The Boron have no direct contact with the Xenon, however, as allies of the Argon, they are very 
much aware of them and of the dangers they present. 
 
Despite being called the Kingdom of Boron the Boron race are actually ruled by an elected 
government. They do however have a royal family who act as figureheads of the Kingdom State. 
The current head of this Royal Family is the 50-year-old Queen Atreus. Her husband, King Rolk, 
was killed in a space cruiser when it crash landed on a nearby space station, leaving her 
daughter, the Princess Menelaus, as the heir apparent. 
 
The Boron Ships 
The Boron have cooperated in the past very closely with the Argon design engineers even 
though their aggressive nature was never fully understood by them. Recently they have built a 
new propulsion system to keep up with the fast Split patrol ships. Parallel to this they 
developed with their Argon allies, a new laser weapon which simply disables ships systems. 
Any Split being hit with this new weapon will suffer unspeakable shame, as they will have to 
be rescued. Hence the history of frequent attacks by the young Split pilots has stopped 
abruptly. In contrast to Argon ships, the new Boron ships are fast, fairly average armed and 
weaker shielded. 
PARANID  
 
Despite their many historic disagreements The Paranid are 
still allied to the Split and, through their membership of the 
Profit Guild, the Teladi. In addition to being members of the 
Profit Guild the Paranid allow all other races to trade openly 
throughout their sectors of space, however relations between 
the Paranid and the Argon are still very strained, and trade is 
the only contact the two races have with each other.  
 
Even to this day their strange rites and religious beliefs are a 
mystery to other races and it is virtually impossible to 
befriend or even understand them.  
These rites also forbid any member of another race settling 
or living on a Paranid colony, not that many ever want to
 
due 
to the fact that the Paranid prefer to settle on planets that are 
too hot for other races.
 
 
 
The Paranid Ships 
The Paranid have always known how to construct good combat ships and they have the most 
balanced fighting capabilities of all the fleets. But their designers have little imagination and 
only the required functionality is added to their ships, discarding comfort for more practical 
means. But if you were looking for a ship to still be intact after a heavy battle, a Paranid ship 
would make an excellent choice. 
 
They also developed the new Wide Laser type that has a larger area of fire. Their engineers 
had to sell the designs of the Wide Laser to other races during the recent recession which 
some have said, - with much sneering, was caused by the small cargo bays in their ships. 
Only the resale of the design plans for their heavy Wide Lasers was prohibited by their Secret 
Service and are still exclusively only used by Paranid battle ships. 
SPLIT  
Even now the Split still control large areas that used to be territories owned by The Kingdom 
of Boron. They continue to use the rare Markus space fly as a propulsive system and 
continue to successfully trade within the Profit Foundation. Whilst relationships between the 
Foundation Guild and The Profit Guild remain on the surface cordial, relationships between 
the Split and the other races are constantly degenerating and now border on the edge of war.
