KyleWilliam Brennan arrived in the X universe in his experimental gateless jump ship. Kylebecame instrumental in the attack on the Xenon mother ship, almost bringing the Xenon raceto extinction. His heroic deeds were recognised by the naming of the sector Brennan’sTriumph.By 2913, Kyle’s well-earned Credits allowed him to create Terracorp as an extension ofhimself to finance his research and find a way home to earth. In the year of 2934, while hewas deeply involved in the tracing of the AP Gunner, he learned about his long lost son, thenknown as Julian Gardna. Both of their lives then became entangled with the threat of theKha’ak and the destructive forces inflicted by them. This resulted in Kyle ending up in a comaand Julian Brennan coming to terms with the fact that his valiant role in stopping the Kha’akthreat came with a heavy price, the heroic self-sacrifice made by his closest friend Bret Serra.Over the last two Jazuras, as a response to the continuing Kha’ak attacks, all the races in theuniverse have heavily invested in new technologies, while replacing their ships and rebuildingtheir stations. There has also been the additional benefit of a newfound cooperation betweensome of the races’ scientists, producing greatly enhanced shield and missile innovations.Many shipbuilders, now under new pressures never faced since the Xenon war, have awokenfrom a developmental slumber to produce stunning new ship designs.20As the universe approaches the end of 2935, Julian, having lost all of his factories and mostof his ships to the Kha’ak, now has to consider Ban Danna’s request for help again. Manymysteries begin to unfold when a reunion with an old friend takes Julian on a journey ofdiscovery, which links a mysterious ship with the power to disappear, the ruthless Yaki piratesand a machine left by an ancient race. The fate of more than the known universe relies on theultimate discovery of the truth by Julian, with all the fighting skills and the strategic resourceshe can command.2912 X Beyond The Frontier - 2913 X-Tension - 2934 X 2 : The Threat - 2935 X³: Reunion"If you can imagine it, you can achieve it.
