After the initial disorder of the Great Chaos, the UOSF and the UO government on Aldaain began pondering how to unite the fighting species and factions and how to spread the word through the colonies now that all had failed. When UOSF engineers were able to get one of Aldaain's orbital shipyards online, the Government started to build a ship, capable of inter-stellar travel, that would visit every colony to negotiate a peace treaty.

However, shortly after the HemmoCruiser had jumped into jump-space, all contacts with it were lost. No-one ever saw the ship again, and the most popular theory is that the ship's FTL engine (first of its kind) experienced a major core malfunction, thus leaving the ship drifting in the endless depths of hyperspace. The failure of the first HemmoCruiser ship demoralized everyone in the United Orcs, and almost two years passed until the HemmoCruiser II was built.
