[i]No single factor has influenced the tide of galactic history more than geography, whether it be physical, or merely the social layout of the land. Some planets have been more influential than others, but each are unique in their features, their histories, and the way they continually arbitrate the lives of entire civilizations. [/i]

Possessed by a hive mind that controlled all of the planet's bizarre wildlife, Exalin was originally scouted before the Imperial Cold War, where its anomalous creatures and readings were sent back to Calypse. Centuries later, a joint Coalition task force was sent to the planet in order to survey specimens, and to reaffirm the unstable peace between the Dojo, Empire, Sovereignty, and other allied factions. What they couldn't possibly have known, is that another faction had interest in that planet, and in conquering the entire Milky Way using Exalin as their base. The Ignus, then the only member of the Sol Alliance, believed that the Mother Hive Mind was a splinter of Vulcan, their supreme God, and set to work eradicating the native infidels. When the Exalin team discovered them, conflict erupted, and Atlas came to interrupt the fight. What followed, is history. Notable Wildlife: - Boggart - Iter Mantis - Mytven - R'Tok - Gartzod - The Mother/Scythe
