The Lexites are impeding Earth's efforts to expand into known space.
As the Captain of Earth's first interstellar starship, your mission is to visit new worlds and engage in combat against strange new ships while trying to unravel the mysterious plans of the post-humans who left Earth. Both want your allegiance, and both want to destroy each other, which leaves you with a question: where do your loyalties lie? Meanwhile, Commander Magara is missing, a faction of humanity is developing a dangerous battlecruiser, and the Mowlings’ God has reluctantly returned and asked you to help save them from destruction. Now that humans are a major player on the galactic scene, one question remains: how will they use their influence, and how will their interstellar neighbors feel about it? But, why? A new enemy has also appeared in the shadows, and it seems to have its own long and hostile history with humanity… Part 2: Return of the Lexites Face your most dangerous challenge yet against a post-singularity species whose motives are a mystery! Star Control®: Origins – Earth Rising Expansion Answer that question and much more in Earth Rising.
