A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Wow. This is actually the plot for one of the side quests in Starfield. Neat idea; i'd like to see it done in a better game.
It's actually a pretty common sci fi scenario, I remember reading about it in a pop science book in school
It was in The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, or in the series at least. His scenario was two warring planets sending out armadas to fight each other, but while they were on their way faster ships were created and sent so when they got there the battle was already over.
It's a widely talked about issue with deep space travel.
There is a recent-ish game that uses this exact premise

It's stolen from Elite: Dangerous. You can find a few of those colony ships drifting around deep space, but you're warned with heavy penalties to not interact with them, for this exact reason.
Mm yes they definitely stole this decades old concept from 2014's Elite Dangerous.
I mean fair, but the original ELITE was released in 1984 and is essentially the same science fiction universe. You're right though, it's not a new idea
