## Achmedius II

## Achmedius III

Achmedius III is the Planet, where the main story starts in the **Aznari Ruins**.

## Achmedius Trade Port

The Achmedius Trade Port is one of the first locations, which has to be visited. Dr. Jensen and Dr. Rhamus have to be brought here to get to the shuttle, which brings them to their primary research station.

Like on all stations, recruits and vendors can be found here. However, it's the only station, where level 1 **weapons** can be purchased at any time. This is useful, if players want to train a new weapon type and don't want to or can't **craft** a level 1 weapon.

Mission givers:

* Zabin
* Forley Coresh

### Zabin Morbain

Zabin offers a mission. He explains, that several hundred years ago, on Achmedius VIII, a research station was commissioned by Halamis Corporation in cooperation with the renown Garrius Brons, inventor of the **FTL drive**. The research facility was lost when a massive energy rift tore across a large part of the planet. Halamis Corporation searched the area for years and never found a trace of the facility... until several hundred years ago when Martin Varus crash-landed on the planet. He found the facility in pristine condition as if not a year had passed, everything intact and functioning. He searched the facility for years, scrapping parts and gathering data that he sold to Halamis. That is until one day, just as mysteriously as it had reappeared, it disappeared again, taking Martin Varus and his team along with it. Just a few days ago, sensors on the planet's surface triggered communication to Halamis Corporation. The facility is back. Halamis sent Zabin here to investigate. He's been given complete authority to research the facility for as long as it's present. He's set up a research base in a small cave on the surface of Achmedius VIII. He'd like to hire the player to enter the facility and report on its status, bring back artifacts and gather data. It will be dangerous work, and he is prepared to pay well.

### Forley Coresh

Forley Coresh offers a mission, which will unlock **contraband** in the **Trade-Net**. But first you have to answer some questions on your attitude towards law. However, the questions can be answered again at any time, so there's no risk to miss this mission.

## Achmedius VIII

The mysterious research facility is located here. It's basically a mission generator with infinite missions. The missions earn Credits, faction relationship towards Halamis, equipment and Halamis **Tokens**. The tokens can be used to buy **Halamis faction armor**.

There is a staging area with a faction agent (Zabin Morbain), a faction vendor and a merchant. So basic equipment (like **medkits, grenades** and ammunition) can be bought here. You can reload a save from the staging area as often as you want to get the things from the vendors you need/want, because the items in stock of vendors are random with each reload. This applies to each vendor anywhere in the game.

   Zabin Morbain has missions, which can be chosen as long, medium and short missions. This affects the number of areas, which are in a mission, as well as the rewards, i.e. amount of tokens and Credits, **faction** relationship gain and equipment rewards.

When a mission is selected, the portal can be used to enter the mission. The **Halamis Quantum Translocator** can be bought at the faction vendor for free. This device can be used to leave the mission at any time to get back to the staging area. However, this costs one Energy Cell.

Zabin has infinite missions.

## Hurzog Mining

Hurzog Mining is a station owned by Scarby Hurzog. Scarby Hurzog may know where you can find an **FTL drive** for your starter **ship**. However, when it comes to Scarby, there is always a catch or a favor that needs to be done! In this case, it's a problem with a mine on Achmedius II.

On the Station, a merchant can be found.
