The Supleh Apology

"P-please, we swear we are a harmless species, just... Remain in the Big Blue and let us remain at peace. We saw the war, we heard the deaths, we fear our own. Xenos bring nothing but fear and death. Please leave us in peace..."

The Supleh Apology is an odd name for an interstellar union of planets under a single species. Nevertheless, this is the name the Supleh wrote down on the official Intergalactic council form for species uplifting. Perhaps the common language had not been taught properly yet to the Supleh diplomat by the Hefestite representative. This event would be exemplary to the entirety of the Supleh Apology's early interactions with the intergalactic community and universe at large. Especially after the Zuhl wipe of the Hefestite Enlightened Quingdom.

History
"We told them our past so they might learn from it. We gave taught our skills so they might improve from it. We gave them our contacts so they might benefit from it. But in the end, we gave intelligence to a happy people who will never be confident as they learned nothing from their own past, who will never confident as they never developed their own skills and will never come out of their shell as they never sought contact on their own terms. Now we perish, as will all we nurtured in the Supleh. Who can help them now? "

The Supleh Apology can commonly be referred to as two things: Xenophobic and peace-obsessed to the point of constant fear. These traits are sadly understandable, seeing as where the Supleh come from.
