* A prominent Nanotrasen research vessel, the NVS Baxter, quickly cuts off communication after a bluespace jump on the outskirts of the Val system. SIC response finds a maniacal, hostile crew possessing abilities best described as magic. The blood cultists are ruthlessly put down by force, the few who lived being passed along into cells where they are observed and interrogated. A quick jailbreak forces the termination of the few left, though much information is gained about a supposed force known as the Geometer, or Nar'sie. An alarming number of personnel with exposure to the event report distressing nightmares and the constant sound of gears clicking in their head | * A prominent Nanotrasen research vessel, the NVS Baxter, quickly cuts off communication after a bluespace jump on the outskirts of the Val system.

* A set of different ruins primarily made of aged brass is found by independent explorers on the oceanic planet of EYS-44. Unable to access what they thought to be Vxtvul ruins, they rent out a first-generation cyborg. The unit is able to access the ruins, but turns on the crew after it enters into a chamber filled with drawings on the floor. After the cyborg is destroyed, the site is abandoned | * A set of different ruins primarily made of aged brass is found by independent explorers on the oceanic planet of EYS-44.

* The Inquisition, a fanatical group that arises after news of the events of the NVS Baxter and EYS-44, throws meteors in a slingshot orbit at the brass structures on the aforementioned planet. Most of the planet's fauna dies in the resulting environmental shock, and the planet is rendered inhabitable. The individuals responsible are tried and sentenced permanently for their crimes against life. Cybersun quietly negotiates the de-braining of the guilty to become the first set of non-Nanotrasen cyborgs | * The Inquisition, a fanatical group that arises after news of the events of the NVS Baxter and EYS-44, throws meteors in a slingshot orbit at the brass structures on the aforementioned planet.

The largest human corporation in existence. While their subsidiaries and business transactions cover several aspects of space life, they have not faced significant anti-trust breakup despite their significant horizontal influence. Pioneers of materials technology that helped to lead humanity out of Sol and into the rest of the universe, their most recent endeavors have been replicating the exceptional technology of the Vxtvul Empire. Their current CEO, Theo Deimi, is a static, cutthroat individual whose beliefs of pragmaticism and technological progress have curiously raked in thousands of non-human employees, though several alien sympathizers point out Nanotrasen's unjust payment of non-humans in incredibly demanding positions, such as medical professions, engineering contracts, or even management. While not official, it's generally accepted that their coffers filling the SIC's has helped to keep their ambitions uninterrupted for so long, though several have grown contemptuous of Nanotrasen's exception from judicial consequences. | |||
