities it has yet to be explored in fullest.
