———————————————————————–

The Nexus Project. Without question, this is the most significant scientific endeavor in galactic history, representing the penultimate achievement of the Eldan intellect. If indeed we reach our final goal, then the fate of our people, even that of the universe itself, will be irrevocably changed. The data generated by the Project will be vast and invaluable, and it is within the Elder Cube that all of our secrets here on Nexus will be contained.

Galactic Explorer’s Handbook
Seventy-Third Edition; Dominion Press, 1654 AE

Chapter One: An Introduction to First Contact Protocols

For the galactic explorer, being the first individual to make contact with an alien species can be a most exciting endeavor. Indigenous beings should be treated with care until their level of sentience can be determined. If sentient, their culture must also be considered. Seemingly innocuous
actions on the part of the explorer can trigger dire consequences, brought on by the unwitting violation of alien taboos and customs.

Many galactic explorers have fallen prey to alien cultures through no great fault of their own. Invitations by such creatures, though seemingly friendly, must be considered carefully before the galactic explorer accepts them at face value. More than one extraterrestrial invitation to dinner has resulted in a galactic explorer being roasted, stewed alive, or eaten raw for
the pleasure of his hosts. It is your duty to tread carefully in such circumstances, lest you become a statistic.

Even non-sentient creatures can appear to possess some form of self-awareness and intellect. It cannot be stressed enough that speech and actions alone on the part of an alien creature cannot prove out its intelligence. Unless its sentience can be ascertained beyond a reasonable doubt, no alien species is entitled to rights under the Galactic Explorer’s Charter of 1438 AE. As such, they can
be displaced, relocated, or simply removed by any means necessary at the emperor’s whim.

At the end of the day, the galactic explorer must remember that his purpose is to serve the Cassian Empire in all things. To stake claim to a stellar body – be it an asteroid, a moon, or a planet – is to assign ownership of it to the emperor himself. Personal ownership and accomplishment, though hard-won by the successful galactic explorer, are the Emperor’s alone to mete out. Remain humble and loyal in your
travels, and understand that you are merely one small part of a larger whole.

Hey there, action, adventure, comedy, romance, adventure, action, fun, and adventure fans! This is the Editor. Who am I? Don’t ask so many questions. Because you’re holding a copy of the most action-adventurous periodical in the known galaxy:

TALES FROM BEYOND THE FRINGE!

You have been selected to take advantage of a suspiciously good offer – a free subscription to TFBTF locked to your personal datachron! The only catch? As part of the Nexus Challenge Subscription Program, you’ll get to collect the
keys to unlock each issue yourself! Here’s how it works:

1. In every region of Nexus, you’ll find datapads containing a piece of an exciting Tales from Beyond the Fringe story. Each piece of the TFBTF file forms a part of the decryption code for that story. This complimentary issue is unlocked by three keys, but full issues may require seven or more!

2. Collect all of the available keys in that region to unlock that issue of TALES FROM BEYOND THE FRINGE! (You can keep track of how many keys you’ve
unlocked by checking the handy “Lore” tab of your standard-issue datachron device.)

3. Once they’re unlocked, your issues of TFBTF will be available on your datachron for you to read and reference whenever you like!

4. Having trouble finding all of the keys? That’s why the subscription is free! Well, that, and I like sticking it to the suits at my corporate publisher. So readers are encouraged to discuss and share the locations of TFBTF keys so that everyone can enjoy the thrilling narratives that
make up every issue of this spectacularly popular publication.

WARNING: Many TFBTF fans have contacted the Editor concerning the “journals” which you may find scattered across the surface of the planet Nexus and elsewhere. Please note that although these journals may superficially resemble TALES FROM BEYOND THE FRINGE! components in some cases, they are not the same! TALES FROM BEYOND THE FRINGE! is not responsible for any mental or physical trauma that may result from you reading journals that do not
belong to you, nor can we offer refunds for things you found just lying around. For that matter, there can be no refunds for this complimentary subscription to TALES FROM BEYOND THE FRINGE! as you cannot refund a total cost of zero.

So thanks for reading, everyone. We’ll see you…BEYOND THE FRINGE!

(This complimentary introductory issue has been produced in accordance with Dominion legal code, with the official approval of the emperor, his ministers, and his governors. Scions save Myrcalus!)
