"*Jiam Quarver, you have suffered a cervical spinal cord injury. In a few moments you will suffocate, unless we intervene. We know you operate this illicit biohacking facility. We also know you manufactured the two subcutaneous nano-lace explosives used by the bombers who destroyed the Star Bridge. Now, what we don't know is the identity of the people who contracted with your lab to have this work done. The device my associate is applying will stimulate your phrenic nerves and allow you to breathe again. The next words you utter will determine if that device remains functioning.*"

## Biography

Kray Dorwin is a military officer serving the Galactic Empire. Following the loss of communications with the Outer Reach, Brother Dusk summoned Dorwin and ordered him to take his team to investigate. Dusk also ordered Dorwin to remind the citizens of Terminus that they needed to remain in better communication with the Empire.

Commanding the *Aegis*, Commander Dorwin arrives at Terminus to find the Anacreons on the verge of attacking Terminus City. He demands to speak to Phara Keaen, but as she is brought to the Foundation Tower, she uses a field disruptor to bring down the settlement's shields. As the Anacreons attack, Dorwin orders the *Aegis* into combat. Approaching Terminus City, the *Aegis* is shot down by a flak cannon manned by the Anacreon soldier, Freestone.

Dorwin survived the crash and was taken prisoner by the Anacreons. Phara Keaen needed him for a mission to recover a fabled Imperial warship, the *Invictus*, and he was conscripted for the task alongside several of the Foundation's specialist engineers. During the voyage to the Anthor Belt, Dorwin attempted to record a message of what had happened since his arrival on Terminus via his neural link, but Phara Keaen interrupted him. The boarding of the *Invictus* went ahead, and Dorwin used his Imperial nanites to allow him to open the airlock of the warship and board the vessel. His usefulness at an end, Phara shot Dorwin and left him adrift in space.

Over a century later, Dorwin's body was found and his attempts to report on the situation came to the attention of Emperor Cleon XVII. They had believed that Dorwin and his ship have been destroyed by a mega-flare that had also wiped out the Foundation on Terminus. Demerzel reviewed intelligence from the Outer Reach that indicated that the Foundation was flourishing and forming an alliance.

Foundation

The **Foundation** was an organisation created by Hari Seldon to safeguard the knowledge of civilization by creating the Encyclopedia Galactica. As Hari had predicted the fall of the Galactic Empire through the study of Psychohistory, he also advocated for the creation of the Foundation, a group whose goal would be to safeguard humanity's knowledge and sciences to allow society to be rebuilt after the fall.

Following the destruction of the Star Bridge, Hari and his followers were exiled to the planet Terminus, where they established a colony and began working on preserving humanity's knowledge.

As time goes by, the Foundation with its assembled scientists were able to not only totally preserve the essentials of humanity's knowledge and sciences from loss, and thus prevent galactic regression into ignorant barbarism, despite aborting development of the Encyclopedia Galactica, but actually advance them to a level that is above the Empire, such as the whisper-ships with its jumpdrive that is capable of executing space jumps without the assistance of Spacers - a technology (or technique) that is not yet achieved by the Empire, potentially attracting itself to become a target of the Empire and other parties within the periphery in the future.

The current director of the Foundation in season 2 is Sef Sermak.

## Worlds

The Foundation was located at the Outer Reach of the galaxy. It's capital was Terminus City located on the world of the same name. As of season 2 there were 7 worlds under the direct influence of the Foundation:

* Anacreon
* Thespis
* Smyrno
* Sayshell
* Konom
* Daribow
* Glyptal IV

The Foundation also maintained some presence all around the Outer Reach, including worlds like Siwenna and Korell.

## Future

From the books of Issac Asimov. The premise for the creation of the Encyclopedia Galactica was not meant to be the primary objective of Hari Seldon's plan. Instead, the assembled scientists, its preserved knowledge and sciences, and the Foundation are destined to form the next galactic hegemon, a successor to the Galactic Empire. With Terminus to act as the new capital of the galaxy after humanity's eventual exit from regression and stagnation.

Aura

Cleon XI wearing an aura to protect him.

An **aura** was a protective shield that could shield an individual from harm by repelling kinetic energy. The Emperors of the Genetic Dynasty wore auras to protect themselves at all times. They were controlled by a device on the wrist, and extended a shield across the entire body. Auras could be breached by slow moving objects, such as fingers with a light touch during intimate moments.

Apart from its primary role as a protective shield, the aura possesses the capability to exert a formidable force, effectively repelling objects in close proximity to its wielder and can be effectively utilized as an offensive weapon.

During the assassination attempt on Emperor Cleon XVII, his aura failed to protect him, allowing a blaster shot to injure his deltoid and a molecular blade to poison him with a nano-toxin. Only Emperors of the Galactic Empire were permitted to wear an aura; however, the Foundation had mastered the technology and reproduced it in great numbers. The members of the Church of the Galactic Spirit used personal auras, and provided them for free to Foundation members throughout the Outer Reach.
