Mothpeople have only recently come into contact with humans, back in 2522. Nanotransen officials got word of a planet with incredibly large plasma deposits, deep underground. A team was dispatched to investigate and shortly after, a mining operation was set up. Shortly after digging started, the mothpeople started flocking towards the giant floodlights lighting up the planet's dark surface. The miners initially mistook them for common pests, but were taken aback once they started talking and showing signs of high intelligence, even bringing tools of their own to help maintain the floodlights. They did not interfere with the operation despite being so affixed to the lights, so they were usually left alone. Basic interspecies communication was eventually established, cementing the mothpeople as a potential asset (a nonhuman asset, but an asset nonetheless).

A few months into the mining operation, they finally reached what they were searching for: the plasma deposits. However, they weren't nearly as large as initially perceived. Worse yet, the miners unearthed something far worse: Spiders.
Through this basic communication, the miners were able to explain the purpose of their operation. Seeing potential trade negotiation opportunities, some mothpeople hinted at the existence of much more lucrative plasma deposits. This garnered the attention of some Nanotransen higher-ups, and negotiations began. After the mining operation concluded, some mothperson entrepreneurs gave Nanotransen the locations of these deposits in exchange for cotton.


Giant spiders came out in droves and started overpowering the miners, killing several and injuring far more. The spiders, however, were preyed upon by the mothpeople for their delicious silk, which was a rare delicacy to them. Mothpeople came in droves, assisting the miners in the fight against the spiders. In the end, they succeeded in killing the tide of spiders, after which the mothpeople began to storm the cave and eat all of the webs.
The mothpeople continued negotiations with Nanotransen until the Species Equality Act was signed in 2550, granting them the right to work for them.
 
In the end, the miners were able to harvest what little plasma they netted. The miners were then commended for their bravery in the fight against the spiders, and the mothpeople started negotiations with Nanotransen until the Species Equality Act was signed in 2550, granting them the right to work for them.
