"Player, it is under very dire circumstances that I must tell you this!" says Xenocrates 3000.
"It seems someone has finally opened the gateway to the galaxies of the universe's mortal enemy, the Zebra Armada! Those who opened the path have no idea of what they have done, none at all."
Xenocrates 3000 starts pacing about the room frantically.
"This does not bode well for any of the inhabitants of the entire universe!"
Xenocrates 3000 stops and looks in your direction, obviously sensing your puzzlement.
"You do not know of the Zebra Armada?! I suppose you would not, they were sealed away long ago, and much of what we knew about them was lost. Perhaps I should enlighten you and explain the dangerous ramifications of opening the gate, ones that could lead to the destruction of all other civilized life in the universe!"
Xenocrates 3000 begins pacing again, this time even faster.
"Before I tell you this, I want to make sure you understand the harsh reality of the situation ... and now that I think of it, this is the perfect oppertunity to have a Field Researcher collect data on the Zebra Armada. The information in our databanks is quite dated. We will need new strategies to combat this dastardly foe!"
Xenocrates 3000 quickly walks over to you, grabs your shoulders and looks you in the eyes.
"Player, you must enter the Zebra territories, the universe is in desperate need!"

"Judging from the energy burns and blast marks, I can see you finally met the Zebra Armada... the Zaphragi are a very fearsome race indeed, are they not?"
"Now I am sure you understand why we had to lock them away so long ago... If only the portal to their realm had not been opened!"
Xenocrates 3000 walks over to a computer console in the room.
"While you were engaging the Zebra Armada, I contacted the Paxians, Earthforce, and even the Merchant's Guild to make them aware of the situation."
"Obviously we have a threat that is even greater than that of the murderous UrQa. They have been mainly dormant in recent years, but I assure you, the Zebra Armada will not... "
He calls you over to the computer console and begins searching the Lyceum data-archive.
"Rhak'kai ... Shofixti ... Ah! Here we go, the Zaphragi. As you can see the data we have collected on them is extremely dated and extremely limited, by our standards at least. After their last invasion it was of paramount importance that we contain them, so there was very little time for research."
"You see, the Zaphragi are a humanoid marsupial race with a very low maturation time, and a strong desire to mate. Due to this fact, they are in a perpetual state of population expansion. They use up the resources of a planet in excess of fifty times that of a normal humanoid species! Eventually during the youth of their race, they used up most of the resources on their homeworld, they could no longer support their population. They began to slowly die of starvation, disease and overcrowding. It was then a strong military government took control and began the reckless Zaphragi expansionism! Before long, all the worlds that had contact with the Zaphragi were conquered and colonized, their native populations massacred! It took only a few years before they had settled on every habitable planet in their sector. Even with this newfound territory, the Zebra Armada realized that they needed even more planets to sustain their population which was already in the hundreds of billions, it was then they found the wormhole that led to our sector of space."
"You can only imagine the war that ensued, and the eventual Zaphragi defeat which led to them being imprisioned in their own sector of space! We must defeat them again, or they will attempt to conquer us all! I will offer what help I may, and I have received word that Earthforce and Paxius will help as well."
"The Zebra Armada and the Zaphragi must and will be stopped!"
