Hegemon Shadow Service

Overview
The Hegemon Shadow Agency is the chief intelligence service of the Unathi. More specifically, the Hegemony, which claims both half of the Unathi home planet, as well as the colony of Ouerea. It was founded shortly after the Contact War, and is very much catching up with the other, more established agencies of other space faring factions. With their home planet dying from the effects of the great atomic war, the hopes of the Unathi species has been determined to lie in the stars. But with all the nearby habitable worlds seized by the other species, and a severe gap in the technology between the Unathi and other races, it has become obvious that the Hegemony is caught in a crossroads, where they will either expand across the stars and take their place as a proud Empire, or be destroyed by their own arrogance. ..

Theft of Bluespace and AI Technology
Bluespace technology stolen from Nanotrasen by Agent Shinjlekh Ukha. In addition, research on AI's is stolen, providing the very first laboratories on Moghes dedicated to AI research.

Reverse-Engineering of human technology
The NSS Xinjin has several engineers and scientists kidnapped by Shadow Service agents, as well as having many key technologies stolen. Hegemony scientists quickly begin reverse-engineering the stolen technology, radically advancing the pace of modernization on Moghes. Scientists on Moghes, with the help of the new technology and information from the kidnapped personnel, begin drawing up plans for a new, radical warship design. With this new ship, and the technology of their rivals reverse-engineered, there were whispers of a future Hegemony across the galaxy itself.
