The Maxim Enters The Fray

Expedition

The Maxim of Raazdu, a small nation operating as a science directorate, detects mysterious readings coming from the Fray. In the interest of studying these, they make plans to establish research bases of their own.   The Dominion offers assistance to maintain obscurity.

Knowing full well that the energy signatures the Maxim is detecting are Serene, and also knowing the Maxim was not part of the information quarantine agreement, the Dominion Archivists involve themselves with the Maxim to steer them away from investigating the Starfields. Fabricating data, paying directors off, and even resorting to more cutthroat tactics when the situation calls for it, the Archives guards its project well, all while continuing to fund and encourage the Maxim's search for alien signals.
