Subject: Discovery of a Terran treasure hoard on a barbarian moon
The galaxy is abuzz with news of the latest find by one of the Galactic Institute of Historical Preservation’s expedition ships. A team from the Magellan has discovered an ancient Terran shipwreck on an ice moon of the barbarian world of Markaria, just beyond the galaxy’s edge.
Reports say the hoard is packed full of Terran artifacts—including a magnificent collection of ancient weapons from old Earth.
Director Niklas Phoenix gave a brief statement on the find and says while the bulk of the artifacts will stay on Markaria, the Markarian leaders are allowing a selection of the artifacts to be exhibited and studied at Institute museums across the galaxy.
“Credit for the find must go to Institute security agent, Agent Honor Brandall and her Markarian escort, Warrior Mal Kor,” Director Phoenix told the GBC. “They both risked their lives to find and secure the wreck of the Valhalla and her cargo.”
When probed about rumors that space pirates tried to steal the treasure, the director was less forthcoming. All he would add is that the Institute, and Markaria’s warriors, would protect any and all pieces of history found in Markarian space.
The final report regarding the hoard is that Warrior Mal Kor and Agent Brandall have been joined in a Markarian bonding ceremony. It appears the Markarians are finding many benefits to being connected with the rest of the galaxy.
Stay tuned to GBC for more updates on Markarian space and for the first in breaking galaxy news.
