Only the creator of the revolutionary psychohistory science, Hari Seldon could see the future that was fast approaching. It was leading them all to a very gloomy age of barbarism, ignorance, and warfare. All of this would last for thirty thousand years. To save humanity and for preserving the knowledge gained, Hari Seldon gathered some of the most intelligent minds of the Empire. Those included scholars and scientists. He brought them to a bleak planet that was right at the edge of the galaxy. The purpose was to serve there as a guiding light of hope which was meant for all future generations. That sanctuary by him was called the Foundation.
