The Mazzaroth Maelstrom is controlled by V'rix forces, who have set up a defensive perimeter around the Shear and especially near the downed Typol Maw. This reporter and his field agent have managed to bypass the V'rix defenses and infiltrate the Maelstrom. What was found inside may change the scope of the war.

Dodging the powerful V'rix inside, we made two discoveries. At the far end of the Maelstrom were three warposts forming a triangle. Each of the three was contributing to a shield around the object in the center which, when scanned, yielded the name "Unborn Mazzaroth Soul." I fired at the warposts, but they were inpervious to my attacks.

I relayed this discovery to my field agent, who conducted his own search of the sector. he led me to a nav named "Mazzaroth Womb." At this spot was a glowing sphere of light with a heart pulsating inside. On opposite sides of the heart were womb feeders which were sending a steady flow of what must be nutrients to the womb.

As citizens of a galaxy at war, several questions must be answered to ensure our safety. Who is Mazzaroth? Why are the V'rix protecting him/her/it, and is Mazzorth himself/herself/itself a V'rix? What risks does Mazzaroth pose? And, most importantly, how much time do we have to act?
