lol a race later known as BLACK MATTER found that it was the only form of life. It decided that it would make more, and spread the seeds of life on many worlds. Eventually, this formed the Klingons, Vulcans, Romulans, and Humans, amongmany many more. In Star Trek: Captain's Glory, another race of black matter, composing about 98% of space, managed to get through the galactic barrier that kept them out. There they found life, and wanted them to be absorbed, or to have them join them. Not for the need or want to kill them, but to save them. To give them complete peace. The blackmatter beings only showed up near the star ships' reactors, as it was basically their portal. Captain Kirk's adopted son also happened to be one of them, but a light version, the kind that seeded carbon life. Through the book, the the many species wperience problems, save for the Romulan Empire who had a different kind of warp drive. All warpdrives were taken out of the ships, because they kept overloading and blowing up their ships. If you want to know more, listen to the book if you're on a road trip. It took most of a day for us to finish it. lol
