In return for helping to raise 'their' ship from the ocean floor, the Skedar promised to supply dataDyne with enough alien technology to become the biggest corporation on the face of the planet. They contacted the company head, Cassandra De Vries, and presented her with a deal that sounded too good to be true - which, of course, it was. At the top of the list was the dataDyne Corporation. Performing their own study of Earth, the Skedar came up with a shortlist of companies possessing the resources to help them recover the sunken ship. In time, their tests inevitably led them to its resting place on the bed of the Pacific Ocean however, in order to actually reach it, they would need the help of the natives. They immediately began to scout Earth in a particularly heavy-handed way, abducting people and mutilating animals in an attempt to determine the location of the lost battle cruiser. Then, in 2006 AD, Skedar fanatics stumbled across the Cetan message pod. Having agreed that his plan was sound, and finding him to be a person of integrity, the Maians allowed Carrington to release their technology into the public domain through his considerable Research and Development holdings. He put forward a plan that would help both parties, resulting in accelerated contact between Humans and Maians. Mankind, too, continued to be a cause of concern to the Maians, and they watched with disappointment as Earth suffered more and more crises brought on by the rise of technology and 'outside context situations.' They feared that announcing their presence would only precipitate further wars on the planet, and quietly decided to continue their observation until the race became more mature.ĭaniel Carrington jumped the gun in 1985 AD by contacting a Maian ship in orbit above Earth. Fortunately, the Maians refused to be drawn. Only after hundreds of years of fighting did an uneasy peace develop, and even then Skedar fanatics persistently tested the boundaries of this peace with terrorist activities. The Maians encountered the Skedar near Delta Eridanus in 1650 AD (Earth date), and the resultant skirmish soon blossomed into an all-out war.
