Tips:

  • Almost perfect Xchagger/Green Mycon world at Terpischore 1, Acubens 3.
  • Decent Xchagger planets in Rasalas system. Rasalas 1 and 1a.
  • Decent Green Mycon planet at Houynnhnm 2, Acubens 5a.

Game Plot Note: Not allowing the Syreen to mentally shield League races will result in a psychic attack by the Orz near the end of the game.
Orz: I am *expanding* with anticipation! There is no more *jumping in front*! It is finally the biggest *partytime*! All *Campers* must make happy *Friends* with their *secret sauce*! [...] Too much thanks to happy *Camper* Captain for removing the Syreen's *nasty tricks*, I am realizing!
