Hivestrike Initiative Manifesto

Lore

[This document appears to detail part of the Hivestrike Initiative’s plans to destroy Protostar operations and Dominion facilities that produce honey from buzzbings before invading northeastern Auroria in the ensuing carnage.]

Hivestrikers, we approach a significant milestone today. Our homes are far away, but we have a new home now, a new world filled with vibrant life of all kinds. It is not Arboria, but what world ever could be? And so as we fought for our old homeworld, we will fight for this new on
e.

Our first target must be the buzzbing facilities in Auroria. Auroria keeps a lot of Dommies fed, but the buzzbing hives are the tasty jewel that makes this place not just a breadbasket, but a profit center. Protostar’s making money. So is the Dommie war machine. And meanwhile, the buzzbings are unwitting pawns in the whole scheme, gigantic pawns that aren’t too bright, can fly, and have stingers that can impale an Aurin, by the way, so keep your wits about you. But they’re just doing what buzzbing
s do. Protostar and the Dommies, though? They need to get stung. And we’re the stingers.

Taking out those honey facilities – or better yet, breaking them just enough to let the buzzbings go wild – is the best way to do it. There aren’t that many of us in the Hivestrike Initiative, so we need to take advantage of what allies we can find. In this case, our allies are giant, deadly bees. But our matria promises that they will not harm us if we do not harm them. She says she has communed with the buzzbing
queen, and –

To the Citizens of Gildgrass

Lore

Citizens of Gildgrass Province,

Today is a wonderful day to serve the Dominion, is it not? For that is what we citizens do, from the highest of the highborn families to the lowest of lowborn wretches – no offense, lowborn wretches. We serve the Dominion, and that means we serve our emperor.

It has come to my attention, however, that not all of the lowborn citizens of Gildgrass are holding the needs of their empire above their own. This, simply put, will not do! Therefore, I am issuing a provincial
directive to all citizens to do their part in the coming conflict with the Exile interlopers! Whether you are a trained combatant, a loyal soldier, or an eager volunteer, the Dominion requires all citizens to stand up and do their duty against the traitors!

Of course, I don’t need to remind any of you that paramount to your duty is the protection and survival of the highborn – the soul and heart of the Dominion. Did not the Eldan themselves choose the Cassians to carry on their legacy? And did they not
choose the highborn among us to carry on their very genes?

The answers are yes and yes, in case you were curious.

Once again, I call upon all Dominion citizens, but especially the lowborn, to do everything in their power to fight back and protect the highborn!

– Lord Syrus

“Who’s Crazy Now?” by Clugg the Crazed

Lore

I chop ’em in their bloody heads
Chop ’em up until they’re dead
Rot and ruin, moldy bread!
NOW WHO’S CRAZY?

I shoot ’em in the bloody face
Drop ’em into outer space
Death and devils, set the pace!
NOW WHO’S CRAZY?

I gut ’em with a rusty knife
Make ’em plead to save their life
Me? Why I’m the LORD OF STRIFE!
NOW WHO’S CRAZY, YOU BASTARDS?! CALL ME CRAZY? I WILL END YOU! GRAAAAAAAARH!

[The rest of this handwritten poem descends into rambling and threats that will probably work better as a musical holo-film. And yes, he did write out “GRAAAAAAAARH!”]

Administrator Tyson’s Log

Lore

Expedition Day 002
This facility has proven to be even more extensive than I’d originally hoped. This will be quite a boon to my fellow Exiles, I have no doubt. When I left the Dominion to join their cause, I was hesitant. I suspected they merely wanted to extract the secrets of the Collegium from me – suspicion born of years in the service of the emperor’s minions. But after the atrocities I’d witnessed on Arboria, I’d had enough. They call me an Exile now, and so I am. Perhaps the treasures of this
facility will prove my loyalty in a way mere words cannot.

Expedition Day 005
A scientist lives for discoveries such as this! Today, my team found a truly wondrous Eldan machine. We are not yet certain how it functions, but its purpose appears to be simple – the technological modification and, more importantly, the improvement of living beings. If such a machine could be brought back to the Thayd, or even the Gambler’s Ruin, this technology could transform the Exiles themselves into a true
galactic power. The Dominion would not stand a chance against us!

Expedition Day 008
Final report. I have seen the true way forward. It is not the way of the emperor, nor the way of the Exiles. I know now what I must do. I know now who must die. And die they shall. Let this report be the final record of this expedition. If any should find and read it, know this – you too shall suffer the fate of all who trespass here. The will of the ancient masters of this place cannot be denied.
