Do you like Gal Civ lore? And if you do, what do you like the most?

I know that Gal civ is actually two things. There is the mechanical game and there is the lore. An it can be completely separated. And I know many peopkle just like the gameplay, but some also like lore, and I want to ask you this: do you like Gal Civ lore? And if so, what do you like about it?
