3. In the Golden Age we had already built Warminds. We already had solar system patrols ready to engage enemies. I don't see the Golden Age as an age of militarization but its clear it also wasn't a Star Trek utopia. The interesting question is why have these things? The Traveler is said to have shared knowledge with Humanity. Could it have told us of the Darkness?

Do we have any evidence that the Traveller actually spoke with Humanity? Perhaps we learned technologies from the Traveller simply by the fact that the Traveller existed or from creations of the Traveller like the Ghosts? In which case we couldn't have known about the darkness until it was too late.

Just to return to this, I found the evidence by accident tonight. Some guy named Jason Jones said this during an interview:

We don’t know if the Traveler was a ship, or a god, or a moon, or whatever, but we know this thing came and we know that it settled on Mars and that it began to share its amazing technology with us, and a city grew up around it, and all this.
