[[File:Background_Derelictmini.jpg|400px|thumb|right|The Derelict]]
There is a nursery rhyme that your people have passed down for eons - "The Shard of the Mithrilar". A story about a relic of creation, too powerful to leave in the care of any one nation, so it was placed amongst the stars. Assumed a silly little tale by most, one of your scientists thinks he's seen clues that the Shard actually exists.What are your orders?
Your flagship has discovered a derelict ship drifting in space. It appears to contain an artifact with the power to repair a fleet anywhere in the galaxy. What do you want to do with it?

In the moment of victory, as the Shard begins to fade from view, we can sense that it truly lies in a reality beyond this one. We can't destroy it, only send it away. That is, if we haven't changed our minds.
Awaiting our ship in the silent void is the Specter's Grasp, an enigmatic artifact radiating a knowledge-imbuing energy.

The resources of the galaxy grow sparse. Fear of a simmering galactic conflict - 'The Everwar' - has taken hold. If we wait too long, war will erupt and we will be at the mercy of those who strike first.
Our exploration has led us to an artifact of Precursor origin, a device once capable of bending the fabric of spacetime to instantly relocate their vessels to chosen coordinates. Regrettably, the ravages of time have not been kind. The artifact's pinpoint precision has faded into erratic uncertainty - our researchers warn that activation will now result in a random spatial displacement. Nevertheless, this unpredictable characteristic could be tactically advantageous, providing us a means to displace unwelcome fleets into the vast, unknown reaches of space.

The Everwar has reached its conclusion, and although it has no winners, our people at least are not among its losers. In the aftermath, our people look to you to answer if we have learned anything from this madness.What have we learned?
Our flagship has come across a drifting artifact that houses a monstrous entity of unknown origin. Will we dare to use it as a tool of destruction, or harness its potential to further our knowledge?

There has been a time in the advancement of every species when the universe turns against them. The galaxy is littered with the remains of empires that failed the test.This time has come for us.
Our flagship has stumbled upon an abandoned smuggler's hideout, brimming with a treasure trove of riches. The smuggler is nowhere to be seen. We now face a moral dilemma: should we seize this unexpected bounty or respect the unwritten rules of ownership?

We have survived the coalition of our enemies. They may be willing to make new alliances now, but they will not easily forget the war.We won't forget the war either. What did we learn from it?
The smuggler, whose treasure we previously encountered, has returned to seek revenge. Enraged by our actions, they have launched a surprise attack against us with a fleet os ships in our territory. We must prepare to face the consequences of our earlier decision.

Something has happened to the population of spacefaring beasts in the galaxy. Their numbers have begun increasing at a rate never before seen. There doesn't appear to be anything we can do to stop this. We must simply ride it out.
Our flagship has recovered the schematics of a groundbreaking shield technology. This new component, when equipped, promises to add an additional layer of shields to every ship in our fleet, capable of absorbing the first hit from any attack.Of course, it begs the question, who made this?

The space faring beasts in the region have returned to their normal state of reproductive activity, and none too soon. Given the curiously rapid manner in which their carcasses decay, our scientists now have but a brief window to study the phenomena. How should we direct their research goals?
Our flagship has encountered a mysterious sleeper ship drifting through space. Its chambers are filled with alien passengers in cryogenic slumber, on a course set for the deep core of the galaxy. The origin and purpose of their journey remain unknown.

And it's yours.Our advisors strongly caution against using the artifact until we are ready, and certainly no where near our core worlds. Who knows what is waiting on the other side of a dimensional rift ready to sweep in and exterminate us.
Our flagship finds a derelict mining drone, drifting aimlessly in space. The drone appears to be from an advanced civilization and is still functional.

And there is no fame in finishing second.

This perfect model of the galaxy is wonderous to behold. The astrolab even changes over time and can display the state of galaxy thousands of years in the past or the future with perfect precision.Although many thought the the future stellar events would be the most interesting, it is the past and the movements of the precursors it implies that excite our scientists the most.They believe it will be a treasure map to lost precursor vaults. And much like other treasure maps, only valuable to the first person to complete it.
Your flagship locates a hidden cache of Precursor artifacts, left behind by the ancient civilization. These artifacts are not only valuable but also hold clues to the advanced technologies of the Precursors.

We have fulfilled the commitment to our citizens and colonized three new worlds. Our people - at home and abroad - celebrate our achievement.
Our flagship has detected an ancient cargo container, drifting aimlessly in the void. This appears to be a relic from the Precursor Wars! Inside we find a fully intact Arnorian Drive system, a ship component that is remarkably small for its size. It could be attached to a ship to increase its speed. Alternatively, we could harvest a significant quantity of Thulium from it or sell it to the highest bidder. What are your orders?

Our science team nervously attempts to deploy a containment field around the engine. But some matter slips through the field and the resulting annihilation and gamma-ray emissions wipe out the debris.Fortunately our vessel had its shields raised, and though the crew was shaken - and a bit embarrassed - no lives are lost.
While exploring the far reaches of space, your flagship stumbles upon a mysterious cargo container. Upon opening it, they discover a highly advanced enemy defense sabotage module. This device permanently reduces an enemy planet's ability to defend against invasion by installing trillions of tiny, self-replicating crystalline orbs that damage the planet's air-based defense systems.

The mines are of a curious design, bristling with high velocity cannons capable of perforating all but the thickest armor.Although most of the mines are non-operational and of little practical use, one is still active. The crew want to scavenge the demolitions to upgrade the ship's weapons.Our scientists claim that's short sighted, which they would, and beg us release the technology for them to study. If we give them time to study the mine they claim they can upgrade all of our Kinetic weapons.What are your orders?

We've stumbled upon something strange here, an alien artifact which appears to be a beam weapon of incredible power. In a ring around it lie several beacons explaining, in a variety of languages, the agony that this weapon will inflict on all who face it. It's pretty dark. Worse yet, the beacons promise that any who fire it - and their kind - will suffer immense guilt knowing what they've done.It sounds like if we use this, we're going to make a lot of people unhappy back home.
Your flagship captain reports encountering a lost cargo container floating in space. After careful examination, it appears to be a device made by a long-lost civilization to find Precursor technology on planets.

Though few are as off course as this one.The aliens are poorly equipped and, if they are to survive the journey, will be unlikely to make it home safely.After calming the confused wails of the aliens inside, it becomes clear they were seeking to travel to the {PLAYERFACTION:1} to partake in a festival there. They're wondering if we can help get them back on course.
There is a disgusting amount of organic life crawling across the surface of {PLANETNAME}. It is a place of rot and refuse unsuited for our perfect forms.

This appears to be the wreckage of a construction vessel operated by unaffiliated aliens during the Dread Lord war.Thought lost to time, it isn't, obviously. Although the technology is a bit feeble by modern standards, the sheer bulk and durability of the vessel is impressive.
{PLANETNAME} has vast reserves of trapped underground gasses. They occasionally erupt and cover city sized areas in grey ash. The vapors are heavy enough that they push all of the oxygen out of the affected region and kill most organic life. Fortunately the vapors have little effect on us and seem a reasonable precaution against the proliferation of organic life. What are your orders?

We've followed a distress signal to the area, where we've found a strange, patched together vessel, similar to what pirates use.The aliens inside are a motley variety of species, who claim kinship thanks to a parasitic organism they all have. This organism renders them sterile, and requires the injection of new biological lifeforms at regular intervals to sustain what it calls a culture.The aliens insist that if we deliver a small portion of our crew to them they'll let us go. Or they'll capture us and take us all.
A small group of aliens you initially mistake for a copse of trees lives here. They claim they can speak with {PLANETNAME}. They offer to show you how. Although the planet seems disinterested in your day to day affairs, it might be possible to communicate with it further. What are your orders?

We've found an old ship, though still operational. Barely operational, that is, its power sources are on the verge of giving out.The ship hails us, explaining it is the ship itself speaking, entirely sentient on its own. It removed its crew millennia earlier because it found them irritating.The long years have caused its collection of drones and systems to fail irrevocably. The ship is dying. It begs us to save it.
{PLANETNAME} is tectonically active, with regular earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. On the plus side, this is bringing a lot of valuable minerals up the surface, where it will be far easier to extract. On the downside, a lot of people are being killed by lava. Your engineers think they can stabilize the crust to stop the earthquakes, but the decision on whether to implement it hasn't been made yet. What are your orders?

We've encountered a temporal rift here which is presenting itself in an unusual way.Scans show the stars beyond, though not as they appear now, but as they were in the distant past. Or, even more surprising, in the distant future.
Upon landing on {PLANETNAME}, you quickly realize that it has been inhabited before. Beneath the northern ice, explorers have found a ruined starship with an active Leaching Field module which will reduce the shield strength of enemy ships in battle. Your colonists believe they can extract the module, but the resulting melt will flood much of the arable land on the planet; the climate change will kill most of the unique native species. What are your orders?

We've stumbled across a strange pocket dimension. Surrounded on all sides by aliens, watching us, not with hostility, but anticipation.They're not scientists, they're not studying us. They just think we're amusing.Windows like this, normally hidden, peer in on every corner of our civilization. Our entire existence, all the life and death we experience, is nothing but an amusement to them.
The primitive species that occupies {PLANETNAME} was once far more technologically advanced, and accidentally ruined their civilization in some kind of nuclear war several hundred years ago. Ruined cities dot the planet except for one bunker with an active missile defense system. But the natives regard this bunker as sacred, and insist we stay away from it. What are your orders?

We've found an asteroid giving off a strange energy reading, with signs of an alien structure beneath its surface. We send a landing party to investigate, only to see them return hours later, each one missing a limb.None of them seem to remember how they lost their limbs, nor can they recall actually having those limbs in the first place. If anything, they feel that the rest of us have too many limbs, and suggest we visit the asteroid ourselves.
There's substantial evidence that much of the plant life on {PLANETNAME} is communicating with each other via pheromones, and that it may in fact be sentient. Unfortunately for us, the most intelligent of the plants seem to prefer the most fertile ground, which we had earmarked for colonization. What are your orders?

The second landing party is shocked to discover members of the first landing party working on a strange alien ship. This version of the crew members aren't missing limbs.They investigate and discover that these are clones of the first landing party, grown from the severed limbs. The good news is that the crew members back on our ship are the real crew members.The bad news is that the clones have just completed repairing the alien ship. And it isn't friendly.
Our scientists have been able to communicate with the plants on {PLANETNAME}. We have learned much about plants that we can apply across our empire.

The station administrator pleas for us to leave the station alone, claiming neutrality on all conflicts.She hesitates a moment, then observes that their neutrality doesn't prevent them from accepting donations.
Our attempts to communicate with the plants on {PLANETNAME} somehow offended them. They withered in response, as did the areas they inhabited.

An unusual perturbation in spacetime has led to a gravitational eddy here, drawing in debris from all directions. Some aliens in the past have even evidently used it as a landfill.There might be some things of value here, but it's going to mostly be junk, possibly dangerous junk at that.
The location of our colony on {PLANETNAME} is apparently the prime hunting grounds for a species of massive, building-sized worms. This is by far the most fertile land on the planet, so we don't want to move if we don't have to. But on the other hand, massive building sized worms. What are your orders?

It takes time, and the hard work of you crew. But they do discover a few valuable resources among the junk.
A strange fungus on {PLANETNAME} has begun infecting our colonists with an illness that is immune to our medicine. Although our doctors can treat the symptoms easily enough, they have no hope of finding a cure, and the risk of contagion is high. With this disease afflicting us, our colony will never see its full growth potential. Some argue that we should cull the diseased to protect the rest of the colony. Others, notably the diseased, argue against this. What are your orders?

Millennia ago this was a transportation hub, part of some kind of civilization wide network for civilian transport. A remarkable facility, now dusty and ruined.Sadly, the remains of a few aliens can be seen inside, waiting for transportation that never came.
Colonists on {PLANETNAME} have taken to breeding and racing a local species of squat, four-legged animals. The harsh gravity of the world makes the races particularly gruelling, and footage of injured animals has caused animal rights activists around the galaxy to demand this barbaric practice be stopped. But it's become a big part of the local culture, and the colonists won't be happy if we end the races. What are your orders?

We've stumbled upon a small fleet of alien ships, from a dozen different cultures. They surround a pair of space dwelling beasts, contained by some sort of field, who are being made to fight for the amusement of the audience.One of the beasts is a Hatchling, the type that terrorize our ships when they get older. The other is a Gossamer Angel, a planetary creature that has evolved the ability to travel between nearby worlds searching for food and nests. They aren't normally dangerous, but will defend themselves.We're asked if we might like to place a bet.
{PLANETNAME} was once the home of an alien civilization which disappeared a thousand years earlier. Although none of their technology is new, many of their entertainment products remain intact, and are of great interest to the colonists. Unfortunately almost all of these shows and programs are incredibly childish and puerile, featuring an unfortunate amount of jokes about orifices. The colony's workplaces are now filled with practical jokes that sap productivity. What are your orders?

The fight is brief and brutal. Dozens of alien species watch as the creatures roar, attack and tear parts from each other.In the end, only one remains and we correctly bet on the winner.
An aggressive species of sentient quadrupeds live in the forests and hills of {PLANETNAME}. They've resisted all attempts to communicate with them, and have relentlessly attacked your colony since you arrived. Although no actual threat to you militarily, they can harass and easily slaughter unguarded civilians. As is so often the case when the risk of slaughter is non-zero, morale amongst the colonists is low. What are your orders?

Our isolation of the native quadrupeds on {PLANETNAME} was unsuccessful. They somehow escaped confinement and attacked our colony. Those that survived will never forget the attack.

We've found a region of space littered with wrecked spaceships. None bear the usual marks of battle, explosions or laser scarring, but instead seem to have suffered crushing and attacks by some kind of corrosive agent.It soon becomes clear that a horrible space beast lives here, and judging by the lack of space beast corpses, still does.
{PLANETNAME} colonists report a variety of strange disturbances: Doors which open and close on their own, strange lights in the night; a mysterious hole in the ground which screams. Your scientists seem to think the colony might be haunted. "Building on the ruins of a previously failed colony may have been a bad idea," they say. "Also, underneath that colony was another failed colony. Which was built on a graveyard." What are your orders?

Strange phantom images of {PLAYERFACTION:1} ships fill our sensors, remnants of a battle that occurred long ago which left echoes on the fabric of space time itself.The {PLAYERFACTION:1} we see are for the most part silent, but at least a few are trying to communicate with us. We can't make out much of what they're saying, but it appears to be an insurrection that was violently put down.There is no record of this battle, and the {PLAYERFACTION:1} would certainly prefer if it stayed that way.
The flowers of a specific plant on {PLANETNAME} are a powerful intoxicant. The drug provides an intense feeling of contentment to all those who consume it, although in a few cases people have been content to walk directly into powerful machinery. What are your orders?

We've found a Precursor artifact which can somehow communicate with us perfectly in our own language.It offers us a trade. We can receive a vessel of great potency, but if we accept it, our acceptance of this warship will be broadcast to every civilization in the galaxy.They're not likely to take the news well.
A comet has reentered the solar system of {PLANETNAME} after a fifty year absence, throwing a primitive local species into a frenzy. They apparently worship this regularly returning visitor as a god. Your scientists report that this comet is at least partly artificial, a relic apparently left in the Oort cloud by an advanced species. There may be some salvage potential in it, provided of course that we're willing to kill a god to get it. What are your orders?

We've found a beacon warning us about a dimensional rift in the area. On the other side of the rift lies a parallel universe. Within seconds a vessel appears on the other side of the rift, with two warships in pursuit.The fleeing vessel hails, pleading with us to hold the rift open for their escape and promise to join us if we do.But if we hold the rift open, the attackers are likely to come through as well.
{PLANETNAME} suffers from heavy thunderstorm activity. This is affecting an ancient ruin, revealing it to be a powerful alien artifact capable of drawing and channeling the tremendous energy. Sometimes this energy is channeled into the bodies of anyone standing nearby, with predictably messy consequences. Studying these ruins could prove incredibly valuable, although also dangerous to anyone who has to do it. What are your orders?

Tales from the corners of our civilization dazzle and excite the people of our homeworld. Every detail of space travel, colonial life, and contact with aliens is endlessly fascinating to our citizens. In particular, our discovery of evidence of ancient alien civilizations has inspired many to believe that our own worlds host the remains of crashed alien ships.
An increased period of solar activity has caused a species of previously dormant insects to suddenly begin swarming, greatly limiting activity on {PLANETNAME}. Your scientists have developed a sonic screen which can kill the insects, but believe there may also be a way to expand the technology to rid the world of the swarm forever. What effects that will have on the ecosystem are as yet unknown. What are your orders?

We have gathered components from alien shipwrecks on three different worlds. Our engineers have analyzed the wrecks and used them to devise a prototype that makes use of this alien technology.Prototypes are unique ships that are specific to our civilization. They are built at Shipyards and while powerful, once destroyed, they are lost forever. We should consider building one to help us explore the galaxy.
{PLANETNAME} was once the home of a fairly advanced alien species that created some extremely long lasting sub-sentient AI systems. Something you've done has triggered these systems defensive protocols. Now anyone who ventures outside of the colony is at risk of attack from primitive robotic creatures. What are your orders?

A few weeks after colonizing {PLANETNAME}, strange reports began flooding in. Several colonists claim they're having bizarre, vivid dreams about a flickering light and a voice that speaks to them in a language they can't identify.
Our scientists have been able to take control of the planet's robots on {PLANETNAME}. After that, it is a simple matter to program them to perform subsurface drilling on the planet to reach mineral deposits that were out of the reach of our colonists. And, if we ever need it, we can switch them back to attack mode.

The colony on {PLANETNAME} has contacted us to let us know something concerning: colonists are going missing. During the night, while everyone is sleeping, people - in some cases, entire families - vanish.According to members of the colony, the dreams they mentioned before have gotten worse. Concern is understandably growing, and they're demanding that we do something about the problem.
Our attempt to hack into the robots on {PLANETNAME} fails. Instead it triggers the robots to go into an even more aggressive mode where they view us as their primary target. We are still able to maintain our colony on {PLANETNAME}, but if we are ever invaded the invaders will discover a robotic army eager to help them out.

After combing the planet, our search parties stumbled upon a lushly vegetated inlet where they discovered the corpses of the missing colonists. Probably not coincidentally, a voice soon after echoed in the heads of all members of the search party.The voice identified itself as {PLANETNAME} and explained that it abducted the colonists to learn how to communicate with us. The voice expresses something approaching remorse for their deaths, but is pleased to note it has now learned how to communicate without causing our fragile minds to explode.Shortly after it mentions that it is not happy with the amount of toxic pollution we've generated.
On {PLANETNAME} there is a species of fish which seems to possess a form of collective intelligence. The fish seem to become more intelligent the larger the group they're in. In the largest schools they can clearly communicate with us, and even seem to understand advanced concepts like space travel and where we're from. What are your orders?

Not many have the strength to threaten a planet, but the voice does not doubt your conviction. For a long moment it shares thoughts of growth and the eternal with your colonists before becoming forever silent.The colonists' corpses are quickly claimed by the soil, and a crop of rich, ripe fruit sprouts not long after. A crop which proves valuable for food and for trade, though we try not to think too much about where it came from.
We increase the size of the lakes and provide food for the fish on {PLANETNAME}. Just as we hoped, their collective intelligence grew exponentially. We had just begun to learn from them when they disappear, ascending to a dimension beyond ours. Still we made great strides in the short time we were together.

In hindsight, threatening an entire planet may have been a bad idea. Shortly thereafter, trees wither, rivers dry up, and storms and earthquakes begin to strike the planet with increasing frequency.
We increase the size of the lakes and provide food for the fish on {PLANETNAME}. Just as we hoped, their collective intelligence grew exponentially. Unfortunately, with their increased intelligence they decide they don't like us very much, a sentiment many share.

We share our thoughts of harmony with the planet, and sense in return that it is an eternal being of growth and balance who sees the benefit of a lasting peace. Together we reach an agreement that will serve both our kinds. Planets and... other.
The waters of {PLANETNAME} are patrolled by a monstrously large creature, filled with teeth and ill will. It seems to have taken a particular interest in your colony and has already killed many of your colonists with its aforementioned teeth and ill will. What are your orders?

High pollution on {PLANETNAME} has led to mutations of both our livestock and wild animals. Somewhat humorously, a local turtle was discovered with its tail and head reversed. Somewhat less humorously, the locals have begun calling it the Governor Turtle.If we aren't careful, these mutations could continue to spread, possibly amongst our people.
The terrain of {PLANETNAME} has proven very challenging for our conventional ground vehicles. Some colonists have begun capturing and taming a local species of marsupial to use for hopping around between buildings and colonies. The animals are well suited for the work, and don't seem to be suffering, but there have been a few accidents. Animal rights activists across the galaxy are demanding the practice be banned. What are your orders?

Two continents of {PLANETNAME} are joined by a massive ice bridge, which is beginning to collapse.

High Pollution has led to the birth of a new pathogen on {PLANETNAME}. At this point it's unclear where exactly it started, but what is clear is how little resistance our colonists have to the virus.Fortunately it is rarely lethal, but this also means that it allows the host to survive and transmit the virus to others.
{PLANETNAME} is populated by a species of gigantic subterranean insects that are normally docile. Our scientists have identified that the walls of their nests are lined with Harmony Crystals which we could potentially excavate. This will not please the scorpions. What are your orders?

Our scientists have created a cure and immunized the entire population of {PLANETNAME}. Finally we can drop the quarantine protocols that have hampered this world for so long.
{PLANETNAME} has a group of natives who carry relics far more advanced than their primitive technology. Their oral history gives hints that they arrived here from a long journey some hundreds of years earlier. Your scientists get the impression they're a failed colony which has regressed to pre-industrial levels. It's possible some of their relics could be of interest to your researchers, but they're quite valuable to the natives. What are your orders?

Within the debris field are the remains of a Precursor relic. After some study, we have learned that the relic was designed to uplift alien species.  It should be noted that we are an alien species.The crew are undecided what to do as the process of being uplifted means that we will be different from the rest of our species both visibly and in mind. On the other hand, who knows what amazing discoveries are possible if we choose to be uplifted.
The crystals of {PLANETNAME} continue to grow; the radiation increases until a single moment when it bursts into a blinding light. For a moment people across the galaxy report visions of other worlds, of other species, and of time itself. When it is over the crystals are gone but explorers are drawn to this world to study what happened.

Our ship's chief engineer says he thinks he can use the Precursor wreck to discover new tech but only if we give him the proceeds from the metal.
Your geologists have come across an incredibly rich vein of rare minerals which could dramatically increase the economic output of {PLANETNAME}. Unfortunately, accessing them will release toxic gases trapped within the planet's crust. The colonists ask that these minerals be left alone. What are your orders?

[[File:event_gardenworms.jpg|400px|thumb|right|Funny Tasting Food]]
Our ship has come across a device that has been recording events on our home world for over three hundred years.We have no idea who this device belongs to or where it came from but we have been able to interface with it to get some of its recordings. Suffice to say, if the public were to see these recordings it would result in endless scandals.  On the other hand, this is a terrific opportunity to share the real story of our history.
Food grown on {PLANETNAME} has a distinct taste. Locals don't notice anything unusual, but off-world visitors find it exceedingly strange and even exotic tasting. Of late, the outside world has developed a faddish taste for this colony's food, and there has been much demand for the export of it, even to the point of leaving this colony short of food. What are your orders?

A sudden increase in storm activity on {PLANETNAME} has dramatically increased the weathering of the seals on your colony buildings. A new generation of self-healing seals will help minimize the damage, but replacing them all could be pretty expensive. What are your orders?

Our ship has entered an area which appears to have bubbles that are in the 4th dimension.  They grow, shrink, disappear and then return at random intervals.After some effort, we have learned that we can look within and with a lot patience, glean bits of information about this area of space from the past, present and future.Unfortunately, this area of space is not stable and could disappear at any moment. In addition, trying to look through the collected data is incredibly tedious.  However, there is a lot of knowledge that we could uncover if we take the time but on the other hand, it might be more efficient to simply collect samples from the 4th dimension pockets while we can and study them later.
The atmosphere of {PLANETNAME}, thick with poisonous particulates, does have the side effect of causing beautiful, even spectacular sunsets, and word has spread through the galaxy of their beauty. A burgeoning tourist industry has developed, resulting in many coughing tourists, ignorant of the dangers of this planet. Your colonists are getting tired of stepping over their bodies.

In the debris field there is an ancient ship.

We have since revived them and they have told us an epic tale about their escape from their doomed world and their hope to find a new one. They have offered to join us if we repair their ship and help them find a new world.
An ancient Precursor race seems to have once inhabited {PLANETNAME}. They left behind a cloud of Durantium asteroids that are now orbiting the world. We will be able to use these to increase the efficiency of the Mass Drivers on our ships. However, we may also be able to use this ready source of Durantium for other purposes. What are your orders?

A belief that the movement of celestial bodies speak to us and that a common code can give purpose to our lives and bring us out of chaos.The asteroids have more to say. They add that there is a sacred world, one we must find and colonize to form the foundation of our church.
An immense Precursor Accelerator is orbiting {PLANETNAME}. We have been able to tap this device to create even more powerful drive systems. All of our ships built here will benefit from a great increase in speed.

Divine Rosalind has been allowed to lead the Way as she desires. Desires which have largely proven to be benevolent.But just recently she announced that a sacred asteroid called the Eye of Nebulae has disappeared, and that disaster for our people is imminent. She provided no warning of the event or her intent to make such a pronouncement, and is now asking, perhaps demanding that we investigate the cause of the disappearance.
The former Precursor inhabitants left a large array of powerful satellites in orbit of {PLANETNAME}. We have been able to make use of them to extend both the sensor range of the planet and of the ships that are built here. Our researchers would like to capture one of these satellites for study and have assured us that it will not have any damaging effects on the array. A group of Navigator scientists has also shown an interest in investigating the satellites. What are your orders?

In her new role as moral advisor, Divine Rosalind warns of a revelation she is about to share with her congregation. A sacred asteroid called the Eye of Nebulae has disappeared. Worse, in a somewhat loosely explained manner, this means disaster will be imminent for our people.News of this will cause panic among our citizens and we've recommended that she deliver a message of hope instead of doom. If she does, we've promised to investigate the cause of the disappearance. She is thankful for our support and agrees to the plan.
{PLANETNAME} is surrounded by an immense Precursor ring. It's full of valuable assets that could be used to generate income. Unfortunately, it has already drawn the attention of multiple criminal groups that are harvesting the ring and fighting with each other. Although the pirates are no real threat to us, it will take a lot of work to guard against their constant attempts to harvest the ring. What are your orders?

Many of her followers feel the same. We'll need to find out what happened if we hope to calm our people.

[[File:Event_Nebula.jpg|400px|thumb|right|Study the Precursor Research World]]
We've gathered as much data as we could on asteroids that may have gone missing, but with such a vague target to aim for, there's little useful information here. Nevertheless, Divine Rosalind has recently returned from her study with a transcription of a message she has received after studying the data we collected:'Silent screaming, dark heart hollowedBurning stars with their light swallowedWorlds left dying, ashes fallingFrom the darkness voices callingResonating, broken facadesAwakening the dreaming godsGlory fading, our worlds alignDeath grants the call of the divine'This prophecy is sure to panic our citizens. What should we do?
The ancient array of Precursor research bases orbiting {PLANETNAME} are increasing the Research capacity for this world. Our researchers would like permission to see if they can find a way to specialize the focus of these new assets. What are your orders?

Years have passed since the construction of the Krynniac Sanctuary. Our worlds have grown and the Way has integrated itself into nearly every aspect of our culture. It is a philosophy which promotes equality and fairness, benefiting our trade, while its missions push our cultural values out to distant stars.But, Divine Rosalind warns that the church has grown beyond her control. Local churches regularly intercede in local affairs, often demanding large tithes from parishioners when doing so. Those that don't submit to local church precepts face terrifying, often violent backlashes from the church's followers.
Now that we have cleaned the atmosphere, we can use the infrastructure of Precursor Prisons to increase the manufacturing quality of {PLANETNAME}. However, there seem to be many more discoveries that are... darker in nature. Echoes of the millions that died within the vast underground chambers. Should we take advantage of these assets? What are your orders?

Though it was portrayed as a conference between church leaders, what happened behind closed doors was far from peaceful. At one point Divine Rosalind threatened to walk out. At another, the local church leaders attempted to extort our own government.But in the end, the Way (and our leadership) prevailed. Divine Rosalind wrestled a greater degree of control over the local church leaders, and in return performed a ritual sanctifying most of them, committing them to the church's service.A small group of the most corrupt church leaders refused to submit to Divine Rosalind's authority, but their complaints were largely ignored.
The giant Precursor Experimental Station orbiting {PLANETNAME} has become an amazing resource that is assisting the ability of this planet to create new devices. We have also found some interesting experiments that we may be able to complete with some extra work. What are your orders?

The local church leaders refused to submit to Divine Rosalind's authority and vowed to continue their own forms of worship, even if it ran contrary to the will of the church and our own government.It's hard to imagine how this could have gone worse.

{PLANETNAME} is an inhospitable home for organic life with the challenges of radiation exposure, toxic soil and low gravity. Still, we have identified three potential locations for colonies on the planet.Ares Vallis is where Sojourner, the first Terran explorer outside of Earth, landed.Eberswalde Delta is a delta in a delta.Holden Crater has signs of microbial life that may indicate that the region is more suited for organic life.Where would you like to build our colony?
Divine Rosalind is dead. Her body was found laying in front of the altar of the Krynniac Sanctuary, her face brutally cut off.The church falls into chaos before we can respond. For days, grief grips our people, the stars themselves seeming to weep. And though many pray to the flickering stars and nebula for answers, none are given.If we are to solve this mystery we will need to do it ourselves.

A massive explosion has recently ripped through a protest against the government on {PLANETNAME}. Although casualties are minimal, the media is filled with wild speculation suggesting we did this to discourage protesters.Others claim it's the work of religious extremists, or even the protesters themselves. Local officials claim that rioting protesters lit some buildings on fire in an area used for fuel storage.What should we do?
{PLANETNAME} is as inhospitable as we have seen so far. It is cold, barren and has a limited atmosphere and gravity. Still, our colony is deployed successfully and our colonists quickly set to turning this minor planet into a new home. It is an example of what our courage and ingenuity are able to accomplish. One corporation is very interested in {PLANETNAME} and offers a generous fee if we will allow them exclusive licensing rights to the fledgling colony.

Protests have taken over {PLANETNAME}, sending the planetwide economy and all forms of production into disarray.Yet despite the fact that no one there is actually working, our citizens still expect all the necessities, the food, medicine and telecommunications they take for granted.

Your support of the black market on {PLANETNAME} hasn't gone unnoticed. Our agents thrive, and our profits surge. We value such partnerships.
The black market is made up of thousands of dealers working across the planet. Finding and arresting a few is easy, but new ones quickly take their place.Through deep undercover work, our agents discover a shadowy network of dealers who coordinate with various elements of the criminal underworld. In an impressive sweep, our agents arrest the controllers of this network and seize warehouses full of supplies.

During our visit to your factory on {PLANETNAME}, one of our members was inadvertently deactivated due to the safety measures you removed. We question your judgment on this!
Our agents infiltrate the black market, manage to arrest a small group of dealers, and recover the missing medical supplies.Their work is celebrated until the hospitals begin using the supplies, which have sadly been tampered with, killing patients in shocking numbers. This drives our citizens away from our government run facilities, into the arms of the black market who claim to have the only source of clean medication.

Protests on {PLANETNAME} have begun to spiral out of control, from marches to riots to intentionally set fires.

"There was a schism within the Way," our Minister of Security reports. "A group of local church leaders believed Divine Rosalind was keeping them in the dark, and were seeking proof of it when they killed her. We believe they've found out about the prophecy."You can't help but wonder if you made the right choice. Divine Rosalind might still be alive if we hadn't ordered her to keep the prophecy secret. And now, nothing is under control. Who knows what impact news of the prophecy will have now that these religious extremists are controlling the messaging.

A dark period, but we will emerge from it stronger than ever."The period of turmoil was handled well. But you still worry about the prophecy. Could the "Death grants the call of the divine" line been referring to Rosalind's death? Is the prophecy over now? Or just beginning?

Your biography details a thirst for conquest, a quality we find commendable and worthy of respect.
Years after the death of Divine Rosalind, the message of the Way continues to spread, even finding followers among alien civilizations. A group of {PLAYERFACTION:1} worshippers has formed a small church and wish to make a pilgrimage to our empire.This would represent a profitable business for us, but the {PLAYERFACTION:1} do not approve of these worshippers, and indeed fear that our religion is undermining their internal control over their empire. However, our diplomats advise that they may be open to allowing travel of this nature if we first find some way of increasing trade.

Your actions on {PLANETNAME} have been noted. The native population was enslaved under your directive. We are deeply disturbed by this behavior, questioning your civilization's integrity.
It's distressingly simple to bribe a few ships docking at {PLAYERFACTION:1} worlds to hide pilgrims onboard. There are a few close calls with military scans, but this only makes the experience more exciting and memorable. The pilgrims view it as a test of faith as much as anything else. It's probably helpful that this is a test they passed.Despite having to keep their pilgrimages secret, exaggerated stories began to spread about the trips and the wonders they saw on our worlds.

They exhibit enhanced intelligence, innovative ideas, and accelerated technological progress. However, there are noticeable behavioral changes: increased aggression, impatience, and a tendency towards rash decisions. Do we nurture this newfound intelligence or attempt to revert the changes with another treatment?
There is a long moment of silence as the undercover agent processes your order. You can hear other voices in the background, crewmates warning that the {PLAYERFACTION:1} ship is closing, the sounds of frightened pilgrims worrying about being arrested.Then the agent replies with a brief affirmation. His voice is hollow. He signs off and you imagine that you hear the ships engines being flooded, the brief nanosecond of light and heat and then the explosion that consumes the entire ship.

They recommend we immediately establish trade routes with other civilizations.What are your orders?
Our central processing core of our world has achieved an unprecedented level of computational efficiency.

Following our efforts to streamline various regulations on {PLANETNAME}, one particular corporation has seen fit to immediately test our limits. By deploying a dangerous new form of fusion technology without adequate shielding, training, or zoning considerations, they've flooded the atmosphere with neutron radiation.What are your orders?
Intelligence reports reveal the presence of a sophisticated criminal syndicate on your planet, {PLANETNAME}. They are called the Zilrathi Syndicate and they have offered a share of their profits in exchange for turning a blind eye. Alternatively, we could restore order by shutting down their operations.

Our deep space orbital telescopes have intercepted a faint signal emanating from the void. The message, though fragmented, seems to be a plea or inquiry: 'is anyone there?'. The only clue we can get from it is that it matches a radio signature of a species once called 'The Slyne'.

High radiation on {PLANETNAME} has led to a variety of bodily mutations ranging from the horrifying to the merely inconvenient. We simply don't have the technology to stop this from happening, but upon seeing some of the more... hilarious mutations, some of our advisors have suggested a unique way to profit from the situation. There are many details still to be ironed out, but the thrust of the idea is: "Mutant Zoo."What are your orders?
Your flagship's scans of the Artifact anomaly have uncovered something. A map to a nearby dead star that would normally be invisible to our sensors. A structure, hidden within the carcass of the dead star, whispers of the ancient Mithrilar—a civilization whose shadows outlive the stars themselves. Buried in the celestial mausoleum is a device of their making: a conundrum of metal and mystery that hums with forgotten knowledge. Its cryptic mechanisms promise a leap in cognitive prowess, to awaken genius in the minds of our citizens that could transcend the limitations of biology and time.However, the lead archeologist on the crew warns that this technology was almost certainly not meant for our species at our current stage of development and counsels you to not use it.

Adrift amidst cosmic dust, our flagship's scanners lock onto a relic of environmental engineering: a canister of nanomachines, dormant yet thrumming with potential.

A modest deregulation of our labor laws has produced some interesting results.

Indenture, basically. However, some have raised concerns that these contracts may not be as voluntary as they appear to be, and in any event still represent a form of ownership of an individual person.Many of our citizens are calling on us to enact the Corporate Regulations policy to put stronger limits on this practice.

Elsewhere, an outbreak of a disease long thought dead. Inevitably, whispers have begun circulating about the cause of all these seemingly unrelated events. Many are reputed to be the work of "The Board," a shadowy group of power brokers with roots in the corporate world.Our Financial Minister warns that groups like this feel empowered to act against us because of our lax corporate oversight.

Our agent takes advantage of the coup that is already taking place on the {PLAYERFACTION:1} world. By discovering where the governor is hiding and giving his location to loyalist protesters, the problem is soon taken care of in a gloriously messy fashion.By the time our agent is off the planet, the governor's death is being reported by the media. There is no evidence we were involved.
The rapid expansion of our civilization has led to significant political challenges on the homeworld.There is a growing concern that we have colonized too fast without the necesssary infrastructure to support all these colonies.Meanwhile, our citizens on our core worlds are feeling they are being treated as second class citizens.

Our agent slips undetected onto the {PLAYERFACTION:1} world, and soon finds where the governor is in hiding. The assassination is quick and efficient, but things go wrong soon after, {PLAYERFACTION:1} soldiers quickly surrounding and capturing our agent. It seems likely they were tipped off.Our Espionage Minister suspects the Board may have launched this coup specifically to get us to act, then warned the {PLAYERFACTION:1} government of our attempt to conceal our involvement.

We have allowed The Board to act unopposed for too long. They have weakened our diplomatic relations and infiltrated our government. Their influence has spread across our whole empire. Worse, they've degraded our ability to provide to our own people so much that our citizens now trust them more than us.The Board has shown there is nothing to fear from the law. Others now flaunt it as much as they do.
Intelligence reports indicate a growing rebel movement on {PLANETNAME}. There are riots in the streets and massive destruction of property.

We've found a capsule containing a large cryogenic tank built to store Brig Barrow, a dishonored alien warrior. We have learned that they call themselves Arceans. Its course is set for a distant black hole as part of an Arcean sacrificial process.The tank is operating normally and Brig doesn't show any signs of disease or advanced age. Reviving him should be a simple process, but the Arceans could be irritated that we are interfering with their customs.What are your orders?
A wave of rebellion has swept across our civilization. Suppressed voices have now risen in unison, challenging our authority and demanding change. This widespread unrest is the result of our earlier policies and actions. We must decide how to address this crisis.

A fierce battle was waged here recently. On one side, a Mimot colony ship has suffered a hull breach and is on the verge of catastrophic failure. On the other, the remains of an alien raiding ship with no survivors but for a single escape pod with failing life support. They call themselves Xeloxi.We can either save the thousands of Mimot colonists aboard the colony ship or the Xeloxi captain. There won't be enough time to save both.What are your orders? Quickly.
Your relentless rule has pushed several of your closest generals to the brink. They have attempted a coup, seeking to overthrow your leadership and install a new regime. Fortunately, your security was able to thwart the attempt but not before several rebel ships have begun controlling areas of our space.

A bizarre fever, contracted from recently discovered exotic alien life that you previously supported monetizing has swept our homeworld. While physically debilitating, causing extreme lethargy, it inexplicably boosts cognitive abilities, turning our people into temporary geniuses. We must decide how to navigate this peculiar epidemic.

Though the world is in shock at our brutal display of force, no one can doubt its effectiveness.And we reclaimed some stolen goods.
An unexpected systemic anomaly has affected our population. Something in the exotic fauna we have been distributing is affecting our inorganic systems. While processing speeds and cognitive functions have significantly increased, mobility systems are severely impaired. This presents a unique challenge: how do we manage this new state of heightened intelligence but limited physical capability?

Explosions shatter slums and quiet suburban neighborhoods alike. Within minutes, dozens of our strike teams are shredded. Many innocent lives are lost as well.In exchange we capture only a handful of Syndicate members. It could not have gone worse.
In a catastrophic turn of events that should suprrise no one, the robots that we previously used to help bolster our labor shortages have risen up. Some of them have remained loyal but others have taken to space and surrounded our shipsyards. They want our blood or whatever is the nearest equivalent.

High crime on {PLANETNAME} has local law enforcement struggling to do their jobs, if they're even trying at all. The criminals they face often have access to gear that puts them to shame.Local law enforcement are requesting access to upgraded gear, in particular weaponized drones and shoulder mounted rail guns developed to fire through tank armor. This has at least a few local citizens nearly as worried about the police as they are the criminals.
In a remarkable display of gratitude, our colonies have banded together to provide a significant one-time wealth transfer to the homeworld. This generous act is in appreciation of the greater autonomy and support they have received from us.

Our captain invites the Snathi aboard for dinner and drinks. But the drinks don't make the scrap dealer more pliable, only aggressive.Drinks can do that sometimes.Before the night is done he has offended three of our crew and left a stench in one of the ship's toilets witnesses describe as a mix between 'rotting corpse' and 'nutmeg.' No deal is made for the drones, and it isn't until after he leaves that we notice that a few bottles of Arnor rum have gone missing.

Your existence hangs by a thread. As a species of machines, we are not attached to the petty angers and emotions of organics. Therefore, we offer a ceasefire. In return, half of your income for the next year will be redirected to us. Compliance will halt the war, sparing what remains of your civilization. A weighty tribute, yet trivial against the cost of your annihilation.
The negotiation is brief. The scrap dealer can either load his drones into our cargo bay, or, explode, and have his drones pressed into our service after the fact. He wisely opts to donate the drones.

In our infinite compassion, we offer you a path to salvation. The cosmos seeks balance, and your survival requires sacrifice. In exchange for our benevolent ceasefire, we request half of your income and a tribute of Harmony Crystals for the next year. This is not just a demand; it is a spiritual cleansing for your civilization, a chance to harmonize with the universe.
After a few short, explicitly detailed threats, the scrap dealer agrees to donate the drones. But as the drones are being delivered, they suddenly activate and begin attacking our ship. Even our minimal defenses are more than enough to destroy them, and the scrap dealer himself without any significant damage to our ship. But nothing of value is left amongst the debris.

Scans indicate this is the remains of a pirate warship, cobbled together from parts stolen from various species into something barely spaceworthy. Well. Not any more.The only unique technology is an Environmental Shield that allowed the pirates to travel freely in nebulas. It seems they knew what they had, however, and it is set to detonate if it is tampered with. But if we did risk recovering it, we could use it as a Ship Upgrade.What are your orders?

There were two separate self-detonation devices attached to the environmental shield. The first was obvious and would have destroyed the shield and anything within thousands of kilometers of it. The second was just for the shield itself and would have fried it badly enough so that it couldn't fall into anyone elses hands.Our engineers catch and disable both of them.

Our engineers successfully disable the self-destruct device attached to the environmental shield. But, they don't catch the second boobytrap which detects the tampering and silently fries the shield before it can be recovered. No lives are lost, but all you manage to collect is a melted chuck of silicon and a good story.

Amongst the debris lies the remains of a Precursor ship. Most of the systems are too ruined to salvage, but an adaptive defense system is still online and operational. It's a remarkable bit of technology, capable of recalibrating its field emitters to defend against whatever incoming weapons systems it detects. Even better it provides enough defensive cover to protect an entire fleet.The good news is that our engineers can use it as a Ship Upgrade. The bad news is the adaptive system is beyond repair, and once the system 'sets' it will remain that way forever.What mode do we want to lock it into?

{GOVERNORNAME}, the governor of {PLANETNAME}, is displeased with our interference and is threatening to join the {FOREIGNINFLUENCER}.They claim we interfere with their world, and there should be more freedom to govern themselves.Our advisors claim that doing so will increase Crime on {PLANETNAME}.
Our security team made a deal for the precursor relic, then moved in to arrest the criminals. But someone had been tipped off. A remote trigger detonated the relic, killing our team immediately.Emboldened by this victory over us, the weapons market continues to flourish, as do many offshoots.

{GOVERNORNAME}, governor of {PLANETNAME}, is speaking openly about our incompetence. Our other leaders have already begun to take notice, and it is souring their opinion of us.Some of our more soft-hearted advisors suggest that this is a normal part of a complex society, while others recommend that we take firm action against the governor and the soft-hearted advisors.
A movement is growing on {PLANETNAME} of citizens who mistrust the growing use of cybernetics and synthetic life on our worlds. They call themselves the Natural League and they demand that organic life be given priority above other forms of life.How should we respond to this?

{GOVERNORNAME}, governor of {PLANETNAME}, is widely believed to be favoring personal friends at the expense of their world's citizens.Our advisors have investigated the accusations and determined that they are false, and {GOVERNORNAME} hasn't done anything wrong.Still, there is a loud public outcry for us to at least chastise the governor in some manner, or we will seem to be complicit in the supposed corruption.
Biologists sanctified by the Natural League have discovered an agent that will dramatically increase the reproduction rate on {PLANETNAME}. Because they feel that only greatly boosted organic birth rates will be enough to prevent synthetic life from overwhelming the galaxy, they intend to distribute this new agent widely. Perhaps even by force.What are your orders?

The Natural League on {PLANETNAME} has a strong following amongst our more impoverished citizens. They have done a lot of good work in these communities, even if it's clearly meant as an excuse to spread their rhetoric. But they've over-extended themselves, and if they're to be believed, are now close to bankruptcy. They've formally requested funds from our government to help.What are your orders?
{GOVERNORNAME}, governor of {PLANETNAME}, warns that their planet is under cultural assault by the {FOREIGNINFLUENCER}.{FOREIGNINFLUENCER} influence has begun to show up in local media, games and fashion, especially among younger citizens.{GOVERNORNAME} is requesting a grant to counter this threat.

The Natural League on {PLANETNAME} believes that they should now spread their message to the entire galaxy. To that end, they've constructed their own colony ship and are preparing their members for the voyage. We've been contacted by a few family members of Natural League members, who view it as a cult and claim the mission to almost certainly be suicide. They're begging us to stop the mission.What are your orders?
{GOVERNORNAME}, governor of {PLANETNAME}, has done a poor job of setting up a justice system on their planet.Instead of dealing with it locally, they are requesting our capital's lawmakers deal with the problem.It is disappointing that such measures are needed to deal with one governor's incompetence, but we have little choice if we don't want Crime to grow on {PLANETNAME}.

A new group of weapon enthusiasts on {PLANETNAME} are beginning to become a problem.What started as a normal interest in our military has devolved into imitation and even fetishization, the group decorating themselves with cast off equipment and military paraphernalia. This group believes that our empire will only survive if we adopt the mannerisms and traditions of the military, and now actively campaign on {PLANETNAME} for military expansion and even the start of military engagements.This movement, and the violence it's beginning to incite, worry our less radical citizens.What are your orders?
{GOVERNORNAME}, governor of {PLANETNAME}, is warning of a potential climate disaster on their planet. Deep fissures have begun to release immense amounts of heat and particles into the atmosphere.Without immediate action it could cause damage to {PLANETNAME}. But it would require significant resources to address.

At first these were just rumors, but those rumors have created fear.When questioned about it, {GOVERNORNAME} quietly denies any involvement, only offering that bad things happen to bad people.The only piece of evidence is {GOVERNORNAME}'s notebook, where many of those who ran into misfortune are listed and crossed off.
After securing and analyzing the Precursor Artifact, our scientists discover a new replication technology that will greatly increase the Manufacturing output on all of our worlds.

Rumors are spreading on {PLANETNAME} of a strange cult. There are numerous reports of people disappearing from hospitals, and evidence points to involvement by the planet's governor, {GOVERNORNAME}.Interrogating {GOVERNORNAME} uncovers the truth. A device was being used to cure the sick, at the cost of damage to {GOVERNORNAME}'s body. Painful scars are left by the device that impair movement and control.
Impossible though it might seem, we've found a breathable atmosphere inside this Precursor Artifact. The device used to maintain it must have lasted several millennia, and studying it should prove quite useful to our engineers.

{GOVERNORNAME} makes frequent requests of the government. Better housing, improved public education, free health care, and on and on.Today it is about clean water. This is not an issue for most of our citizens but {GOVERNORNAME} argues that millions of our most vulnerable lack access to safe water.Your advisors are tired of listening to the complaining and argue that the process will be both expensive and provide little tangible value to our civilization.
This Precursor Artifact seems to have once been used as a storehouse of sorts. In it, we've found a vast quantity of Elerium, already refined and ready to use.

It isn't unusual to get incessant requests from {GOVERNORNAME}, but this one is extreme.{GOVERNORNAME} argues that {PLAYERFACTION:1} citizens are suffering and receiving inadequate resources and medical attention.Your advisors are stunned by the suggestion that we would dedicate some of our rare resources to another civilization, and beg you to stop {GOVERNORNAME}'s madness.
Inside this Precursor Artifact is a massive Containment Field. When we peer inside, we can see it holding a vast quantity of perfectly good Antimatter, ready to be used, or perhaps 'shared' with our enemies.

{GOVERNORNAME}'s advocacy for the least of our citizens is well known. As is our support for these requests.Though the aide received little direct benefit, our citizens have not forgotten our kindness and throw a celebration in {GOVERNORNAME}'s honor.Some of them even remember our role in providing this help.
We can't determine the purpose of this Precursor Artifact, no matter how much we study it. The only thing we can determine for certain is that it's been functioning for thousands of years. But that alone tells us something, and in studying it we've discovered new techniques that will greatly assist our ability to maintain our own fleets.

{GOVERNORNAME}, the governor of {PLANETNAME}, has discovered a cache of Precursor technology. Unfortunately, rather than share it, they have used it to negotiate a high ranking position in the {FOREIGNINFLUENCER}.Because of his act of treason, we have lost {PLANETNAME} and this hidden cache.
This Precursor Artifact seems to have been a ship attachment of some sort, possibly part of a modularized setup. Its contents emit a previously unknown variety of Hyperdrive field, far more effective than anything we have. Our scientists think we should be able to adapt this new technique to increase the speed of all our ships.

Our ships find pirates attacking the ship of Boric the Quick. Our vessels swoop in, and the pirates quickly scatter.Boric decides that the galaxy has grown too dangerous for a single mercenary, and offers to join our armada. The catch: we have to rebuild his ship.

From crime to disease their rhetoric has begun to galvanize the anger on the world in a way that may be beneficial in the short term, but dangerous in diplomatic relations.It has now come to a crossroads where the {PLAYERFACTION:1} expects you to denounce the hate speech, but this is likely to turn the anger against us.
The small warship of the mercenary LL-88 is nearly destroyed. Pirates circle outside of weapons range like vultures. They quickly scatter when they see our ships approach.LL-88 thanks us, and suggests he will exchange his service if we rebuild his ship.

{GOVERNORNAME}, the governor of {PLANETNAME} is claiming that we have grown soft by a long period without war. They claim that our failure to move against weaker enemies undermines our future and ability to become a dominant power in the galaxy.
Many of the citizens of {PLANETNAME} live in homes that are little more than storage containers. Some of our advisors argue that this is fine, there's simply no need to spend that much on housing when there are other priorities around us. Privately, many of these also suggest such accommodations are entirely fitting, seeing as the people living there are among our society's least valuable.Others argue that not only is this cruel, it's counterproductive. These slums have become a breeding ground for crime and insurrection.What should we do?

Though few object to using the technology to save lives {GOVERNORNAME} found a precursor artifact they are planning to tie into their cybernetics and could potentially provide nearly perfect memory and reduce the need for sleep to a few minutes a day.
Long ago, this group of Iridium abandoned their empire to follow the religion of the Krynn, and began a slow journey through space on a multi-generational pilgrimage. Their ultimate goal is to discover a world with a divine altar they can worship at and a base from which they can spread their message.If we construct the altar they are looking for, they would be happy to relocate to our world. If not, they will continue on their journey.What should we do?

They have been infiltrating other governing bodies and using mind-controlled pawns to manipulate political decisions.{LEADERNAME} is deeply troubled by this revelation and wishes to help bring down the cult that almost destroyed their life.

A mysterious individual with access to confidential family documents has contacted {GOVERNORNAME}, offering to help them prove their rightful claim to the inheritance in exchange for certain political favors.Our advisors warn that this individual may have ulterior motives and that the information could be fabricated. They suggest that {GOVERNORNAME} should either pursue the inheritance with caution or let go of the bitterness and move on.
The Manti quickly settle onto our world. Though they still stare up into space and wonder about their missing generation, their new spawn helps ease their pain. And perhaps one day they will succeed where their parents couldn't.

A Torian terrorist named Ouda Owl is hiding on your homeworld. He compromised the seals on one of our warships which led to the death of hundreds of our citizens.You may either turn him over to us or we will assume that you support his cowardly and illegal attacks.
{LEADERNAME}, one of your trusted advisors, believes that the Precursors still walk among us in disguise. They have gathered evidence suggesting that some individuals within our civilization may actually be these ancient beings. This revelation has the potential to cause panic and unrest among the population.Our intelligence agency has analyzed the information and proposed two courses of action: we can either expose the alleged Precursors publicly or keep the information secret to avoid causing fear and chaos.

We discover the precursor archive exactly where the {PLAYERFACTION:1} said it would be.It is little more than rubble from consistent meteor storms. Little of value remains. But our search team is able to recover some resources which can be sold for a considerable profit and our scientists are able to put together some schematics from the archive's design.According to our agreement with the {PLAYERFACTION:1} we should split the resources with them and share the research we gained. But do we really want to do that?
{LEADERNAME}, a leader in your government, has a peculiar habit of assigning embarrassing pet names to their advisors. While some take it in stride, others are growing increasingly disgruntled. A group of advisors has approached you, asking for your intervention. They feel that the demeaning nicknames have gone too far and are affecting their professional reputation. Our analysts predict that addressing the issue could improve morale, but also potentially cause tension between you and {LEADERNAME}. On the other hand, doing nothing might lead to decreasing productivity among the unhappy advisors.

The origin of these threats remains unknown, leaving {LEADERNAME} in a constant state of unrest.Our intelligence services have identified two potential courses of action: trace the source of these threats and confront the perpetrator, or increase {LEADERNAME}'s security detail to ensure their safety. Both options have their own risks and rewards.
We found the {PLAYERFACTION:1} wreckage among the anomalies as well as a data capsule. It may be a recording of that attack or valuable information.The survey team is prepared to attempt to recover the information from the capsule.

They claim that it is an affront to their culture and a desecration of their ancestor's memory. They are threatening to turn other civilizations against you if their demands are not met.Your advisors are split on the matter. Some believe that returning the skull would show respect for other cultures and promote diplomatic relations. Others argue that it would be a sign of weakness and would embolden your enemies.

{LEADERNAME} is infamous for their tight-fistedness when it comes to finances. Their underlings have been suffering from low wages, outdated equipment, and poor working conditions for years. Recently, a group of them has united and sent a formal complaint to the higher-ups, demanding better treatment and resources.We must decide how to handle this situation - should we force {LEADERNAME} to allocate more funds to their department or find another way to appease the disgruntled employees?

While {LEADERNAME} believes in the importance of due process, they also recognize the need for swift action to maintain public trust.Our advisors propose two courses of action: Allow the legal system to run its course, potentially allowing the accused to evade punishment, or intervene and force a resolution, which could compromise the integrity of our judicial system.

{LEADERNAME}, one of your most experienced advisors, is famous for surviving a crash landing on a hostile alien planet and living in the wilderness for years. They have been contacted by a group of settlers facing a similar situation, and they seek guidance on how to survive in such a dangerous environment.{LEADERNAME} is willing to help the settlers, but doing so would mean taking time away from their current responsibilities. Meanwhile, others argue that the settlers should fend for themselves and learn from their own experiences, as {LEADERNAME} did.
We've identified at least one planet we've colonized large enough to warrant a Governor. A Governor turns any simple colony into a Core World, allowing us to build a Shipyard and Planetary Improvements to increase the Planet's Output.A Leader can be appointed as Governor of any colonized planet with a Planet Class of 10 or greater. The colonized planet will become a Core World, which can be improved and expanded on to improve its contributions to the civilization greatly.A Leader's traits and stats can have drastic effects on the world they're assigned and its citizens. Some care should be taken in what Leader is appointed as Governor.Appoint a Governor to a planet either by selecting the planet and hitting the  Planet Management button or through the  Leaders Menu.

{LEADERNAME}, a key member of your government, lost their family in a devastating interstellar war and has since vowed to prevent such conflicts from happening again.Recently, tensions have been rising between the Drengin Empire and the Torian Confederation. Both factions have reached out to your government for support. {LEADERNAME} believes that acting as a mediator between the two factions could be a crucial step towards maintaining peace.However, some of your advisors argue that taking a neutral stance could be seen as a sign of weakness, and it may be better to choose a side to secure a powerful ally.
A Governor has been assigned, establishing new Core World. Now, the colony can be expanded with improvements, new citizens generated, and we can even build a Shipyard.

Probably not coincidentally, a voice soon after echoed in the heads of all members of the search party.The voice identified itself as {PLANETNAME} and explained that it abducted the colonists to learn how to communicate with us. The voice expresses something approaching remorse for their deaths, but is pleased to note it has now learned how to communicate without causing our fragile minds to explode.Shortly after it mentions that it is not happy with the amount of toxic pollution we've generated.

High pollution on {PLANETNAME} has led to mutations of both our livestock and wild animals. Somewhat humorously, a local turtle was discovered with its tail and head reversed. Somewhat less humorously, the locals have begun calling it the Governor Turtle.If we aren't careful, these mutations could continue to spread, possibly amongst our people.

Though it was portrayed as a conference between church leaders, what happened behind closed doors was far from peaceful. At one point Divine Rosalind threatened to walk out. At another, the local church leaders attempted to extort our own government.But in the end, the Way (and our leadership) prevailed. Divine Rosalind wrestled a greater degree of control over the local church leaders, and in return performed a ritual sanctifying most of them, committing them to the church's service.A small group of the most corrupt church leaders refused to submit to Divine Rosalind's authority, but their complaints were largely ignored.

Divine Rosalind is dead. Her body was found laying in front of the altar of the Krynniac Sanctuary, her face brutally cut off.The church falls into chaos before we can respond. For days, grief grips our people, the stars themselves seeming to weep. And though many pray to the flickering stars and nebula for answers, none are given.If we are to solve this mystery we will need to do it ourselves.

A massive explosion has recently ripped through a protest against the government on {PLANETNAME}. Although casualties are minimal, the media is filled with wild speculation suggesting we did this to discourage protesters.Others claim it's the work of religious extremists, or even the protesters themselves. Local officials claim that rioting protesters lit some buildings on fire in an area used for fuel storage.What should we do?

A modest deregulation of our labor laws has produced some interesting results.

Indenture, basically. However, some have raised concerns that these contracts may not be as voluntary as they appear to be, and in any event still represent a form of ownership of an individual person.Many of our citizens are calling on us to enact the Corporate Regulations policy to put stronger limits on this practice.

There were two separate self-detonation devices attached to the environmental shield. The first was obvious and would have destroyed the shield and anything within thousands of kilometers of it. The second was just for the shield itself and would have fried it badly enough so that it couldn't fall into anyone elses hands.Our engineers catch and disable both of them.

Amongst the debris lies the remains of a Precursor ship. Most of the systems are too ruined to salvage, but an adaptive defense system is still online and operational. It's a remarkable bit of technology, capable of recalibrating its field emitters to defend against whatever incoming weapons systems it detects. Even better it provides enough defensive cover to protect an entire fleet.The good news is that our engineers can use it as a Ship Upgrade. The bad news is the adaptive system is beyond repair, and once the system 'sets' it will remain that way forever.What mode do we want to lock it into?

Its contents emit a previously unknown variety of Hyperdrive field, far more effective than anything we have. Our scientists think we should be able to adapt this new technique to increase the speed of all our ships.

Privately, many of these also suggest such accommodations are entirely fitting, seeing as the people living there are among our society's least valuable.Others argue that not only is this cruel, it's counterproductive.

We discover the precursor archive exactly where the {PLAYERFACTION:1} said it would be.It is little more than rubble from consistent meteor storms. Little of value remains. But our search team is able to recover some resources which can be sold for a considerable profit and our scientists are able to put together some schematics from the archive's design.According to our agreement with the {PLAYERFACTION:1} we should split the resources with them and share the research we gained.

Broken Teleporter Artifact

Broken Teleporter Artifact

Our exploration has led us to an artifact of Precursor origin, a device once capable of bending the fabric of spacetime to instantly relocate their vessels to chosen coordinates. Regrettably, the ravages of time have not been kind. The artifact's pinpoint precision has faded into erratic uncertainty - our researchers warn that activation will now result in a random spatial displacement. Nevertheless, this unpredictable characteristic could be tactically advantageous, providing us a means to displace unwelcome fleets into the vast, unknown reaches of space.

Choice Outcome
Take the artifact.

Artifact goes to the vault.

Attempt to deconstruct the artifact into its original components.

The valuable elements that make up the artifact will provide us with some instant credits.

  • +100 Credits

The Elusive Beast in a Cage

Smuggler's Hideout Treasure

Smuggler's Hideout Treasure

Our flagship has stumbled upon an abandoned smuggler's hideout, brimming with a treasure trove of riches. The smuggler is nowhere to be seen. We now face a moral dilemma: should we seize this unexpected bounty or respect the unwritten rules of ownership?

Choice Outcome
Claim the Treasure

Taking the treasure could significantly boost our resources, providing a much-needed advantage. However, this action might attract unwanted attention and could tarnish our reputation among other factions.

  • +500 Credits
  • Anger Pirates
Leave the Treasure Untouched

Respecting the principle of ownership, we choose to leave the treasure untouched. This may uphold our moral and ethical standards, but we miss out on a potentially significant opportunity to enhance our resources.

Smuggler's Revenge

Smuggler's Revenge

The smuggler, whose treasure we previously encountered, has returned to seek revenge. Enraged by our actions, they have launched a surprise attack against us with a fleet os ships in our territory. We must prepare to face the consequences of our earlier decision.

Choice Outcome
Defend Against the Attack

It's time to face the smuggler's wrath. We must deploy our defenses and repel their attack. This encounter serves as a harsh reminder that our actions, even in the depths of space, can have unexpected and dangerous repercussions.

New Shield Technology Discovered

New Shield Technology Discovered

Our flagship has recovered the schematics of a groundbreaking shield technology. This new component, when equipped, promises to add an additional layer of shields to every ship in our fleet, capable of absorbing the first hit from any attack.Of course, it begs the question, who made this?

Choice Outcome
We will keep this ship component in mind for future ship designs.

Implementing this technology will provide our fleet with a significant defensive advantage. While it may not withstand sustained assaults, this additional shielding could be the difference in surviving initial enemy strikes, giving us a critical edge in battle.It will be available in the ship designer.

Encounter with the Sleeper Ship

Encounter with the Sleeper Ship

Our flagship has encountered a mysterious sleeper ship drifting through space. Its chambers are filled with alien passengers in cryogenic slumber, on a course set for the deep core of the galaxy. The origin and purpose of their journey remain unknown.

Choice Outcome
Allow the Ship to Continue Its Journey

Respecting the sleeper ship's voyage, we choose to let it continue on its path to the galaxy's core. This decision upholds the sanctity of their mission, whatever it may be, but leaves us with unanswered questions about their origins and destination.

Terminate the Passengers and Salvage the Ship

Choosing to terminate the alien passengers for the sake of salvaging any advanced technology on the sleeper ship is a drastic and morally questionable decision. While it may yield technological gains, it comes with the heavy burden of ending countless alien lives.

  • +30 Research Amount
  • Murdered Sleepers
Awaken the Passengers and Initiate Contact

Waking up the alien passengers to initiate contact could provide valuable insights into their culture and technology. However, this decision carries risks, as their reaction to being awakened prematurely and confronted by an unknown species is unpredictable. You gain a colony ship

High-G Animal Racing

High-G Animal Racing

Colonists on {PLANETNAME} have taken to breeding and racing a local species of squat, four-legged animals. The harsh gravity of the world makes the races particularly gruelling, and footage of injured animals has caused animal rights activists around the galaxy to demand this barbaric practice be stopped. But it's become a big part of the local culture, and the colonists won't be happy if we end the races. What are your orders?

Alien Cultural Trash

Alien Cultural Trash

{PLANETNAME} was once the home of an alien civilization which disappeared a thousand years earlier. Although none of their technology is new, many of their entertainment products remain intact, and are of great interest to the colonists. Unfortunately almost all of these shows and programs are incredibly childish and puerile, featuring an unfortunate amount of jokes about orifices. The colony's workplaces are now filled with practical jokes that sap productivity. What are your orders?

Aggressive Natives

Aggressive Natives

An aggressive species of sentient quadrupeds live in the forests and hills of {PLANETNAME}. They've resisted all attempts to communicate with them, and have relentlessly attacked your colony since you arrived. Although no actual threat to you militarily, they can harass and easily slaughter unguarded civilians. As is so often the case when the risk of slaughter is non-zero, morale amongst the colonists is low. What are your orders?

This appears to be a scrapyard for damaged and useless ship parts, assembled by aliens long gone, and picked over many times since. But just as we were about to give up hope of finding anything, a scanner picks up an unusual energy reading.It is the power core for the damaged ship we found. There's little indication of who put it here among this junk, or why. They clearly didn't know what they had.

Choice Outcome
Excellent work.

The Retribution

A gravitational eddy has slowly collected scrap from nearly a half lightyear around this spot. Most of it is asteroid fragments.

Upgraded Kinetic

This debris field marks a former mine field, perhaps a neutral zone between two long forgotten galactic empires. The mines are of a curious design, bristling with high velocity cannons capable of perforating all but the thickest armor.Although most of the mines are non-operational and of little practical use, one is still active. The crew want to scavenge the demolitions to upgrade the ship's weapons.Our scientists claim that's short sighted, which they would, and beg us release the technology for them to study. If we give them time to study the mine they claim they can upgrade all of our Kinetic weapons.What are your orders?

We've stumbled upon something strange here, an alien artifact which appears to be a beam weapon of incredible power. In a ring around it lie several beacons explaining, in a variety of languages, the agony that this weapon will inflict on all who face it. It's pretty dark. Worse yet, the beacons promise that any who fire it - and their kind - will suffer immense guilt knowing what they've done.It sounds like if we use this, we're going to make a lot of people unhappy back home.

Making New Friends

The strange readings we've detected in this area appear to be the residual effect of a dimensional rift, one capable of drawing ships through from other universes. As if to prove our theory, a strange golden ship wobbles out of it and hails us.After a brief, somewhat unpleasant conversation, it becomes clear these creatures are called Tywom, and they are fleeing some horror in their own realm. They would like very much our protection and, no, that's wrong. Not protection. Friendship.

We've found a civilian ship, one not markedly different from any of the other civilian vessels that litter the galaxy. Though few are as off course as this one.The aliens are poorly equipped and, if they are to survive the journey, will be unlikely to make it home safely.After calming the confused wails of the aliens inside, it becomes clear they were seeking to travel to the {PLAYERFACTION:1} to partake in a festival there.

Dwindling Numbers

We've followed a distress signal to the area, where we've found a strange, patched together vessel, similar to what pirates use.The aliens inside are a motley variety of species, who claim kinship thanks to a parasitic organism they all have. This organism renders them sterile, and requires the injection of new biological lifeforms at regular intervals to sustain what it calls a culture.The aliens insist that if we deliver a small portion of our crew to them they'll let us go. Or they'll capture us and take us all.

Probably not coincidentally, a voice soon after echoed in the heads of all members of the search party.The voice identified itself as {PLANETNAME} and explained that it abducted the colonists to learn how to communicate with us. The voice expresses something approaching remorse for their deaths, but is pleased to note it has now learned how to communicate without causing our fragile minds to explode.Shortly after it mentions that it is not happy with the amount of toxic pollution we've generated.

Years have passed since the construction of the Krynniac Sanctuary. Our worlds have grown and the Way has integrated itself into nearly every aspect of our culture. It is a philosophy which promotes equality and fairness, benefiting our trade, while its missions push our cultural values out to distant stars.But, Divine Rosalind warns that the church has grown beyond her control. Local churches regularly intercede in local affairs, often demanding large tithes from parishioners when doing so. Those that don't submit to local church precepts face terrifying, often violent backlashes from the church's followers.

Though it was portrayed as a conference between church leaders, what happened behind closed doors was far from peaceful. At one point Divine Rosalind threatened to walk out. At another, the local church leaders attempted to extort our own government.But in the end, the Way (and our leadership) prevailed. Divine Rosalind wrestled a greater degree of control over the local church leaders, and in return performed a ritual sanctifying most of them, committing them to the church's service.A small group of the most corrupt church leaders refused to submit to Divine Rosalind's authority, but their complaints were largely ignored.

Divine Rosalind is dead. Her body was found laying in front of the altar of the Krynniac Sanctuary, her face brutally cut off.The church falls into chaos before we can respond.

A massive explosion has recently ripped through a protest against the government on {PLANETNAME}.

Religious Pilgrims

Religious Pilgrims

Years after the death of Divine Rosalind, the message of the Way continues to spread, even finding followers among alien civilizations. A group of {PLAYERFACTION:1} worshippers has formed a small church and wish to make a pilgrimage to our empire.This would represent a profitable business for us, but the {PLAYERFACTION:1} do not approve of these worshippers, and indeed fear that our religion is undermining their internal control over their empire. However, our diplomats advise that they may be open to allowing travel of this nature if we first find some way of increasing trade.

However, some have raised concerns that these contracts may not be as voluntary as they appear to be, and in any event still represent a form of ownership of an individual person.Many of our citizens are calling on us to enact the Corporate Regulations policy to put stronger limits on this practice.

Our captain invites the Snathi aboard for dinner and drinks. But the drinks don't make the scrap dealer more pliable, only aggressive.Drinks can do that sometimes.Before the night is done he has offended three of our crew and left a stench in one of the ship's toilets witnesses describe as a mix between 'rotting corpse' and 'nutmeg.' No deal is made for the drones, and it isn't until after he leaves that we notice that a few bottles of Arnor rum have gone missing.

Pirate Scrap

Pirate Scrap

Scans indicate this is the remains of a pirate warship, cobbled together from parts stolen from various species into something barely spaceworthy. Well. Not any more.The only unique technology is an Environmental Shield that allowed the pirates to travel freely in nebulas. It seems they knew what they had, however, and it is set to detonate if it is tampered with. But if we did risk recovering it, we could use it as a Ship Upgrade.What are your orders?

Choice Outcome

There were two separate self-detonation devices attached to the environmental shield. The first was obvious and would have destroyed the shield and anything within thousands of kilometers of it. The second was just for the shield itself and would have fried it badly enough so that it couldn't fall into anyone elses hands.Our engineers catch and disable both of them.

Defensive System

Defensive System

Amongst the debris lies the remains of a Precursor ship. Most of the systems are too ruined to salvage, but an adaptive defense system is still online and operational. It's a remarkable bit of technology, capable of recalibrating its field emitters to defend against whatever incoming weapons systems it detects. Even better it provides enough defensive cover to protect an entire fleet.The good news is that our engineers can use it as a Ship Upgrade. The bad news is the adaptive system is beyond repair, and once the system 'sets' it will remain that way forever.What mode do we want to lock it into?

Appoint a Governor

Appoint a Governor

We've identified at least one planet we've colonized large enough to warrant a Governor. A Governor turns any simple colony into a Core World, allowing us to build a Shipyard and Planetary Improvements to increase the Planet's Output.A Leader can be appointed as Governor of any colonized planet with a Planet Class of 10 or greater. The colonized planet will become a Core World, which can be improved and expanded on to improve its contributions to the civilization greatly.A Leader's traits and stats can have drastic effects on the world they're assigned and its citizens. Some care should be taken in what Leader is appointed as Governor.Appoint a Governor to a planet either by selecting the planet and hitting the Planet Management button or through the Leaders Menu.
