A human nation nicknamed The Dominants by other species owns over half the galaxy. In this half of the galaxy, opression is common, and anything not human is more than likely enslaved or at the very least poorer than dirt, and separated from the human sectors.
Recently, a war has opened up betwee the Human Dominant forces and the Alpha-Beta Coalition (basically an alliance of the other half of the galaxy.), and most Dominant forces leave your planet to join the war. Now is the time to take action.
A good chunk of the opressed population opts to wait for rescue. Some charge towards the front to join the fight directly with stolen ships, or by hitchhiking. Others decide to revolt right at home.
