Mission to Nathema

Shortly after the Grand Festival of Empress Vaylin, the Alliance Commander departed with Theron Shan and Lana Beniko on a mission to stop the Eternal Empire rules from breaking her mental conditioning on a forsaken world of Nathema. Theron piloted the shuttle to Nathema system and dropped Lana and the Commander near the Sanitarium, the only structure still signs of life on the planet devastated in the Ritual of Nathema. The Commander and Lana dispatched the Horizon Guards that guarded the entrance and ventured inside, where they learned details about Vaylin's conditioning from the holorecordings left by Anomid scientist Jarak. However, they arrived too late to stop Vaylin, who was subjected by Jarak to the ritual that went out of control, with Vaylin's power vaporizing those in her vicinity. Jarak fled to save his life and came upon Lana and the Commander, offering to lead them to a place where they could take shelter from the energy blasts. Working together, they reached the Immortal Emperor's Vault, where Valkorion stored artifacts even he deemed to dangerous, and barely managed to get inside in time. With the power circuits fried, Beniko and the Commander went to activate the backup power generator, while Jarak was killed by a vault guardian. Inside the vault, the Commander and Lana made an important discovery of Dramath's holocron housing the essence of Valkorion's father Dramath, who told them that the holocron held the power to destroy Vitiate once and for all. Taking the holocron with them and unlocking the door, the two learned from Theron that Vaylin has already left the planet's surface and that the Sanitarium now threatened to collapse. The Commander and Lana rushed outside where Theron picked them up, but before they could rest, they learned from Bey'wan Aygo that Vaylin launched an assault on Odessen.
