Mirach Syetem Union Space: Union high command space orbital, Mirach Prime 9:24AM
Hargun sat with Volkus at the head of the conference table, the room was empty save for them two high ranking officials. The event had been put together so the two could share information and put together and read reports. A huge amount of events had happened over the few months, with the war dying down somewhat the galaxy had expected to go quiet for a while, allowing everyone to gather a collective breath. However that had not been the case. Numerous other battles and situations had popped up and activities were increasing with those not actively taking part in what had been dubbed 'The First Ancerious War' or AW1. Hargun had yet to see Volkus's reports on the current matters, and there was a lot to read. Hargun went through the most important ones first, flagged red on his personal HUD the first report that came up was in a collection category named 'Ancerious Strike Team' something that Volkus had personally put together very recently to go where the Union couldn’t, to infiltrate and explore beyond the bounds of the Empire. It was an excellent idea, but from what Hargun was about to read, the galaxy was more alive than ever.
Hargun started to read.

Mission report 1:
Ruring a routine scouting mission a Shadow Recon craft picked up unknown signals coming from region 225, the strike team was sent to investigate. What they found when they arrived was a party terraformed system with one large inhabited world, numerous warships were also in system and they identified themselves to be the 'Eos Consortium' things progressed well and they welcomed the discovery of another race, they were good hosts at first to the team however they kept making references to a god they worshipped called Eos. This made tensions rise and when we made planetfall the Eos people took offence to a black member of the team, my security officer Ziede Fall who is a noted Union fighter. Further problems occurred when the team asked about the Consortium themselves, with the information that was gained a peaceful relation with the Union seemed less likely by the minute. They eventually took us to a large cathedral type construct, inside we found something absolutely unbelievable. The 'High Exemplar' as they called him was delivering a sermon... but he was doing so... wearing a set of Nakai armour. I and the team were shocked and we inquired into where they found it. They merely said it was from the time of Eos. This brought many questions in being and we found ourselves being shown around their city. We discovered they used a kind of singularity power generation not unlike the Nakai however nowhere near as powerful, this kind of tech would aid Union singularity research which is very close to completion. We also were shown the cities defences, a large shield and also they seem to use wave and AOE weapons significantly. In the end we were asked if the Union would bow to Eos and join the Consortium. We obviously declined and we were shown back to the dropship we came in. there was a brief fire fight and we were pursued by interceptors. By this time my ship had messaged high command and authentication was granted to send a battle fleet for support. We managed to get away from the massive Eos ships but took damage while doing so. What happened next however was incredibly surprising. after the Union battle fleet arrived we got another inbound FTL signature. Seconds later the A'Zores seemingly turned up. The Eos in a surprising act totally ignored us and went straight for the A'Zores, we intercepted communications about 'Dark and corrupt ones' and 'Eos grand enemy' however we didnt get much more, we only hung around long enough to see the A'Zores systematically destroy the small Eos fleet and then glass the planet, when it turned its attention to us we then headed home.
Attached to this file are all the images, audio and sensor scans we could get from this encounter. I’m afraid sir the Union has another enemy out there.
Captain Lydia Team leader.
Hargun sighed. This was a very pressing matter indeed, another enemy was one thing. But one that knew, hated and had links to the Nakai was another entirely. He scanned over the images of Eos ships, tech and people and saw that they definitely reminded him a lot of Nakai descendants. It was a puzzlement indeed. However they were not Nakai and quite obviously could be beaten, and that’s all that mattered to Hargun, he flagged the report as a red and sent it off to high command and the milky way.
Meanwhile Volkus was overlooking the reports of the latest Dark Triumvirate attacks, His team had already in another mission stopped a Capitol attack on a far flung Union mining world of Kessel. It was very weird for Capitol to make such daring attacks and a small Union fleet had managed to drive them off, however his team had managed to help destroy the Capitol officer on the ground and broken the back of the enemy assault, however Capitol had gotten away with more vital supplies. Volkus now knew what for. His team had gone on a mission just a few days ago and only now had gotten back the report was extremely disturbing. Volkus face was white when reading it.
“Sir...” Volkus interjected Hargun in reading. Hargun looked up.
“Yes?”
“You need to read this sir... now” Volkus pinged the report to Hargun who opened it up and started to read.

Mission report 4:
The number of attacks made by this so called 'Dark Triumvirate' seem to indicate they are raiding large amounts of supplies for something. What exactly they are planning was a very high priority from both Union high command as well as allied nations command. Our mission was to infiltrate Capitol space following up leads from sources that the Rubikon system in Capitol space was in fact a massive DT staging ground. Our ship the Solitude was kitted out with a Full Displacement field for this mission and we made out way into the system unseen.
First initial scans revealed a big system, 6 planets with numerous moons orbited a large star. 3 of these worlds were populated, one of them was an iceball with what seemed to be research stations all over and 2 uninhabited worlds. Along with this the most populated world was surrounded by huge numbers of shipyards (this is possibly Capitols Major shipyard) as well as a disturbingly big drydock containing the skeletal frame for what is assumed to be a Super Dreadnought size ship. Along with this was a massive fleet of Capitol, Shadow Guard and Shadow Blade ships, they appeared to be practising joint manoeuvres and so we moved around them. The team decided to infiltrate the ice world facility and so managed to infiltrate the facility with minor resistance. They discovered 3 levels of an underground base, one was living quarters. One was a minor lab and another was a large important lab. They first investigated the secondary lab and found what is theorised as a advanced fusion reactor. It has to also be noted that members from all 3 nations were guarding the facility and so its importance was obvious. The team after killing the operators of the reactor put explosives around it and then made their way down. After a ferocious firefight with numerous nations guards the team discovered yet another horrifying discovery. Being held in a containment room was a single Nakai Yol'Thua MBT. It was active but it appeared that the DT did not know how to operate it unlike Union members. Jake the scribe managed to hack the computer system and discovered what we came for as well as far more.
The Dark Triumvirate is using the supplies for 3 reasons, one to build a far more advanced super dreadnought than previous dubbed 'Scars Hammer MK.2' this ship has massively improved reactor systems, armour and weapons and should not be underestimated like other Capitol ships, it is around 32% complete. The second is that Shadow Blade are using the supplies to overdrive their ship yards, this is giving them huge production capability so they can produce more ships than many of us. And lastly the Shadow Guard appear to be working on some sort of 'Super weapon' though we couldn’t find any additional details on the subject. Jake managed to introduce a computer virus to the system which will slow the progress of any additional research, he also deleted the research on the Nakai vehicle though it appears it is already complete, they seemed to have been studying it to glean how to create better armour composites and reactor designs. The team then managed to pilot the Nakai tank out of the facility, where the explosives were detonated and the base was destroyed. We then exited the system as quickly as possible, it should be noted that this report be distributed to the allies as soon as possible. The DT are proving to be an even bigger threat than first seen.
Captain Lydia Team leader.
Hargun looked up at Volkus with a very serious expression.
“This... is very serious indeed” Hargun said grimly. Volkus nodded.
“With this sort of power the DT will become Ancerious main threat within the year, very soon I expect them to stop raiding and start making more organised attacks at nations” Volkus said thinking.
“That postulation seems to be very likely Captain” Hargun said rubbing his cheek.
“What should we do Admiral?” Volkus asked.
“Double patrols, I will send this to our allies and try to get some sort of co ordinated defence organised. We cant let these guys get the upper hand. Unfortunately they may already have it. This war we are already is in bogging us allies down. We need to ignore the IE, they are no longer a threat, the DT however... are” Hargun said quite firmly. Volkus looked up at him again.
“This isn’t the only problem. I have been surveying Tenebrae reports to us detailing some sort of 'cult' that seems to be spreading throughout Ancerious. I sent my team to investigate... what they found was not good” Volkus said grimly, Hargun raised an eyebrow.
“How do you mean?” Hargun asked. Volkus began to explain.
“The team was sent to a world where our contacts said that the cult had seemingly spread to, the world was very clearly divided by upper and lower class. The team first investigated the slums as that’s where a cult would likely spread. I was told their influence was great. The team managed to defeat some sort of cult leader who was... 'possessed' unfortunately some of the team were also influenced by his power. After managing to snap out of it they cleaned up and headed to the upper class city. After they were invited to some sort of ball the demon that possessed the leader appeared in full manifestation... it killed thousands and even a member of the team. However they managed to kill it, though I’m not sure if something like that can die. Some of the team had to be mind melded afterwards but they managed to get out alive. This cult seems to be very powerful” Volkus said sadly.
“Things just keep getting better today... tell Union security forces to keep a look out, any 'cult' hints will be tracked down and destroyed with extreme prejudice” Volkus nodded.
“What next?” Hargun asked. Volkus brought up another file.
“It seems the Nex want to make an official alliance with us” Volkus said smiling.
“Well that seems like some good news. When you are able Volkus go and meet them, you can have the honour to sign the alliance” Hargun said smiling, Volkus bowed.
“Thank you si...” Volkus and Hargun were interrupted by the com link. Hargun clicked it.
“SIR YOU ARE NEEDED NOW!” the man shouted, Hargun frowned.
“What is the matter lieutenant?” Hargun asked, the two of them listening intently.
“Sir we had a break in to a Union ship a few days ago... the culprit seemed to hack the AI and stole valuable information before escaping” the man exclaimed.
“That’s not possible” Hargun stated back.
“I know sir! That’s the problem, he seemed to bypass the AI... it seemed he could control technology, however that’s not the problem...” The man said nervous. Hargun looked at Volkus confused.
“Then what is?” He asked.
“The blood sample he left behind... the guard shot him, and the analysis has confirmed what race he was...” The man said.
“Well?” Volkus said.
“He was Evisorok” Harguns blood immediately went cold. How in creations name...
“That’s impossible! I was there when the final battle was upon us! I saw the Evisorok destroyed as well as a lot of us! Millions died in that final battle but we emerged victorious! How could they have survived...” Hargun said suddenly bereft.
“I’m not sure sir, however they are here and we need to be ready” The man said “Lieutenant out” Hargun sat shaking his head, Volkus sighed.
“Looks like the war is but a carnival it seems”
Hargun sat with Volkus at the head of the conference table, the room was empty save for them two high ranking officials.
