Act 1: Intro, friend

Act 2: Finding clues to the uw, ancient text

Mission 1:

A normal day it seems drastically changed soon after a call came in from one of the planets in your inner most system. Report has it that a building crew suspects that they have unearth ancient ruins after doing a normal routine infrastructure upgrading in a commercial area on the planet. The local archeological department was called in to conduct study to evaluate the site. 

After several days of digging the archeological department confirms that it is indeed some form of ancient ruins found at the site. For security purposes first of all you will need to compensate those who already have a presence on the planet and relocate everyone else to other planets.

Mission requirements : x credits

By completely taking over the entire planet you can be certain that the site will be secured from local citizens.

Mission 2:

After several weeks of study, your local archeological concluded their find. The ruin seems to be a structure of some kind. Carbon testing concluded that the structure is in the times near the end of the Kalzul era. The Kalzul race, an ancient alien race is supposedly to have ruled the universe eons ago. The Kalzul rule ended briefly and as mysteriously as during their reign. Although there is many speculated theories on how this could have happened however no concrete prove was ever found to support any of this theories. 

A famous archeologist named Dr Alphonse who specializes in archeology for this time came in highly recommended by the archeological department. At first the Dr Alphonse was reluctant to join our cause as he is currently working on some project. However we manage to convince him to join after offering some assistant to provide enough resources for a speedy finish of his project. 

Word of this amazing discovery somehow manages to get out, spreading throughout the nearby systems.

Mission requirements : x terran metal, x strafez organism

Mission 3:
 
As the word spreads like wildfire across your neighboring empires, your military advisors strongly urge you to build up your military presence to ensure security of the site. 

Mission requirements : x power rating

Mission 4:

Great news, a pyramid shaped object found in the structure contains some Kalzul text. Although the pyramid is damaged slightly due to age, this text may shed some light on many unanswered questions. To translate the text, Dr Alphonse requires specific materials.

Mission requirements : x ore, x raw material

The translated text:
Today, fourth day* 892 rotations, we lost contact with our military base in the neighboring Orion System. Warning beacon gamma activated, expect reinforcements to reach within three days*. Level 2 alert activated, evacuation of all non-essential crew will commence. 
Note: day* is based on Kalzul`s representation of day and can differ from the Terran`s use of Day.

Only a small portion of the text could be salvaged from the pyramid. It seems that the pyramid is similar to a blackbox, method of storing occurrences or log file. Now the good news is that from the translation, we can figure out the coordinate and the location of the mentioned military base.

This structure as Dr Alphonse found out is of great importance; so much that it entitles a military base erected for protection. With the indication of a military base clearly shows that there is some form of military threat against the Kalzul race, could it be against rebellion or even an unknown race ? As far as we know there is no indication of presence of another alien race other than the Kalzul during this era, so this gives us more questions than answers, like who is the Kalzul trying to protect themselves against ? Are they at war ? Further discoveries from the military site may give us more clues.

Act 2: Origins of the clues, kalzul

Mission 5:

Limited history about the Kalzuls. 
There have been several Kalzul findings spreading through out the universe, mainly ancient ruins which so far provided limited history about the ancient race. What we know is that the Kalzul once rule most of the universe if not all. Due to the vast length of time, all the ruins are in pretty bad condition can tell little of what went on during that time or what purpose they serve. Several Kalzul ships wrecks found indicate that they have superior technology in respects of space ships and space travel. No clear evidence shows the beginning on the Kalzul or why the Kalzul mysteriously disappeared during the end of the Kalzul era. 

To ensure this system falls into your empire, you must increase your empire size.
