The Vihana Research Files

Phase 1 of our Vihana Research event has officially begun!

Players participating in the event must now consider ways to secure the Kali Warship from Ishvana intrusion or oversight. The next event stage will involve further exploration into the “abandoned” ship and establishing security protocols. Read the in-game summary below for details:

Research Plan: Phase One
// Aug 10, 25 @ Sync 0:00 GMT

The Ishvana threat has grown ever-stronger, its influence perverting the Starmourn sector with underground Facilities run by cruel Overseers and overridden with dangerous creatures called Vihana. I believe our only chance to fight back is to understand how these Vihana are created and to hopefully identify a critical weakness that will enable us to destroy them for good.

Our efforts must begin by securing a lab facility for our research. After reviewing with the assembled spacers interested in joining the crew, we’ve decided to work on securing the abandoned and damaged Kali Warship in neutral space.

As this is a near-destroyed Ishvana vessel, we believe the threat will not be monitoring its own decimated property. Worst case scenario, the aegisphere near it is still semi-active and will destroy it in finality if needed. The warship has already been cleansed of biological threats and contaminants, though this needs to be confirmed upon re-entry as we may find new areas of the ship or new threats, especially as we start attempting to access its systems.

I will work with my shadow network to secure a direct-port wormhole from the Lamentations backroom into the Kali Warship. Note that actually using it will require us to fly in first and place the wormhole’s sibling component, power it, and so forth. If you are not already familiar with your EVO systems, please acquaint yourself with them soon.

We will also need to secure the ship from any conceivable threat. I ask that you all take some time to consider these potential threats and come up with possible solutions. You may post them into the “news” in this commline with peace of mind – We are on an unstructured datastream run through Fray loop-console redirects with an obfuscated encryption that would blow even the most advanced hackers away. In short – We’re secure here.

I will be in touch to coordinate once I feel you’ve all planned out our contingencies thoroughly enough and once I’ve completed my own preparations.

Hope to be in touch soon.
