---INCOMING TRANSMISSION---
Situation Report: The Deep Dark
Greetings, and welcome to this Galactic Council of Leaders. I would like to start today by reminding you about a popular myth that many people know well on your space-colonies; the Legion of Varanyx. Hundreds of years ago, it is said, there was a feared and respected commander, who had the best fighters and pilots in the entire universe. Wherever his leader would command he take, he would, and it would be taken in fire. None could withstand his might; world after world fell to his home-planet. But one day, he grew tired of what he saw as the pettiness of his leaders, and went rogue; him and his men destroying the great empire that had been built over centuries in one fell swoop. Now, it is said, him and his crew haunt the deepest, darkest regions of space, preying upon anyone they find, and waiting once again for the glory days of destroying empires.
An unlikely tale, surely? Even if the events were to be largely fact, surely all the crew would be dead, too old, or their equipment obsolete? Well, the tale is starting to become popular like never before; people are being gripped by a wave of paranoia.
Some weeks ago, fighter craft went on a routine observation into a completely black magnetic field, unable to detect what was on the other side. They disappeared. A while later, a convoy of large cargo vessels returned to port, after arriving a day late. When they docked, they were found to be empty of cargo... and crew. There were no signs of violence, although one dock-worker did claim to have seen a blaster mark on a wall. It was dismissed; the fate of the ship's crew and contents put down to "unknown causes, likely jumping-ship."
Unconnected events? Perhaps, but when an outer-rim planet affiliated with your peoples went radio-silent, there has been a lot of speculation in the media. People are frightened, and believe that Varanyx and his men have returned to cast-down your space empires. There has been panic on some of the outer-worlds, with limited rioting and civil disorder. The media demands that your governments do something to allay their fears. Some leading scientists have suggested the magnetic field may have soemthing to do with it.
Whatever it is, the government will have a hard time restoring order and convincing people that it is safe.
Leaders, what do you plan to do to?
