The days on Ryh are longer than those on Earth. Yet it still took 33 rotations before we encountered the Oxataya - another 12 before we encountered any Ahzuri. So far our negotiations have gone well. The Oxataya are an ancient water-dwelling clan, full of wisdom, knowledge and insight. The Ahzuri are an ascetic mountain tribe that we know little about. We learned a lot from the Oxataya and their temples, but there is still much to discover. Our new research outposts and specialists have shown promising work so far. Only time will tell.

The expansion "The Specialists" adds two new local factions for players to negotiate, a temple location to visit, and outpost signs to expand their research bases. It also adds many new characters (with variable player powers) and contract cards, as well as the new, powerful specialist dice.
