They came as refugees from a broken world. The Tu'Viri were survivors of a plague that had struck their homeworld, killing off much of their population in just a matter of months. At the time the plague struck there had been about 100,000 people in orbit aboard the space stations that orbited their planet. They survived in orbit for a few years, circling around their dead home until supplies began running low. The remaining leadership made the decision to convert the stations into Arks, using the thrusters meant for orientation to set them on a course into the unknown in the hopes of one day finding a new place to call home. The survivors put themselves in cryogenic sleep and for the next three centuries they floated through space until the entered our solar system, at which point the scanners aboard the Tu'Viri stations picked up Earth, detecting conditions similar to Corran, and woke the refugees.

Earth didn't detect the anomalies until they were passing by mars, travelling at a speed that would put them in our atmosphere in a matter of days. Humanity scrambled to ready themselves for the arrival of these unknown extraterrestrials. The militaries of the world readied to defend the world while diplomats and scholars prepared to make contact with humanities first alien race. We had no idea what to expect. At least until we received a signal revealing the peaceful intentions of the aliens, and their explanation of their lost homeworld and search for a new home. They offered us access to their advanced technology in return for acceptance on Earth, and we gave it to them.

Five years later Humanity and the Tu'Viri live together on earth in some semblance of peace. There is of course tension between species, the occasional outbreak of violence or protests in the streets, but for the most part the Tu'Viri are accepted as part of life. Kara'al is a young Tu'Viri woman who's settled in New York to try and find a job after moving from the refugee city built in the midwest from the remains of the massive space stations that had been de-orbited and brought down to the ground for the Tu'Viri to use as spare parts and building materials. She decides that she wants to see what human life has to offer, so she finds herself an apartment with the money she'd saved up working with a group of human scientists trying to understand the advanced technology her species possessed and begins searching for a job in the big city.

(Okay so there's a basic background for everyone. If anyone is interested in this idea then please, send me a PM and we can talk about how our characters could meet and where to go from there!)
