Ask for details about the war, its status and its origins.

60: So how did the war start?
Hygen: Well, it started back on our home planet many years ago:

A strange object crashed in one of the desert regions. At first, we thought it was a regular meteorite, but it was very unlike anything we have seen before.

Some scientist brought it back to their laboratories to study it. It appeared to be some kind of mysterious alien nanobots, but they were dormant. They tried to pinpoint it's origins but came up with nothing.
Then, something went wrong, and the nanobots created a virus that infected us robots. Those who came into contact with it lost their armour's colour, and eventually became the first Alpans.

The Alpans quickly gained power and numbers. The virus not only affected robots, but any kind of machine. Eventually, they drove us out from the planet, and started fighting us wherever they could find us.
Snarr: Why did they want to fight you guys in the first place?
Hygen: Maybe they want power? Or they want to control the universe? No one knows for sure.
60: So what is the status of the war?
Hygen: It appears to be a stalemate. We managed to find a way to prevent them from infecting any more machines, but they still have control over many resources over various worlds. And of course, some species decided to ally with them.
