−	He zooms in on a smaller section. "This is the area we call '[[The Nexus]],' or just '[[Nexus]]' for short.
−	Not long ago, it was a verdant sector of space with dozens of habital planets and a fortune in untapped resources.
−	But shortly after we established a presence here and built our training academy, something happened.
−	The Nexus Star inflated - it became a supergiant and burned away all life, turning most of this sector into a charred, barren wasteland."
−	"[[The Nexus]] has changed drastically since Earthforce first came here,	+	He glances nervously around. "But I couldn't sit still with the information I found. My name is Secret Agent. I was planted in the Volcom by Earthforce to gather intel on what the Volcom are up to...and I found something - something big."
−	but what hasn't are the pirates that arrived here too.
−	Bands of outlaws and brigands like the Volcom, originally lured by the paradise that was the rich shipping lanes,
−	have gained a foothold since the Nexus Event.
−	Since Earthforce has diverted many of its resources towards dealing with greater threats like the UrQa,
−	it's up to us to quell the pirate uprising."

−	"Demon Hunter, as part of this effort, I need you to patrol [[Earthforce Trading Outpost]] for me.
−	There's a wormhole nearby that leads there. Traverse the wormhole and report back to me after you've done so.
