I said I wouldn't post yet, but things have gone to hell in a handbasket so I feel its important to get a snapshot of the Fazrah before they die
Alzene's Log
----------
They are everywhere. Agents of the Norak or some coalition of forces opposing us. They have infiltrated us everywhere, so that we may no longer trust those who we had trusted before. We were united at Homeworld, and Knoglam, and unity is a rare thing for our people. Our enemies, though they remain hidden, have used our unity against us.
I have never been a warrior, but the events of the Last month have me wanting Norak blood. Whatever dark, evil magic they used to infiltrate and manipulate us so well, it is driving us all to the point of insanity.
The Grand Lord said that we must rendevous our Homeworld fleet with the Sallegans. This was stupid, as the homeworld would be defenseless. Many opposed this, but our mistaken unity lead to its acceptance.
Fools we were. Most of us now believe this newest Grand Lord, the mining lord I've discussed, is an agent within the Norak or other enemy state.
Whatever diabolical plot is in motion, they have captured the loyalty of the CueCappa, who were completely loyal to us, but suddenly we discover they are now a hostile threat to us. And they have forces deep in the bowels of Fazrah space.
This dark alliance is likely to see the joining of Praetorian ships soon, as we are weaker than can be believed.
Dealing with the Mining Lord agent, we put one of our own men on homeworld, and that scoundrel of a Norak agent has been executed. Our only unity will occur through dispersal. We have no fleets today, only ships acting on their own ideas, and a very rough idea of what we need to do. We declared war on the vile agents of the Norak, and whatever dark magic they have found, shall be destroyed. Even as we perish we shall take what we can of the Norak, with us.
The Sallegans, though they were great allies, are a mystery to us. They told us to worry about the Praetorians. The Norak have been our undoing. We should have struck the Norak from the first agent we captured. Perhaps the Sallegans will join us, or perhaps they will see their easiest way out, which is to help destroy us.
Like many times in our past, we once again face extinction. We shall not present one target, but many.
