Stormy Forecast

A quick check of my messages has not 1 but two very informative replies from the historian I was contacted by yesterday. He had plenty of information about the Technomage Alliance, and its roots in the distant past. It seems it was all started by some Alien Warrior, actually, my great uncle Syd (my namesake) used to tell us kids stories about him, he called him WarF but the historian told me his full name was actually WarFreak... Boy this historians sources are good, because WarF or WarFreak as he was called was around in the very earliest days of the Raxian Galaxy
if my uncle is anything to go by. He mentionaed he access to some sort of historical archieves from raxias distant past...boy id love to get my hands on those, oh well... all this history ain making me any richer...

time to check if my mates tip worked out. Stone the crows!!! he was right. I asked around the starbase this morning and apparently he came in during the quiet period loaded up and was gone.... there are rumours all over this morning the most common seems to be that he had a red skull and crossbones on the prow of his ship....seems the mystery buyer might be a pirate...oh the intrigue. I decide to bribe one of the starebase cargo handlers for the name...a Cpt Seqia something he didnt catch the last name. Still i googlpedia it and while the references are sketchy at best i do find some reference to HeavyLift Cargo. It seems this pirate knows how to move merchandise and lots of it...still as long as he's paying for mine its ok...right?

Theres another rumour going round atm thats a whole lot more worrying. It seems the galactic negotiators discussing the renewal of the galactic armstice have come to an impass. Negotiators from whole systems have walked out of the talks.. theres rumors everywhere that systems and factions are scrambling to build or get control of shipyards capable of building huge warships. I didnt expect this, I thought id be able to continue captaining the Jones Folley for the rest of my Career ands eventually save enough to retire on some Gaian pradise somewhere... It looks a lot more like theres going to be what some people refer to as 'Interesting Times' ahead.

Ah well no use dwelling on the storm clouds that are brewin, make hay while the sun shining my ma allways said. So ill head back to my roid...im getting to know it real well now.

In the quite patches while im haulin i decide to dig a bit deeper into the Raxian Governing Fleet. One thing I've noticed is that you dont see their ships around much. In fact now that i think about it i think the only one ive seen is Cpt Greenleaf. I decide to approach one of the deputies from SC, he confirms my suspicion that RGF ships are hardly ever spotted in Raxia. I guess they must be some sort of Secretive and Reclusive Faction, either that or they have access to some sort of cloaking technology that renders their ships invisable, but i cant believe that. I decide to message Cpt GreenLeaf perhapes he can clear up some of these issues.

Dear Cpt Greenleaf,

I understand that your a practiced servant leader, perhapes you would be so good as to assist me with some questions that have been nagging me about the Raxian Governing Fleet (RGF).

I have already tried to contact my planetary leader Cpt Munsterd but havent had any response yet.

I have never seen another RGF ship in the raxian system other than yourself, which leads me to two possible conclusions, either the RGF have access to some formidable cloaking technology that renders your ships invisable, Or your a secretive and reclusive faction.

I am worried.

I am indeed worried, talk of building warships...which can only lead to war, reclusive leadership in half of the sector, factions scrambling to out manouvre each other, and a pirate to boot....the stage is set for 'interesting times'
