the swarm tamer

The report came from somewhere in Oonu Sector, in one of the systems neighboring the Ring. Data packet was damaged so that's all we know.

Group of Pilgrims from one of the last groups that went to chase the Secondary Vectors. That's also interesting, because it seems that they were intercepted by the Xenophobic Drones - maybe their Prophet was wrong about the directions of the travel?

Their ships were damaged or destroyed. The ones who survived managed to hide in the old orbital station (orbiting what planet?). It had a small population - few dozens of wretched descendants of survivors of the Last Corporate War.

Then, the droneships returned. But one of the station's denizens came forward. He raised his hands and started mumbling silently.

The Xenophobes didn't attack. Instead, their entire swarm started circling around the station. And after about an hour, they left.

We don't know the person's name, we don't know the planet's name, we don't know anything.

But it wasn't the only time someone managed to somehow influence or outright control the Xenophobic Droneships (DATA EXPUNGED).
