Factions at War

The Raix Effect: Chapter 2

Factions of the Tejiar are locked in a bitter war over a precious substance called raix. The Tej-Brask suffered brutal losses after the Tej-Sheel released a powerful raix weapon, decimating the attacking fleets. While a temporary calm permeates the massive debris field, ships continue to look for survivors.

Daily Mission Briefing

Our field report indicates that Sector T5 is nothing more than a massive debris field now. Though the damage is extensive, scans have detected survivors. Contact them and gain some insight into what happened here.

Mission Dialog

I did not expect to survive. Who are you?

>I am representative from the Races government. Who am I speaking with?

I am Kriell of the Tejiar. Commander of the Tej-Brask Third Fleet.

>We detected a massive explosion.

Yes... it was from The Tej-Sheel, our rival faction. When they realized their fleet was beaten and their numbers dwindled, they released a raix-powered weapon of considerable yield.

>A single weapon caused this much damage? The debris field is... so large.

Yes. Not only is it an atrocity, but it represents a source of raix that could have sustained the entire population for almost a half cycle.

>Raix?

Does the Tej-Sheel have more weapons like this one used here?

>We hope not, but they are reckless and unpredictable. This is why we, the Tej-Brask, have been working to control raix refinement and distribution exclusively.

How long have your factions been at war?

>Only a few cycles. The aggression has increased as stocks become more scarce. Worse yet, the war has accelerated the amount of raix used.

This explosion was unlike anything we've detected before. My government is concerned about such weapon being used near our space.

>I couldn't agree more. You should confront the Tej-Sheel! Join our side and put a stop to this.

We'll speak with them, but we are not here to help in this war.

>Perhaps not, but there are others like me in the debris field. Surely you could assist in finding other survivors?

Of course.

>We have lost many ships today. The Tej-Sheel will pay dearly for this.
