OXA Machine: Difference between revisions

The '''OXA Machine''' or '''Odyle Xenotaph Anarchive''' is a device created by the [[Psion]]s that is capable of clairvoyance, both revealing the past and predicting the future. It was destroyed by the [[Cabal Empire]] when the Psions were conquered and enslaved. Centuries later, it was rebuilt by [[Freeborn Otzot]].<ref name="CB">[[Cabal Booklet]]</ref>

At some point in the distant past, the [[Cabal Empire]] conquered the [[Psion]] race, destroying the OXA Machine as they did so. Centuries later, a brilliant [[Psion]] scientist known as [[Freeborn Otzot]] recreated the machine on a Psion moon called [[Brand]]. [[Umun'arath]] dispatched a Cabal armada to bomb Brand in order to destroy the device once again, but was ordered by [[Emperor Calus]] to stand down. Rather than punish Otzot, Calus rewarded her, and the OXA Machine was integrated for the Empire's use. Calus claims to have ''"interpreted the mad prophecies"'' of either this machine or its original, one of which detailed in vague terms the long-ago rise of the [[Hive]] under [[Oryx, the Taken King]].
