NIKRUSIS, MSG—A parade held in celebration of the fall of Blackout, an infamous fortress carved from an asteroid and run by Lux Aeterna, flooded the streets of Aasvogel on Nikrusis this weekend.
The Lux Aeterna-funded station imprisoned hundreds of aliens in the Mobius Strip Galaxy, and dealt in alien slave trafficking and android demolition derbies. Lux Aeterna, an organization created to advocate for the welfare of humanity, has since turned into a militant group responsible for terrorist attacks throughout the galaxy.
On Saturday, thousands of humans and aliens waved flags, hoisted political banners, marched and danced on the streets of Aasvogel to celebrate the mercenaries who put an end to Blackout and freed its prisoners.
The motley crew responded to the help wanted ads posted across the Infosphere by the Galaxy Federation in a desperate attempt to take a stand against Lux Aeterna. The rescue mission was led by former Lux Aeterna operatives who defected in favor of peace: Virgo Rahal, Harpur Delhardt, Nathan Delhardt, and Marc Zhang.
Operation: Whiteout also included efforts by Jaheira Morningstar; Cecille Gadhavi; Ara Liahice; Zeta Moreno; Quinne Lawson; Enfield Fleischer; Jaxamir Harlo; BB Pruliti; Raymond Zaruli Zezkik; and Vanix.
Morningstar might be a familiar name for those who remember the July 4, X009, murder of Earth 446 legislator James Morningstar and his wife, Lynn. 26-year-old Jaheira is the Morningstars' only child, who was once believed to be dead.
The decade-old cold case murder is thought to have been committed by members of Lux Aeterna, but authorities on Earth 446 refuse to confirm or deny these accusations.
Morningstar was all smiles at Saturday's parade as she stood atop one of the floats and shotgunned a beer thrown to her by someone in the crowd.
She refused to talk about her parents, or what the fall of Blackout and Lux Aeterna meant for her going forward.
"I don't want to talk about this," Morningstar said. "There are so many hot chicks here—One gave me a beer! Did you see that?—I'm drunk and having a good time. Wait, don't quote that."
As for the fate of Lux Aeterna, the Galaxy Federation insists the galaxy has nothing to fear.
"It's over," said one GalFed lieutenant who declined to be named.
