Introduction
However, not all was well in the intergalactic community. Recently, in a forsaken arm of Andromeda galaxy, a race known as the Ankh had begun a holy crusade to exterminate all known life aside from that which originated from their home planet, Lkshryll-Ort. The Ankh belief system stated that any planets that harbored life, aside from their own planet and deity, Lkshryll-Ort, were blasphemous. As such, they began to spread out in the galaxy, destroying all life on any planets that had even the tiniest microbes populating its surface. At first, their spread was considered benign, and childish, really. Most empires simply gave their area of influence a wide berth to avoid singling themselves out for extermination. This went on for several years, before a scouting party exploring a cleansed planet discovered a hidden treasure the Ankh had been depositing. A new chemical compound, impossible to synthesize or find anywhere else in the Local Groupl, could be found in vast concentrations within Ankh territory on planets they had ravaged.
Merioid (scientifically known as Transferro TriMerioid) was quickly found to be a substance of incredible power. Not only did it seem to be able to actually repair, enhance and even reinvigorate organic material, when harnessed in a specific way, Merioid acted as a source of free energy. Soon, many mining companies tried to set up harvesting colonies on planets rich with Merioid. They were swiftly destroyed or uprooted by the xenophobic Ankh, who's vigilance never wavered in systems they had burned to a crisp. Ever since, mercenaries have been conscripted to exercise harvest-and-run tactics to bring in Merioid to hungry purchasers. As a result, Merioid has become one of the most valuable commodities in the Local Group, able to fetch ridiculous prices on the trans-galactic shipping network. Pirates look for caravans fat with the liquid, and as such, galactic police have been run ragged trying to govern the spike in crime. One force in particular, known as The Warden, has targeted mercenaries in particular, as they see free radicals as a detriment to economy and efficiency. More specifically, they blame the careless mercenaries for the spike in crime. The largest trouble with this is that The Warden is not passive, and destroy mercenary or pirate vessels on sight. They police the fringe of Ankh Territory, looking for independent contractors and Merioid hunters. Certain people have called their pursuit of the mercenaries into question, suggesting that their presence adds more fuel to the already bloody fire, but The Warden have the only ships that can at least fathom going toe to toe with the Ankh. This sector of Andromeda has come to be known as “Merioid Alley.”
In addition to this now burning stretch of space, there have been rumors of a war brewing in the Local Group, as several large government and private militaries have started to become the largest buyers of Merioid across all three galaxies...
