"When the Dnyarri took control over the Milieu, one race fought back-- the Taalo. These slow, quiet creatures were silicon-based life forms...but bore little resemblance to the modern Chenjesu. The Taalo were natural immunes to the Dnyarri's psychic compulsion; they were unaffected by the creatures' power...and the Dnyarri would not allow anyone to exist outside their control...so they ordered the remaining races of the Milieu to attack and destroy the Taalo home planet. This planet was one of the few Milieu worlds located in this region of space. I believe you call their star Delta Vulpeculae. Their home was a moon revolving about the second planet. I am sad to say that the Taalo were, indeed, eliminated. However, at the time of their devastation they had completed a device...which they thought would give other races psychic immunity like their own. What happened to this device, this shield? It's hard to say. Maybe it was destroyed in the attack on their homeworld, maybe not. Your present balance is 375 credits."
