Here the war is just an unpleasant echo.  The cluster's inhabitants -- assorted archaeologists, historians, adventurers, lowlifes, suspected spies, off-duty officers, as well as the collected native population (the last believed by most of the former not to really count) -- are far more interested in the exciting discoveries to be made in the forbidding deserts, swamps and jungles of the five primary worlds.

Did their empires flourish and fall independently, or were they uplifted and later abandoned by some conquering precursor race?  What is the rightful place of the hundreds of fascinating artifacts recovered from the ruins -- museums, private collections, or the hands of the makers' surviving descendants?

The year is 4309.  The human sphere has fractured, and Imperial and Colonial forces are clashing in dozens of systems across the galaxy.

Fortunately for you, the Hyades cluster is a neutral territory.  Its alien cultures -- which, although primitive, appear to be the remains of several ancient fallen civilisations -- have been placed under the protection of the multi-species Galactic Parliament, a benevolent but mostly ineffectual overseer.

Here the war is just an unpleasant echo.  The cluster's inhabitants -- assorted archaeologists, historians, adventurers, lowlifes, suspected spies, off-duty officers, as well as the collected native population (the last believed by most of the former not to really count) -- are far more interested in the exciting discoveries to be made in the forbidding deserts, swamps and jungles of the five primary worlds.

Ordinarily you'd have a lot to say on the subject.  Right now, however, you have other priorities.  You would very much like to find your pants, and something to take care of that pounding headache.  You're sure that the party you went to last night was fantastic -- you can't believe you finally got to see the inside of Matthias Renault's luxury yacht!  You only wish that you were able to remember more of it -- and that you knew how to extricate yourself from your current predicament.

Saturday evening:\\
'''Founding of Tellas Beta''' by Rolf\\
The Colony Wars between the Dranek Empire and the Human Alliance did
not turn out in the Empire's favour. Although firmly  in the driving
seat in the few few battles of the war, they were on the back foot
when the humans found many allies to help  in the war effort. Dranek,
however, never surrender. They would have continued fighting for many
years, if it weren't for a  huge accident on their homeworld, which
caused a spatial rupture, destroying half their core system.

The Dranek fleet decimated, their leadership wiped out, they had no
choice but to surrender. A new Dranek leadership took  it upon
themselves to give their race a new start, and became more open,
starting trade with other alien governments. The  enigmatic Ayos, a
relatively new race in interstellar politics, despite allying with the
humans during the Colony Wars,  were still largely a mystery.

They worship a race called the Ancients, a powerful space faring
civilization that once controlled the whole galaxy, that  mysteriously
disappeared eons ago. They left ruins all around the galaxy, although
ruins is perhaps the wrong word. While  certainly abandoned, they are
in perfect condition, which makes the Ancients disappearance all the
stranger. They have many  gods and preach of the "Way to Kalivas", the
virtuous path that will lead them to their homeworld.

The Ancient homeworld was discovered about a thousand years ago by an
emotionless and scientifically minded race called the  Taynen. They
would have investigated closer, but the planet was guarded by massive
planetary defence turrets and shields.  While it has been studied
heavily from far, no one has yet been able to get to the surface. The
Taynen Order were mostly  neutral during the war, selling technology
to whoever could provide something useful in exchange. The accident in
the  Dranek core system is of great interest to them, and they have
been petitioning the Dranek empire for permission to conduct
extensive research in the area.

The second space station built in the honour of the Ayos hero Tellas,
has just been completed, and the Ayos Illuminate has  invited
representatives of all the major alien races to come celebrate this
auspicious occasion with them. A chance to meet  up and talk to
representatives of the other alien races is a chance too good to pass
up.\\\
