The Mystery of Eridi Shex

The Heroes Act and Lodgers are called to the Eridyd System where the President of Eridiom has claimed some rumors of a survivor escaping from the dormant planet of Eridi Shex, which was a thriving world until it's entire population disappeared one day. This survivor explains that the entire population was put into slavery beneath the planet's surface by a race of tribal insectoids called the Shex'ii, which was undocumented for eons, but when clues point to the Ehswans, their leader explains that the Shex'ii were one of their 'biggest mistakes', as they used to share an alliance until the Shex'ii wanted to trade technology. But because it was illegal, they refused, even with the crises the race suffered with limited technology. When the Shex'ii responded by attempting to steal the technology they needed, the alliance was destroyed and the two went to war resulting in the Shex'ii being regressed to Teadr 7 levels, causing the Ehswans to ban fraternizing with low-Teadr beings, which was one of the seeds that caused the AUU Second Cartoonian War. With the relationship between the Ehswans and Yatorans compromised again, the race is on to free the slaves, and restore the Shex'ii back to their former glory.
