The Story So Far, volume 1

It began with Project Guardian.  Albert and Vector approached the Council of Voices with the idea of creating the Guardians due to the losses suffered during the Reaper War. Despite some great misgivings at the implications, they gave their approval finally to take Terrans who were ill-adjusted and were likely to never fully recover from the Breaking to be converted into new super soldiers for the military.

After months of careful study and nurturing, they have finally managed to create the first generation of these new soldiers and they are currently undergoing field trials to be adjusted to their new augments and powers.

Elsewhere, Brigadier General X and Sissel Dering had accidentally gotten caught in a rift-warp.  Thanks to a malfunctioning rift-creating watch given to Sissel by Cycorp, the detective and the general spent a year being flung from universe to universe.  By chance, they happened across Cycorp Company again, where Vector deactivated the watch.  But then Vector got a call for medical aid on an colony outpost planet named Z’ar.  Sissel and X tagged along for the summons.

General Yen also found himself busy with offworlders.  Just before the word went out about the colony planet Z’ar, an Elf named Lorene dropped into Berlin and caused a stir.  He kicked up several fights before Yen finally defused the situation, only to have the Traveller Will drop in and another fight nearly break out.  The shenanigans were interrupted as Yen received the distress call from Z’ar.  Lorene and Will tagged along.

Just before the Z’ar incident, Liash Commander Jerind Orichalcos met with the Infinite Alliance’s Council of Voices to propose a trade agreement. The Liash would give the Alliance access to the techno-organic weapons of Bastian, if the Terrans and Technoar would agree to cut ties with the Draconians and Naga.  The offer was, of course, abhorrent to the Council of Voices, and Orichalcos was promptly asked to leave.  He responded by teleporting a Liash strike team into the heart of the Alliance’s Archives, where they proceeded to steal data.  The Liash hacker managed to get through half of her task, uploading a sizable amount of data directly to an unknown Liash location.  Unfortunately for her, the Archives’ defense shot her through the heart, along with all of her comrades except for one, who was taken for Psionic interrogation.

The Z’ar Incident itself was a massacre.  Six thousand Liash forces overran a compound of two thousand fresh recruits of the Alliance.  There was a Sectis colony and a budding Naga colony nearby; the Sectis managed to get all of the Naga civilians inside and seal the colony shut before the bloodshed got too out of hand.  But out of the over two thousand men and women stationed on the military outpost, only one survived:  Major Darius O’Connor, the commanding officer stationed at the base to oversee training and inspection.

Thankfully, the Liash never managed to get off their trump card.  On board the Liash warship-slash-science-vessel the Revenant, the Liash had been experimenting on Ikki (formerly known as Riku’s Replica), attempting to brainwash him to follow their orders.  Ikki managed to not only resist the attempts in mental conditioning, but convince the Liash that they had worked.  When they tried to “activate” him, he instead when on a killing spree, slaughtering those who had tortured him and escaping the ship to make planetfall.  He then proceeded to cut a path through the Liash occupying the base, making his way to the command center, where he found Darius trying to put out a call for help.  Ikki assisted him in making the call.

Help came within seconds.  Through the technology of the Alliance Gate system, Alliance soldiers (hardened veterans, no green recruits) overran the base, slaughtering the remaining Liash forces.  In orbit, the Alliance starfleet bombarded the Liash vessel Revenant until it was space shrapnel.

General Yen and Vector Du’Galle were among those called in to help with cleanup.  There are many dead to bury, and much to be done.  One thing is certain, though:  this is war.
