Formation
The milky way is one of the oldest galaxies forming around 13 billion years ago, but for the first few billion years of the milky ways existence life could not evolve as massive amounts of Star formation caused large amounts of radiation.

First life forms and Spread of Life Across the Galaxy
The first life forms in the milky way were sing celled organisms 9 billion years ago. These organisms were launched into space during asteroid collisions many could survive conditions in space, these life carrying asteroids spread life across there solar systems and eventually whole galaxy. When bacteria crashed onto a planet there were 3 possibilities. 1 conditions are already suitable for life. 2 conditions are not suitable so the life evolves and adapts. 3 conditions are not suitable for life and life is unable to evolve to live and dies on the planet or moon.

First Space Faring Civilizations
After billions of years of evolution some life became intelligent enough to traverse space about 5 billion years ago. Colonization was done using many different methods.
