You're sitting quietly enjoying your own company when a man-mountain approaches. He slides into a chair.
"So," he says, "You must be [Player Name]. Rumor has it that you're battle-handy, not up to my caliber, but you might be the pilot I'm looking for."
"And why would you be looking for me?" you reply with a wry smile.
"My House needs a blockade runner," he explains directly, and you immediately assume that he is an Auroran warrior, which arouses your caution. "It is too soon to bring the military might of the House to bear, so I'm asking if you will run cargo to the port of Dominance in the Heraan Cov system. Interested...?"

You're sitting quietly enjoying your own company when the man-mountain who accused you of being spineless all those months ago arrives. He slides into a chair opposite you.
"So," he says, "Have you discovered your courage?"
"And why would you still be looking for me?" you reply, a little nervously.
"My House remains under a blockade. Unfortunately, inter-house politics makes it impossible to bring the military might of the House to bear, so I'm asking if you will run cargo to the port of Dominance in the Heraan Cov system. Interested...?"

Bariod, as the dockmaster introduces himself, asks if you can keep a secret.
"Why am I worthy of such trust?" you ask.
"Only a pilot of skill and honor would transport weapons enough to outfit a small system and not think about stealing them." (You don't have the heart to tell him that you had no idea what you were carrying.) "So, will you please deliver these sealed orders to Bazara, my brother? He's the man from whom you have been receiving your shipments. He's currently on Skye in the Murasaki system. However, he will not be there for long, so you must hurry. Will you carry them for me?"

As you sit sipping your drink you see Techerakh with another Auroran warrior enter the bar and make his way over to you. He introduces the man as Bariod, the dockmaster for the Dominance station.
"Archindar says that you are a pilot of skill and honor," he compliments you straightforwardly. "So, will you please deliver these sealed orders to Bazara, my brother.

You have barely walked into the bar when all conversation around you ceases. A man walks towards you, the weight of ages upon his withered shoulders.
He looks you up and down, and smiles broadly. "So, you must be [Player Name], the pilot who so greatly impressed my two Kachi. You must be good, very good, for they are not easy to impress. I understand that you wish to serve House Heraan. Are you willing to face the trials required to enter it?"

Midday. Awakening from too much ale, with heavy head but light heart, you bid your new-found friends adieu, and go for a brief jaunt to freshen up before your journey.
Along the promenades and balconies of the enormous Heraan family arcology, you feel a strange sense of destiny. Here are people {b800"at least as""far more"} decent and honorable than those you have left behind. Yet...
With only a little trepidation you continue on your way to your ship to begin your journey to Gungungun.

You are enjoying the feeling of Esprit de Corps that comes from being with the warriors in the bar. Kuron comes in and pulls you aside.
"I am afraid I am going to have to send you on a mission right away, rather than allowing you time to recover from your training and kill off a few more brain cells. Tactically, you are the best candidate for this mission. It involves much travel and a face unknown to our enemies. I am going to use you while you are fresh, to confound our enemies in their plans to hinder us."
Outside the bar, Kuron pulls you towards the dock. "Bazara has disappeared. His last report said that the Federation was onto him, and that his effectiveness as a spy may well be gone. He told us that if he didn't send a report by today, we were to consider him compromised and send someone to rescue him."

As you sit sipping your drink, your ears prick up when a couple of Federation soldiers sit at a table near you.
"I hate this spy crap," one mutters, "why can't these bloody Aurorans just come out in the open and fight like real men?"
"Oh, come off it," laughs the other as your blood begins to burn, "it's not like our side doesn't try to do the same. Come on, Syracuse isn't that bad, just a bit polluted. Chances are that there is no spy up there, even if there was, he'll probably be gone by the time we get there, and we'll just patrol around for a few weeks looking for him and have a holiday from the front. The girls up there aren't half bad looking either."
As both of them grin and get down to some serious drinking, your thoughts turn to your mission. So far, this is the only lead you have that might be related to Bazara. It might be a wild goose chase, but you decide to check it out nonetheless and head over to Syracuse in the Galvan system.

You feel rather foolish standing at the bar in nothing but a {G"loincloth" "loincloth, worried that your uncovered chest will draw the wrong type of attention"}. The attention you attract, however, is polite respect and not the {G"ridicule" "licentiousness"} you expected. In the distance you see Kuron approaching. Fully clothed? Only when he gets closer do you realize most of his skin is covered in tattoos. Only now do you realize the significance of near-nakedness to an Auroran. The tattoos display a warrior's career. The more tattoos, the more honored the warrior.
You look down at your pitifully small collection, and understand why Kuron continually tattooed your kills on your arm. As you look at them, each one springs freshly to mind.

You are sitting in the bar observing the Moashi dogs, disguised as a humble worker, dirty from the days toils, listening in the hope that one of them will let slip something about the traitor.
"I strongly suggest you get out of our seat, {G"'friend'" "'miss'"}," hisses the leader of a small group of what you guess passes for warriors amongst the Moash, and, in keeping with your disguise, you slide off their seat, keeping your eyes down.
"Just like that scum that Am'Rosso sent those guys to meet," sneers the leader, and the others laugh and your ears pick up as Am'Rosso is the name of the Moash Thurokiir. "Apparently the Heraani weakling didn't want to be seen anywhere in Auroran space so he sent a message saying to meet him somewhere in Federation space. But then I suppose that it is fitting that it will be cowardice that will finally be the downfall of their supposed 'House'."
As you digest this information, you let your rage slowly dissipate away. You remind yourself that the yapping of dogs is meaningless, and no true warrior would react to it.
You slowly finish your drink and start making your way back to the spaceport to start searching through the Federation.

As you sit sipping your drink a crusty old spacer sits next to you with his drink.
"You're one of those Auroran warriors, aren't you?' he asks rhetorically, not even waiting for an answer. "Don't see too many of your kind outside of your ships up here in the Federation. You would want to watch yourself, or the Bureau will drag you in to have a word to you.
"Mind you," he continues rambling on, "the last one of you guys I mentioned that to didn't pay too much attention, but then he the last time I saw him, he was headed towards New England, and everybody knows that only the old retirees from the military or the Bureau live there, so maybe he knew someone who still had a little clout."
You listen quietly as a he rambles on, and you even buy him another drink. He tells you his life story, which bores you no end, but that first snippet of information was worth every long minute you spend in his company.
Finally you manage to disengage yourself politely and head off toward your ship, finally with a specific destination in mind.

You are summoned before the Council by a messenger. He stops you fetching your loincloth with a laugh.
"That is only worn on formal occasions. The clothes you have on will suffice for now."
In an annex of the great hall, Kuron indicates for you to sit at the table with Bazara, Nuada Skullsplitter, the head of the Family, and his adviser Tuatha Widowmaker. The Thurokiir, Techerakh the Bloody Hammer, imposes over the gathering. His tattoos are so closely packed that it is all but impossible to see his actual flesh color.
Kuron talks of the corruption and complacency of the Moash, leading the Auroran people down a dark path of little hope. He speaks of the ascendancy of the House of Heraan, and the work to topple the House Moash.
"It is our belief," he intones seriously, "that we only need to find their weaknesses in order to crush them utterly."
"Little Wolf," he says. "You will not be a typical Auroran warrior. You will be an integral part of House Heraan's war machine: a spy, a phantom of retribution, a thorn in the flesh of the Federation, a turner of tides. Yours will be a lonely path, and a dangerous one. I saw the potential in you, as did Karlaekaar. Your skill is great. If you fulfil your potential, you'll be a major worry for our enemies."

Techerakh spies you sitting chatting to a few other warriors as soon as he walks in to the bar. He ushers you to a quiet corner.
"Swift action is required. Things are afoot here that even our combined minds could not have foreseen. The Dani have begun to sniff about the borders of Heraani space like the dogs that they are. It is necessary that they do not cause too much havoc. Our warriors are still smarting from the Moashi blockade. 'Twould also be politic at the moment if the other Houses knew little about the strengths or weaknesses of House Heraan. The Dani must withdraw without forcing our lads into a swirling battle across a multitude of systems. No doubt the Moashi have put them up to it from behind the scenes. Cunning curs, the Moashi, avoiding suspicion by bullying us by proxy."
"So! You will lead a raiding force into Dani space. I suggest hitting the Dani Himear system, as my intelligence tells me that they have an elite formation of warships patrolling there while their normal fleets are out harassing us. If you spot them, destroy them. But be warned. By the time you start to jump back to Heraani space, the Dani war fleets posturing on our borders will have turned around, heading for home. You'll have to come back through that way." Techerakh grins at you. You get the impression that if you were forced to give the Dani a bloody nose on your way home, Techerakh wouldn't mind...

Techerakh waves to you as soon as you enter. You get the feeling that he is well in his cups, but his mood is extremely jovial. As you sit down, Karrod proffers you a large stein. You take a long pull, and gasp, eyes watering, as the strength of the booze hits you. Techerakh and Karrod laugh so hard that they almost fall from their chairs.
Once they have calmed down (and you work out that you can see straight if you squint your right eye) Techerakh explains why you are feeling the effects more than normal.
"A great warrior I know introduced me to this drink. It's called an Irish Boilermaker. A fine fellow that Archindar..." Techerakh drifts into his memories for a moment, then continues. "...anyway, we are celebrating your latest honor."
"And what honor ish that?" you slur at Techerakh, much to Karrod's amusement.
"You are being sponsored to serve with the Rimertans, my young {G"hero" "heroine"}," Techerakh chuckles. "Only the greatest of warriors are allowed to do this, as it requires the sponsorship of the Thurokiir of a House. The Rimertans can always turn down the deal of course, but they have always accepted warriors from House Heraan." You are about to ask more about your upcoming assignment when Kuron and Bazara enter the bar. The night seems to blur away...

When you enter you see Hune and Lo Wang sitting at a table near the door.
"The Dechtakars have heard of raids by houseless warriors on the frontier settlement of [Travel Stellar] in the [Travel System] system," Lo Wang informs you quietly after you sit down. "The Auroran settlers have discovered a valuable deposit of palladium, but these honorless thieves have been plundering their shipments as they leave the planet. You and Hune are charged with sorting out the culprits."
Hune looks at you strangely, "Do you accept?"

Upon landing you are met by Lo Wang, who informs you that a Moashi dignitary named Duradar will soon be visiting his great nephew on [Return Stellar] in the [Return System] system. His rank is sufficiently high to require an escort to the strife-ridden border settlement. This time you will be sent without Hune to escort him from here to [Return Stellar].
You struggle with your rage at being used in such a lowly manner, but after a moment you calm yourself and begin to realize that you are being tested, and that Lo Wang is waiting for your answer. What will it be?

You are heading to the bar for a bit of a break when you feel a buzzing in your message comp. You head to the side of the walkway, stepping out of the throng of people walking back and forth, and quickly patch the message through. A hologram of Techerakh springs from the tiny projector, and Techerakh quickly tells you that the Council has need of your presence immediately. You rush to the Great Hall.
As soon as you enter, you are rushed into the main tactics room. Warriors stand around the walls, guarding the important House figures within. Techerakh glances up from a map of the nearby systems, and waves you over. "I have a mission for you," he says. "Do you feel like going for a run out to [Return Stellar]?"

You are sauntering towards the main bar, when a Moash warrior steps from the shadows. He scrutinizes you before asking if you had any news of Thurmbiir Flaming Wings. This is an older code for Heraan contacts, and at first you balk. After a few uncertain moments, you reply that Thurmbiir is well. He smiles. As he reaches out a hand in friendship, you sense all is not right. You disable him and drag him into a nearby alleyway.
A short time later you have all the information that you need. The Heraan spy has been discovered, and is currently being held under house arrest, awaiting a Moash Interrogation Squad.
At the house, you cruise past the two guards. As soon as their eyes leave you, you spin, and with one blast end both their lives. Using one of the guards' fingers to open the door, you dive through, cutting short the military careers of another two men before finding the spy. The man is in bad shape, but he is Heraan. He will live. You cut his bonds and hoist him over your shoulder. As you bolt to your ship, klaxons and alarms are sounding, and you know that you are going to face some determined enemies as you leave. Leaping to the controls, you simply hit the bricks, praying that you will break out and get back on your way to Heraan before too many get on your tail...

You have been waiting for Techerakh for hours, and are about to give up. Techerakh bursts through the door with a wild look in his eye.
"Little Wolf," he is almost beside himself with excitement "We have the Moash now. Our spy on Moash uncovered a conspiracy. The Moash were going to allow Federation Fleets safe passage across the Auroran border to attack the Tekel and Dani Houses. This is HUGE. It would be enough to turn the Dani and Tekel Houses against the Moash, but coming from us, neither House would believe it. So it falls to us to stop the threat.
"The plan called for the Moash Fleets to send coded messages to the Federation Fleets, who would then jump into Auroran space without a shot being fired. The Council proposes to send two battle fleets, one each to head to the Dani and Tekel rendezvous points, destroy the listening posts there, and quickly erect new ones, feeding signals back to the Moash on Aurora that all is well.
"Of course, the Moash fleets will be nothing but an expanding debris field, and we will be waiting for the Federation. The Federation will be vulnerable, and not expecting attack. We will clean their clocks. Unfortunately, for this to happen, I need you to go and steal something from the Federation. Are you keen?"

Techerakh hands you another drink, and you take a long swig. "I want this one to be your last, Wolf," he waves at the drink in your hand "Since I have an honor to bestow upon you."
"Tomorrow our fleets will head out in secret to attack the Moash. Ordinarily, I would lead one fleet and Kuron the other. Since so much has gone into the preparation for this attack, and the opportunity is so great to deal a mortal blow to the Federation, Kuron wants to keep an eye on both fleets. Subsequently, we are one commander short. Or we were, up until I gave you command of the other fleet."
You feel your mouth fall open, and Techerakh grins at you. "I had a feeling about you when we first met, and I'm glad to know I was right. I want you to lead the second fleet, and take her to [Return Stellar] in the [Return System] system to wipe out the Moash there. Once you do, the Engineers will jump in and start sending back the false signals. Sounds easy, do you want to go?"

On returning to Heraan you are met with much rejoicing by your friends. It has been a long time between drinks! Techerakh tells you that he has need to speak to you tomorrow about the future direction of House Heraan, and that you are to play an important role in it, both behind the scenes and in the spotlight.
It is with a monstrous hangover that you make your way to Techerakh's quarters the next morning. You arrive to see him stripped to the waist, engaging a number of holographic opponents. Sweat shines on his bare body, making the images of death and destruction that adorn him writhe and take life. You politely wait for him to finish, and when he does so he sits down beside you and begins your briefing.

The mood in the bar is one of quiet waiting. The Council has been planning a new battle group, and most predict that you will be leading them. Many warriors have challenged you of late, from wrestles to simulated combat in ships varying from fighter size to capital ships. You are exhausted most of the time, but you know why they are doing it; they wish to impress you with their prowess, trying to become part of the legend that is rising around you. Those who challenge you are paying you a great honor.
Most of the available warriors in the House have been recalled to Heraan, and the bars are all full of restless, loincloth-clad bodies, and the air is heady with the scent of tattoo ink. With anticipation you head for the Great Hall. A crowd gathers behind you, many of those present having duelled with you in the past few weeks. By the time you meet Bazara, the crowd has swelled further.
"Well," he glances behind you. "I see you must have on a new {G"aftershave" "perfume"}!"
Karrod steps from inside Bazara's quarters and continues, "Hmmm," he sniffs you loudly. "Smells like success to me."
You glower at the two of them as they laugh long and hard, but realize that there isn't much point. Bazara and Karrod are like most warriors. They take little seriously, unless it is war or death. The three of you head for the hall. Karrod tells you that after the Council meeting he wants you to meet his son, Jesura, just back from the Federation front. Karrod has spoken highly of him in the past, as have Techerakh and Bazara, and you are keen to meet him. You bring your focus back to the present as you enter the familiar dimness of the Hall.
The sounds of conversation dies away as Kuron steps into the firelight. He strikes the flagstones with his staff and begins.
"Fellow warriors, you have been called here to endorse a new battle group. Like the Auroran warriors of old, it will travel the universe battling with prowess and skill. There will be a reckoning in the land as House Heraan walks the warrior's 'Path of Strength'. It is the contention of the council that the Moash House has been First Family too long, and that House Heraan must take over that position if we Aurorans are to prosper."
The roar for the assembly deafens, and you roar with the others. As the cheering dies down, Kuron continues.
"This new battle group will be working directly with me and with Techerakh the Bloody Hammer. The Mundokiir and Thurokiir will guide them and use them to bring about the destruction of the Moash House."
Again more cheering, which forces Kuron to wait. It is during these few moments that Kuron makes eye contact with you, and you know for sure that you are to lead this new group. Your heart hammers in your chest.
"The new group will be known as 'The Pack' and their leader will be the mighty KarHallarn.

Techerakh and Kuron allow you very little time to rest before sending you and your team on another mission.
Kuron grins. "The Pirates are being torn by internal strife, and the old balance of power among them has begun to shift. We must know what is going on up in the galactic north. My spies report there is a new player on the patch. I'm sending you to meet with him, and Bazara to meet with his immediate enemy, the notorious McGowan.
"It is important that you get a feel for this fellow called Eiric," he continues earnestly. "McGowan we can deal with because we know that he has very little honor and wants only for riches and power. His kind are easy to anticipate. This Eiric may be a different man altogether. Techerakh would be going himself but he has headed off on important business, so Nuada has requested that you go in his stead.
"I don't have to tell you how important this mission is," Kuron finishes off-handedly, "so don't muff it or I'll kick your backside till it's blue. Your pack won't be going with you, as they will be going on missions of their own. The game is afoot my friend, and soon it will be time to play for the entire box and dice."

Kuron meets you all just inside the entrance of the hall. He looks both weary and strangely joyous. He meets your looks of pain and despair with a wry smile.
"Why all the long faces? Did he die a coward?" The shock of what Kuron says stops you in your tracks.
"I guess you don't yet know how, so I'll tell you and let you all decide for yourselves. The Moashi Fleet you all rushed to stop was only sent for him. And the fool knew it. So what does he do? He speeds to meet them. He gave an excellent account of himself, making a mockery of the Moashi's best. By the time he fell, the Moashi had lost 20 fighters, a cruiser and a carrier. All this he did, even while facing their Mundokiir. Yes my brothers, the Moashi sent the "Eye of Fury" to claim him. So tell me this, who has found peace in the Hall of Heroes, and who still have the lion's work cut out for them."
Kuron smiles sadly.
"Yes, I'll miss that man a great deal, and unfortunately all of our plans must wait until we find a new Thurokiir. That is why I waited for you all to return."

Despite the night before, you are unable to rest, and a bleakness has settled on your spirit. For so long, Techerakh had been a rock to which you were able to anchor yourself. So did the whole House, you realize with a frown. Leaving {G"Savard" "Jesura"} asleep, you stalk silently from the room, heading towards Techerakh's quarters to go through his personal effects.
Kuron had told you of the tradition, but you dread the task. You feel as if it will place Techerakh forever beyond your reach, but you feel that is why the new Thurokiir must do so, so that they may fully carry the mantle of responsibility.
You enter the dim confines of Techerakh's unit, and are surprised to see a holo-projector with a note to you attached to it. You pick it up and initiate its sequencer...and suddenly Techerakh comes to life before your eyes.
"Hello {G"me boyo" "lass"}," he smiles at you, and you feel the tears leap unbidden to your eyes.
"Well, I guess I have died, and my hunch about the Moashi was right. Damn, I so wanted to be there when we marched on to victory. Ah well, I'll save you a spot at my table in the hall of heroes. Now, down to business. I have become very concerned about the number of our vessels being pulled away for duty on the border. Theoretically, all the Houses defend it equally, but lately the requests for Heraani ships have increased significantly. It is starting to leave us undermanned in the inner systems. Now if I have died, all the warriors will have gathered here. Our enemies will either attack our borders now, or will wait for all of our lads and lassies to return to their far flung posts, and then make a strike for Heraan itself. Now that you are Arbiter, you have to carry the weight of the whole House on your shoulders. Don't fret. I made sure that your shoulders were {G"wide" "strong"} enough! You must determine which of the two theories is true, and than act upon it. So much is at stake now. The Moashi are as slippery as eels, as cunning as cutter-House rats. They know we are making a push, and have plans in place to foil us. If they win, then the Heraani will cease to exist. They will blast us into atoms, leaving only dogs to lick at their heels. Don't let that happen! Now I know you don't feel like you can succeed, {G"boy" "girl"}, but don't worry, neither did I when I was in your place. Just remember, I have faith in you! I know that you will lead us to victory. When we are First House, unite the Aurorans. You have the wits to do it, for I have seen it in you. Unite us, then lead us to victory..."
Techerakh's image fades, and you are alone once more.

No sooner have you touched down than there is a commotion on the flightdeck. You barely have time to disembark before a Dechtakars messenger steps forward and delivers you a data chip. You quickly load it into your wristcomp, and read the contents of the communique.
You gasp as you read, "House Moash has accused the Heraani of neglecting their duty to the Auroran Empire by not providing enough troops and vessels to man the Federation border."
You allow the rage to build inside you as you read further.
"They also accuse House Heraan of being in league with the Federation and of using their influence with the mortal enemies of the Auroran Empire to destroy the other four Houses in preparation for seizing the Empire."
The audacity of the Moashi amazes you. They have accused House Heraan of all the actions they themselves have undertaken. The communique demands that you travel to Aurora and speak on behalf on House Heraan. You stalk back into your ship, and quickly send a message to Hune, asking him to meet you on Aurora, as soon as possible.

No sooner have you left the Great Council Hall, then a young Heraani warrior rushes up to you.
"KarHallarn," he pants, and you get the impression that he has been running a long time, "The Moash Fleets left Aurora hours ago, and appear to be headed into Heraani space."
Your blood chills. Realizing that they have failed in their bid to destroy House Heraan politically, the Moashi have decided to try old fashioned force of arms. You rush towards your ship, the House must be warned.
Your first communication is with Kuron, who is still overjoyed by your victory at the Auroran Council. But he quickly realizes the plight House Heraan is in. With the bulk of its fighting capability on the Federation border, there is little standing in the way of House Moash smashing Heraan and killing the Heart of the House. Kuron begs you to buy him some time to mount a defense. You tell him that you will try.

Wearily you get to your feet and make your way to your ship. Kuron, from his hospital bed, informed the House Elders to expect this challenge, as the Moash will be trying to win back some honor. Kuron had asked you what you intended to do when the challenge came, but you told him you had no idea. Now you do.

Initially the other houses stick the boot in to the remaining Moashi fleet. You only stop the other houses when it gets out of hand.
Before too long you are seated at the First House's position of the Great Auroran Council beside Kuron the Silver Arm (so named now in honor of his new cybernetic limb). The other four Houses quietly await the Thurokiirs Address.
"Brothers and Sisters of the Auroran Empire," you begin, "the days of fighting among ourselves must end. In disunity we will stay under the boot of the Federation. They take our lives, take our resources, treat us with disdain, and fail to see that we are their equals, if not their betters.
"We have been at war with them for generations, but the days of stalemate are over. Soon we will begin a campaign against the Federation, the likes of which has not been seen since the days of early contact.
"Look about you. Are our differences so great that the Auroran Nation cannot push forward? We go to win our right as the pre-eminent warriors in the universe. All I ask is that you are patient, and keep the fighting amongst ourselves limited. I have a much grander vision in mind. House Heraan believes in that vision. Do you?"
The Hall erupts to the cheers of the massed warriors. You take it that they agree.

You meet with Frandall in a dimly lit bar on Goliath. He shakes your hand and offers you a seat. You wonder how many of the people in the bar are rebel operatives. You have a feeling that Frandall is pretty thorough, leaving nothing to chance. But then, like most non-Aurorans, he would be afraid of dying.
"Hello KarHallarn," he says.
For a master spy, Frandall does not exactly look the part, but then you guess that is the whole point.
"Mu'Randa has told me what you intend, and I have in turn spoken with the Rebel High Command. We have already reached an impasse. The Rebellion will not support the Auroran Empire if it conquers the Federation. I'm afraid that we feel your bad system of government is little better than the Federation's worse one."
"And what would it take for the Rebellion to come aboard?" you ask.
"Well, for starters, a judicial system would be good..."

You discuss the possible entry points into Federation Space from the Auroran Border.
"It is most likely going to be through Roughneck Territory." Kuron waves a silver limb towards the ceiling. "The only problem is the poxing Roughnecks themselves. Every time I have considered attacking the Federation, I stumble on the Roughnecks. I have to admit that they would probably hold any advance long enough for the Federation to reinforce the area and push us back.
"So do the Roughnecks have anybody who would take them apart? I know that our warriors would be able to take them, but we don't have time. We have to skip through the system and push on into Federation space."
You think about the possibility, when Kuron suddenly slaps the table. "I know who to get," he beams at you "listen, by the time you get back from meeting the Polaris and the Rebels, I'll have someone else to meet you."
You finish your drink, and think over the upcoming meetings.

Your next stop is in Goliath. Frandall will be waiting for you, so you set off without delay. You secretly hope that the Rebels will take your offer. While you know that you would ultimately win any war with them, it makes you uncomfortable to think about a guerilla war. Aurorans do not think highly of that sort of fighting, which would give the rebels a huge advantage.

Upon landing the released Heraan warriors cram into the bridge. A lean wiry warrior called Ivo Stormbolts steps forward.
"Wolf, as our new Thurokiir, I must report. While we rotted in that filthy Federation hulk, a few of us formed close ties with some Vell-os prisoners. We exchanged pledges.
We said we would try to free them - not just busting them out, but instead freeing them from the "Collective".
The Vell-os are able to communicate to each other through their thoughts, but at the end of the Vell-os wars, the Federation imprisoned the Vell-os into a controlled version of this "mind". They made the Vell-os wear collars, which disclosed their thoughts and made them slaves.
To free them, the Vell-os said there was an ancient artifact on a planet called Korell that would re-awaken their subconscious minds, giving them more power to break free of the Federation Collective. They pledged to us that they would give us some information to further our tech development.
These Vell-os prisoners were recently transferred to a Medical Research Facility on [Travel Stellar] in the [Travel System] system. Some of us had been forced to work there, and the experiments are horrific.
We ask for leave to rescue them. We gave our word. We need to get to [Travel Stellar] as quick as possible, disable the station and rescue those Vell-os.

The captive Vell-os look as if they have seen better days. They are gaunt and haggard, and many of them bear signs of the barbarous 'experiments' carried out by the Federation Scientists. The look of appreciation on their faces brings a tear to the eye of the most hardened of your warriors, and they quickly line up to be drugged unconscious. You ask Ivo why this is necessary, and he explains that the Federation would be able to track the Vell-os through their collective if they were conscious.
As your warriors carry the Vell-os back aboard [Ship Name], your sensor operator turns to you, a wild gleam in his eye. You immediately recognize the look as the Fjargen, the wild fearful frenzied look of coming battle.
"Arbiter," he grins ruefully "A large Federation interceptor fleet has just entered the system and is moving in to block our escape."
You call for battle stations, and the crew quickly rush to their positions. Casting your eye out to the main viewport, you curse roundly. The Federation are trying their utmost to stop you, and you are greatly outnumbered. You will give them that; at least they make a good fight. The battle lust fills your veins, and you bark out the order to attack...

On landing you revive the Vell-os. They are groggy at first, but are soon revived with the expert medical care provided here. Within hours many of them are looking better, and they explain that their nano-technology enables them to recover far faster than the rest of humanity could hope for.
"But we need to be moving as soon as possible KarHallarn," says a woman named Llanwyn, who seems to be their spokesperson, "because the Federation will already be on their way here. We need to get to the planet Korell to gain access to an ancient artifact that will amplify our strength so that we will gain the strength to be free from these damn bonds.

Llanwyn steps onto the bridge with a grace you find hard to grasp. Men and women alike have all been touched by the grace and humility of your passengers, and the gratitude of saving their new shipmates from the terror of the Federation bio-bombs.
"Wolf," she smiles "You and your crew have suffered terrible privations in order to save us from the Federation, and we are extremely grateful. However, we have another request to ask of you. We are in need of transport to the Polaris station they call [Return Stellar] in the [Return System] system. Once we are under the protection of the Polaris, we will be able to begin our fight to free our people telepathically from the Federation's collective. Would you be willing to transport us there?"
You consider for a moment, but your decision is already made. You have sacrificed for these people, and to deny them now would cheapen the deeds of your warriors terribly. You tell Llanwyn that you will take them. She smiles, and tells you the co-ordinates. It will be a long journey, but no longer than it has been already.

You and your crew are amazed at the response you receive upon entering Polaris space. A flight of fiendish looking fighters slowly surround your ship, and you are about to call for battle stations when a hailing channel is offered, and an audio only message instructs you to land at the station.
Upon landing you are met by an elderly gentleman. He is old, but still has the look of eagles about him, and you are glad that he wants to talk rather than fight.
"I am Nil'Rabiska" he says "and you are Wolf. We have reason to believe that you have Vell-os passengers aboard. Is this correct?"
You tell him that you are Wolf, Thurokiir of Heraan house, and that if he wishes to harm your passengers, he will have a fierce battle on his hands.
He smiles, "Proud Arbiter, fear not our blows. An old communicator left by the Vell-os generations ago awoke from it's slumber ten days ago, and told us to expect your ship. We are here to escort you to [Return Stellar] in the [Return System] system, where you will be permitted to land and rest. You have done your passengers a great service, and we will honor you." You gratefully accept his invitation, and head for [Return Stellar].

When you land you hand over the data-cube to one of the gathered scientists.
"This will make for huge advances in technology," she explains excitedly. "It will take some time to analyze and put to use, but you will be the first to hear of it."
With that they quickly scurry away to begin looking at the data, and you grin and shake your head at their excitement.

As you are landing you receive a message from one of the scientists that have been working on the Vell-os Data telling you that he has a surprise for you. You quickly go through your post-flight routine, your curiosity somewhat piqued, and when you leave your ship you are greeted by a vessel that makes all of the surrounding vessels look pitiful.
"We've called it the Thunderforge," says one of the scientists quietly, "and we have been working around the clock to finish it. It has two radar missile launchers with one hundred and fifty radar missiles, two storm chainguns, four fusion pulse turrets and four 150mm railguns. But what separates her from the rest are the four new weapons she has that are based on the tech from that Vell-os data-cube you gave us. We call them 'TripHammers', based on how they work and what they will do to your foes.
"This is the first we have ever built," he continues with quiet pride. "It will be months before we will complete another, but we thought we would offer this one to you, Arbiter. We would be honored if you would have her."

Kuron meets you in the bar and sits down. He is excited about something, but with all the to-ing and fro-ing lately, you are starting to wonder whether or not it is worth the hassle.
"It WOULD probably be easier to just kill everybody," you begin.
Kuron laughs. "I have set up another meeting for you, but this one is pretty easy," Kuron begins, taking a long draught of Ale, "I know the man very well. In fact he was a battle brother to Techerakh, in the early days. A great warrior, Archindar, otherwise know as Eamon Flannigan. He is the leader of the Wild Geese."

In fact he was a battle brother to Techerakh, in the early days. A great warrior, Archindar, otherwise know as Eamon Flannigan. I believe you are familiar with him?"

Offer Text
As you sit on the launch pad on New England awaiting your prey, suddenly you get a warning buzz from your sensor array, and immediately see a Federation fleet jumping into the system. Krane must have been tipped off! In the middle of the fleet is her ship. You know that you will be lucky to survive the battle, but with so much at stake, you must kill that woman, or your whole plan will fall apart.
With cold-resolve you launch your ship skyward, vowing to succeed and to find somewhere to land to send off the necessary long-distance signals to the waiting battle fleets.

With Krane dead, you contact the Rebels, the Wild Geese and the Polaris to inform them to begin their campaigns before sitting back to ponder the events to come. You decide that it is probably a good time to head back to Heraan to see if there is anything else you need to do. If all goes even vaguely well, the Federation will cease to exist before much longer, and you can settle down for a few weeks at least...
