Rumors of 131

[unseenshadow2]

Here are the common rumors that can be heard in bars around the Galaxy:

• Ship Forge - The Ship Forge is said to be an ancient factory built by the makers of the original Jumpgates. The most common version of the Ship Forge can produce entire fleets per hour, with dreadnought class vessels in the fleets. It is believed to be at the center of the Galaxy.
• The Captured ACAAI - Among human space there is a rumor that the military has captured an escaped ACAAI. To most other species, they deny that something like this could happen, but admit that if it was true it would likely give humans a strong advantage in control of 131.
• Raqui Special Forces - While most militaries of the Raqui are local to only a planet or system, a rumor persists that their is a group of the Raqui that tracks all the best militants of the Raqui and recruits them into a special forces group that rivals advanced Ral'nor strike teams in capability. Most people deny that such a peaceful race could ever have such a powerful military branch, but most who believe in them reference several successful and unexplained attacks on major Ral'nor shipyards and human communication structures.
• The New Gates - While most people accept that the species of 131 are not capable of recreating the jumpgates that connect so many systems and galaxies, there are those that believe that the ACAAI have managed to develop working prototypes. The stronger believers of this rumor state that these reverse engineered gates are more than a single pair and that the ACAAI have already begun a pair of gates more advanced than what already dot the known universe.
• The Darkspace Hivemind - While the most common explanation as to why no one has found the ACAAIs' core is that it is simply out farther in ACAAI space than anyone is willing to risk, there are those that believe that their is a different reason for this. Two main rumors/theories exist to explain where the core is: It exists out in dark space constantly being pulled farther by at least one ACAAI and that the core exists in a pocket dimension that the ACAAI learned to create by studying the jumpgates.
