It has come to our attention that our space is being surveilled by a faction of humans believed to be an offshoot from pre-Diaspora Earth. This surveillance is being undertaken in both Realspace and Infinispace. Points of attempted entry in either case are unknown at this time. The purpose of the the intrusion is also unknown, but all branches of the TriocracyWhen the entirety of Earth was plunged into literal darkness and chaos in the years following the Cold Boot, humanity reverted to its most base form ... survival of the fittest and strongest. The near... More agree that it is likely for malevolent purposes as this faction has not yet chosen a form of direct contact. We further believe that this surveillance is in preparation for setting up a beachhead for a future physical or virtual incursion.

It’s unknown if the gear worn in the image is part of some combat configuration or part of their biology, specifically the hardware surrounding the head.

I’m confused about what’s going on but i’m intrigued. Is this part of a game>?
These background stories about the Vek make me want to know more. On a technical side note, I love the dossier box. It’s a great use of an animated background. I really like your new site design. It is clean and easy to read. The white background really makes the images pop.
