In the Beginning

During a party on Centheese, tragedy strikes. Exodus, Clacis, and Warpstar are discussing plans when someone unknown walks in and asks if they have heard the name "Xelph". Warpstar responds with a "No sir, sorry." The person gruntes and walks away. Another figure is sighted in an off-limits areal but the three don't think much of it. Clacis as scheduled makes an announcement to the UGF council members, shortly into the speech Clacis gets blasted by an unknown person, although he survives the shot, he unfortunately gets knocked back and out the window from the the energy from the blaster -- Clacis falls fo his death.

The council are in the panic, and many of them flee, all but one member, unable to take it anymore, throws themself out the window. Exodus and Warpstar are shocked by the death of a lead council member AND a friend, they flee to Naerlac-77 in fear of following the fate of Clacis.
