>upload Migdol, Historical Background.doc
As a noble and member of the Security Police loyal to Rygel the 16th, Migdol's
graduation assignment was to spy on Rygel's brother on Hyneria Reborn. Having
completed his assignment he made it off world heading back to the Hynerian
Homeworld when he was intercepted by the PeaceKeepers. At first he was simply
imprisoned and left to wonder what was going on when finally it became clear as
he watched a holographic display as Rygel's cousin Bishan began his ascendancy
speech.
Time passed and being young and not established as a known personage in the
Royal court, it was thought that Migdol could be reformed having no real loyalty
to Rygel. Finally "good behavior" made the new regime decide to repatriate
Migdol from PeaceKeeper authority. He was made to swear oaths and sign forms
indicating he would never take up arms against the rightful ruler of Hyneria.
Of course he knew the text referred to Bishan the Usurper, but he simply played
along. Then he was allowed to move freely and finally reunited with family and
friends.
Of course the fall of Dominar Rygel XVI left the royal guard and others exiled,
forced to run into hiding in an attempt to regroup and take back the throne from
the usurper. For Awhile, Migdol did what was expected, but secretly he was
helping form cells and other clandestine activities.
Migdol's commanding officer, Vicaran, sent him to a trading colony, The Wheel,
near the far edge of the Uncharted Territories. One of Vicaran's contacts, a
Sebacean trader by the name of Chool, had arms to sell. Migdol was to meet
Chool, examine the arms and authorize the money transfer, (with the password
Ouroboros).
The reason for obtaining weapons from such a remote place is that Chool claims
to have "intelligent" weapons, that he calls Ares Shells. Chool has never let
Vicaran down, so he is intrigued enough to send Migdol to meet him. Migdol
managed to arrive at The Wheel, the typical hive of scum and villainy. After
contacting Chool, Migdol woke up in the stasis pod with a bunch of yahoos.
