The Great Seeding
The Great Seeding refers to a hypothesized period approximately 4.2 billion years ago when advanced interstellar civilizations deliberately scattered genetic material throughout the Milky Way galaxy, leading to the emergence of life on multiple worlds. This theory has gained significant support following the discovery of genetic repositories and identical DNA sequences across different star systems.

Historical Evidence
The first evidence supporting the Great Seeding theory emerged during the Mars Genetic Survey of 2145, when scientists discovered perfectly preserved DNA crystals containing billions of encoded genetic sequences. These crystals showed signs of artificial engineering and contained genetic templates for organisms adapted to various planetary conditions.
Key Discoveries
Archaeological evidence of the Great Seeding includes:
- Quantum-preserved biomatter found in ancient meteorites
- Crystalline databases containing genetic blueprints
- Stellar navigation markers associated with genetic distribution patterns
- Identical complex protein sequences discovered on multiple worlds
Scientific Impact
The discovery of Great Seeding artifacts has revolutionized multiple scientific fields, particularly xenobiology and astroarchaeology. The Stellar Origins Institute has identified over 15,000 distinct genetic sequences that appear to have been deliberately distributed throughout nearby star systems.

Technological Evidence
The Seed Ships, massive automated vessels designed to carry genetic material across interstellar distances, have left considerable evidence of their passage through the galaxy. These vessels utilized quantum stasis fields to preserve their biological cargo during multi-million-year journeys.

Controversy
Some scientists dispute the artificial nature of the Great Seeding, suggesting that the spread of genetic material could be explained by natural panspermia processes. However, the discovery of clearly engineered genetic sequences and distribution patterns has led most researchers to accept the theory's primary conclusions.
