Prisoner of the Endless



You have found a strange anomaly orbiting a nearby star. The device is ancient, yet it is still active. The energy of the star has been powering what has clearly been a prison cell for an unknown being. Why it was imprisoned and whoever did it are long forgotten, but the being is held in stasis by a machine that also continually feeds it a steady supply of dust. The being held in the prison cell is a complete unknown, but the prison cell itself is one of the most complex machines your race has ever encountered. Your society has so many questions!

Double-Edged



When looking into experimental medical laser technology, one of your scientists created a stable beam of energy that could be held by hand for an indefinite period of time when it was turned on. She then modified the primer and grip to resemble that of a sword hilt. One of her colleagues saw her invention and immediately wanted one for himself. When both were finished the two scientists had to have a "laser sword fight." Unfortunately the new swords were as deadly and dangerous as they were aesthetically pleasing and one of the scientists lost their lives in the ensuing duel. Despite the dangers of the invention, everyone who sees one must have one. And thus, the laser sword* took the planet by storm (*Telekenetic Powers not included)

Election Cycle



A refugee and its entourage have stumbled into your territory. Boarding the ship, the refugee asks for asylum in your society. When you ask why the being seeks asylum, the refugee tells a fantastical story. It claims that it comes from a society ruled by a pure democracy of enlightened values. The creature ran for the highest elected office in their society, and won the popular vote by millions and millions of voters. However despite winning the majority vote, their system uses an archaic "point system" from long ago to actually determine the winner. The opponent received more points despite losing more votes. After the election, the winning candidate sought to have the loser assassinated because, well, the loser was more popular. Thus, the refugee seeks asylum in your Empire.
