The Chuhn
The Chuhn (daily mission)
Mission Briefing
A group of intergalactic merchants called the Chuhn have entered the galaxy to explore and trade. Their visit is temporary, and ships are encouraged to take advantage of new trading opportunities while they are passing through.
The Chuhn visited once, long ago, and seem to know a few details about the galaxy's ancient history.
During the Chuhn visit, the following temporary effects apply to the entire Galaxy:
* Scrapping artifacts for Complex Tech Parts will yield additional parts. * Time between sending shipments has sped up, down to 3 minutes. * All tariffs and auction charges have increased by 5%
Mission Dialogue
* Part 1: Introduction
We bring goods and relics from the far edges of the surrounding clusters. We are interested in what unique things you may have to offer in this galaxy.
We won't be here long, but would love to establish avenues of trade if possible.
We are excited about your visit. Our merchants are especially eager to see what you are offering.
Our ships will be traveling through various sites. We'll try to use your major trade routes.
Have you been to this Galaxy before?
* Part 2: Race-Specific * for Mylarai or Uldrinan
...It was very long ago. Things have changed considerably.
* for Taltherian
Yes. Unfortunately, your borders were closed to trade at the time... Something about a quarantine.
The 0-M7 virus. A dark time for us. We had to abandon everything.
...It was very long ago. Things have changed considerably.
* for Litheor
Yes... but... wait... I recognize your rocky appearance now. You're Litheor. I thought you were from a different galaxy.
We came from another, yes. Due to a grave misunderstanding, we became cut from our main spiral. This is our home now.
So, you also have the capability of intergalactic travel?
No, not in the same way. The method used by the Seedshard would be incompatible with trade and diplomacy. It simply takes too long.
A shame.
Did you manage to come across a race called the Vaash during your travels?
Vaash? Oh, yes. Long ago. We... generally avoid them, however.
Why is that?
Many deals gone bad. Their propensity for deception and counterfeit runs deep. The worst was then they traded us a large batch of what we thought was high grade Furlinium-D.
I wouldn't think that traders of your caliber would be easily fooled.
The Vaash had a way of being very convincing. Needless to say that we no longer do business with them. How exactly did you encounter them?
We've been at war with them for generations.
Should we pass through your main galaxy again, I will be sure to inform your leaders of your situation.
Thank you. The Seedshard will not likely devote more resources to re-establish a beacon here, however.
Time will tell.
What about the Chuhn? Have you ever been stranded... like us?
Intergalactic travelers face that risk... but we prefer not to discuss any specific situations. We haven't had an incident since implementing new failsafe procedures.
When was the last time?
...It was very long ago. Things have changed considerably.
* Part 3: common to all
If you don't mind me asking, how do you manage to navigate intergalactically ?
The technology is proprietary. I can tell you that the process is extremely energy-intensive, difficult, and sometimes hard to predict.
You developed the process ?
Oh... no. However, we like to keep other details private.
I assume you wouldn't be willing to trade for such technology ?
There isn't a price anyone could pay.
Aren't you concerned that other races you encounter would want to take it for themselves ?
We've been fortunate. Along our aimless journey, we have traded for technologies that, so far, have prevented such piracy. We have no problem dealing with thieves.
What do you do, wipe them out ?
Of course not. Besides, it wouldn't be necessary. The overly aggressive races in this supercluster typically die off much faster than the others. We have survived so long because we avoid situations that could result in our annihilation.
Well ... I hope you do decide to return.
We will. So far, it seems this galaxy has a lot to offer. We may not wait so long next time.
End Transmission.
* Part 4: If you have completed the Prejor chain:
I'm curious... are you familiar with the Prejor?
Yes...but... How do you know of them??
They left here some time ago... remnants of their technology still remain.
They were... here?
They must have left in a hurry, though we're not sure why.
The Prejor are notorious galactic slavers.
Where did they go?
We're not exactly sure, but we find traces of them all the time. At their peak, several galaxies were organized like massive prisons. If slaves managed to escape, it would trigger an alarm from the galactic core.
That sounds exactly like what happened to us... but we weren't imprisoned within their slave shields.
Your galaxy was likely enslaved long before your race evolved... your planet wouldn't have been a target.
You didn't detect them when you came through last time?
No. They must have already left.
But why would they have abandoned the galaxy?
I'm not sure... only the Prejor would be able to answer that.
Are they really that evil? They helped us deactivate their system. It would have destroyed us.
It was probably accidental that it wasn't disabled when they left. They always have a motive.
So you think they want to eventually return? They wanted us alive?
That would be my guess.
Well... If they do come, we'll be especially grateful for your next visit.
Indeed, it would be interesting...
