This is an old revision of the document!


The main Exodus of b-Exagora took place in 654PE. This expedition took 1500 prisoners on their journey towards Tel space, but also left 600 prisoners behind on the planet. These prisoners were predominantly of the Nexus and Creed factions. It appeared that both factions had plans for the further development of b-Exagora.

Of course with the eternal rivalry that existed between the Creed and Nexus at the time, many anticipated a swift and brutal war to settle all grudges. However the months following the departure of supply ship 6-0-SPD bore witness to a tense ceasefire of sorts between factions. The reasons for the truce were threefold.

Firstly the collars themselves still prevented out and out violence between the prisoners. Although some prisoners enjoyed the calm this offered, many others desperately searched the guard quarters of the prison facility for the collar keys. They were never found.

Secondly there was still the mutual threat of the bioweapon hanging over the heads of all. These prisoners did not have the advantage of relativistic travel that the passengers of the 6-0-SPD had and so have the advantage of relativistic travel that the passengers of the 6-0-SPD had and so had to start their cure from scratch. Researchers from both sides, including Darren Swift, collaborated in order to get a cure working as soon as possible. There was an understanding that researchers of both sides were not to be involved in the conflict.

The third factor was distance. The Creed took control of the main prison and the surrounding farmland whereas the Nexus took control of the scattered Science Stations, predominantly Station Blue. This separation was key to relieving tensions.

These factors did not manage to stop all deaths. The prisoners quickly became adept at laying traps in each other’s territory. At one point a substantial chunk of Nexus cybernetics took on critical faults due to the viral legacy of the prisoner Jan Beno of the Creed.

The conflict such as it was came to a head at an abandoned hydrolysis plant near Station Blue. Leaders Aina and Magnus were having a meeting on site to determine the use of the plant. The results of the discussion are unknown as a trap laid by one of the factions managed to blow up the entire plant, killing the leaders and their closest followers.

This left room for the more moderate prisoners remaining in both factions such as Lyla Mayweather to negotiate a lasting peace.
