The following LARPs will be on offer at this year's Dragonfire\\\
Saturday evening:\\
'''Founding of Tellas Beta''' by Rolf\\
The Colony Wars between the Dranek Empire and the Human Alliance did
not turn out in the Empire's favour. Although firmly in the driving
seat in the few few battles of the war, they were on the back foot
when the humans found many allies to help in the war effort. Dranek,
however, never surrender. They would have continued fighting for many
years, if it weren't for a huge accident on their homeworld, which
caused a spatial rupture, destroying half their core system.
The Dranek fleet decimated, their leadership wiped out, they had no
choice but to surrender. A new Dranek leadership took it upon
themselves to give their race a new start, and became more open,
starting trade with other alien governments. The enigmatic Ayos, a
relatively new race in interstellar politics, despite allying with the
humans during the Colony Wars, were still largely a mystery.
They worship a race called the Ancients, a powerful space faring
civilization that once controlled the whole galaxy, that mysteriously
disappeared eons ago. They left ruins all around the galaxy, although
ruins is perhaps the wrong word. While certainly abandoned, they are
in perfect condition, which makes the Ancients disappearance all the
stranger. They have many gods and preach of the "Way to Kalivas", the
virtuous path that will lead them to their homeworld.
The Ancient homeworld was discovered about a thousand years ago by an
emotionless and scientifically minded race called the Taynen. They
would have investigated closer, but the planet was guarded by massive
planetary defence turrets and shields. While it has been studied
heavily from far, no one has yet been able to get to the surface. The
Taynen Order were mostly neutral during the war, selling technology
to whoever could provide something useful in exchange. The accident in
the Dranek core system is of great interest to them, and they have
been petitioning the Dranek empire for permission to conduct
extensive research in the area.
The second space station built in the honour of the Ayos hero Tellas,
has just been completed, and the Ayos Illuminate has invited
representatives of all the major alien races to come celebrate this
auspicious occasion with them. A chance to meet up and talk to
representatives of the other alien races is a chance too good to pass
up.\\\
Sunday evening:\\
'''Hungover in the Hyades''' by Simon and Adrianna
