Introduction

The first mision requires a level 1000 character to start it.

Location: Lyceum, Lyceum

• Agent: Xenocrates 3000
• Mission: The Zebra Armada

The Zebra Armada

"Simon, it is under very dire circumstances that I must tell you this!" says Xenocrates 3000.
"It seems someone has finally opened the gateway to the galaxies of the universe's mortal enemy, the Zebra Armada!
Those who opened the path have no idea of what they have done, none at all."
Xenocrates 3000 starts pacing about the room frantically.
"This does not bode well for any of the inhabitants of the entire universe!" Xenocrates 3000 stops and looks in your direction,
obviously sensing your puzzlement. "You do not know of the Zebra Armada?! I suppose you would not,
they were sealed away long ago, and much of what we knew about them was lost.
Perhaps I should enlighten you and explain the dangerous ramifications of opening the gate,
ones that could lead to the destruction of all other civilized life in the universe!"
Xenocrates 3000 begins pacing again, this time even faster.
"Before I tell you this, I want to make sure you understand the harsh reality of the situation ...
and now that I think of it, this is the perfect oppertunity to have a Field Researcher collect data on the Zebra Armada.
The information in our databanks is quite dated. We will need new strategies to combat this dastardly foe!"
Xenocrates 3000 quickly walks over to you, grabs your shoulders and looks you in the eyes.
"Simon, you must enter the Zebra territories, the universe is in desperate need!"

Summary
Explore the Serengeti for Xenocrates 3000.
Your sensor logs will prove extremely valuable in finding strategies to counter the Zaphragi threat!

Location: Lyceum, Lyceum

• Agent: Xenocrates 3000
• Mission: The Zebra Armada

The Zebra Armada

"Judging from the energy burns and blast marks, I can see you finally met the Zebra Armada...
the Zaphragi are a very fearsome race indeed, are they not?
Now I am sure you understand why we had to lock them away so long ago... If only the portal to their realm had not been opened!"
Xenocrates 3000 walks over to a computer console in the room. "While you were engaging the Zebra Armada,
I contacted the Paxians, Earthforce, and even the Merchant's Guild to make them aware of the situation.
Obviously we have a threat that is even greater than that of the murderous UrQa.
They have been mainly dormant in recent years, but I assure you, the Zebra Armada will not... "
He calls you over to the computer console and begins searching the Lyceum data-archive.
"Kilrathi ... Shofixti ... Ah! Here we go, the Zaphragi.
As you can see the data we have collected on them is extremely dated and extremely limited, by our standards at least.
After their last invasion it was of paramount importance that we contain them, so there was very little time for research.
You see, the Zaphragi are a humanoid marsupial race with a very low maturation time, and a strong desire to mate.
Due to this fact, they are in a perpetual state of population expansion.
They use up the resources of a planet in excess of fifty times that of a normal humanoid species!
Eventually during the youth of their race, they used up most of the resources on their homeworld,
they could no longer support their population. They began to slowly die of starvation, disease and overcrowding.
It was then a strong military goverment took control and began the reckless Zaphragi expansionism!
Before long, all the worlds that had contact with the Zaphragi were conqured and colonized, their native populations massacred!
It took only a few years before they had settled on every habital planet in their sector.
Even with this newfound territory, the Zebra Armada realized that they needed even more planets to sustain their population
which was already in the hundreds of billions, it was then they found the wormhole that lead to our sector of space.
You can only imagine the war that ensued,
and the eventual Zaphragi defeat which lead to them being imprisioned in their own sector of space!
We must defeat them again, or they will attempt to conquer us all!
I will offer what help I may, and I have received word that Earthforce and Paxius will help as well.
The Zebra Armada and the Zaphragi must and will be stopped!"

Zebra, Panther and Rhino

Panther

Location: Lyceum, Lyceum

• Agent: Xenocrates 3000
• Mission: The Panther

The Panther

"The Zaphragi Panther is a very deadly light fighter.
Piloted by members of the Royal Guard sworn to protect the Zaphragi Princess...
tsk, fanatical devotion makes combatting them even more dangerous!
It says in our data-archive one of the main tatics used by Panther
pilots during the first Zaphragi conflict was one of stealth and misdirection.
They would lie in wait and ambush enemies with an all out attack that could quickly decimate foes!
Hmm.. there is also a note here that the Royal Guard will store excess power and transfer it to their princess in times of need,
giving her personalized ship a combat advantage! Yes Simon,
if you are to combat the Zaphragi piloting this ship it would be wise to separate the guard from the princess,
assuming our data is still useful of course." Xenocrates 3000 turns away from his computer console and faces you.
"I wish you the best of luck Simon, this is not an easy task that you are taking on."

Summary
Find and destroy the Princess, Ragitagha Kilrathi.

Location: Lyceum, Lyceum

• Agent: Xenocrates 3000
• Mission: The Panther

The Panther

"You have toppled one of the Zebra Armada's primary pillars!
Without the Zaphragi princess, the Panther wings should be significantly weakened.
The power of morale is a most important one in any battle and without the princess,
their morale must have been crushed! Hmm... Based on preliminary observations,
it seems that this blow to the Zaphragi has also weakened
their defenses enough that you can penetrate deeper into their space!
Perhaps taking the offensive was the proper course of action.
Regardless, take this, it is a very special item preserved from the last Zaphragi War.
It seems best that you have it."

Zebra

Location: Lyceum, Lyceum

• Agent: Sky Marshal Phelps
• Mission: The Zebra

The Zebra

"Suprised to see an Earthforce Sky Marshal here, aren't you Simon?
This threat is an urgent matter and we have brough all the information in the Earthforce Databanks regarding the Zaphragi.
Hell, we even raised the Earthforce security level to Fire Truck Red!
You see, Earthforce played a key role in the first Zaphragi War,
we held the Zebra Armada at bay while Lyceum finally found a way to finish them and lock them in their own region of space.
It really burns me that we couldn't detain the Cult of Mastadonte before they found a way to open that gate.
So much is at stake, so it's good we have a guy like you working on taking down the Zebra Armada."
Sky Marshal Phelps gives you a hearty slap on the back.
"Anyway, according to the Earthforce Databank, the Zebra heavy fighter is a fairly fast and heavily armored ship.
They can strike fearsome physical attacks from both short and long range, and in general should not be taken lightly.
It also says here that even being in the presence of the Zaphragi Prince
grants a very strong defensive boost to his personal guards.
It would be wise to be careful if you are going in to take him down, and we really could use a victory in this new confrontation.
Taking down the Zaphragi Prince should disrupt the entire Zebra Armada long enough for us to send in more recon teams.
Good Luck Simon, and when you make it back, Earthforce would be honored to have you as part of our forces."

Summary
Find and destroy the Prince, Sutaghi Kilrathi.

Location: Lyceum, Lyceum

• Agent: Sky Marshal Phelps
• Mission: The Zebra

The Zebra

"Amazing Simon! You did it! The Zaphragi Prince has been destroyed.
Intel from our scouts says the Zebra Armada
is taking up defensive positions in another sector of their space.
You know that that means?!
It means they're not as cocky as they were when they started this latest offensive!
They know that we've advanced just as much as they have since the first
conflict and now they're reconsidering their strategies.
It also means we opened up a hole in their forward lines,
and we can go deeper into their terrorities, take even more of the fight to them!
Simon, I think you've earned this!
It's a relic from the Zaphragi War and very rare, but you deserve it!"

Rhino

Location: Lyceum, Lyceum

• Agent: Govanon
• Mission: The Rhino

The Rhino

"We Paxians are rather new to this universe, so the knowlege we possess on the Zebra Armada is very limited.
In fact, we had yet to travel here when the first struggle against the Zaphragi took place.
We have however dedicated time to exploring their sectors, and learning all we can about this fearsome warrior race.
Marco Colombus has been able to reach the Lake Manyara, deep in the Zaphragi sector,
and we will share the data he has collected on the Zaphragi Rhino. 

It seems that this is a combat freighter, very similar to what we use in our travels, and a very capable one indeed.

Ah yes! Marco also was able to obtain information on the High Vizar of the Zaphragi, nar Qarg!"
Govanon thumbs a button on his holopad. "It appears that he will be a very difficult foe at close range,
and he travels with a very large complement of guards.
Perhaps if you could seperate him from his guards and attack him at long range, you could overcome him.
Simon, we have fought the UrQa for eons in many different dimensions, and even they have never posed a threat this great.
I can only hope we can fell their invasion fleet before it is too late."
