Shayne & Aurox’ legendary gear is rewarded to the player when all lore challenges are completed.

(Conversation between Aurox and Shayne pulled from a surveillance microphone within Shayne’s personal quarters in the Rogue outpost on Braxon III, installed at the request of the Valkyrie. Audio attached, transcript below.)
Shayne: Awright, one more time. Fetch, Aurox!

Aurox: I will ELIMINATE your physical form, child.

Shayne: Come on, we talked about this. This is how it works. This is how we have FUN. I throw, you fetch. Got it, Aurox?

Aurox: I am a RAGING HATE FURNACE of INFINITE POWER!

Shayne: Awwwww, so cute! Anyway, c’mon! Fetch! C’mon, boy!

Aurox: I will paint SEVERAL MURALS with your BLOOD!

Shayne: Nah, you won’t. Don’t forget, I have… THIS.

(Aurox makes an alarmed gurgling noise.)

Shayne: Yeah, you recognize THAT? It’s your phase beacon – the only thing keepin’ all your atoms and junk in one piece! And this button, this one? The one I’m LAZILY resting my finger on? Well, uh… uh… well, I have no idea what it does, but you really don’t want me screwing with this thing!

So you work for ME now. Sound good?

(Aurox sighs irritably.)

Shayne: Y’know, I CAN just shut this thing off…

Aurox: NOOOO!

Shayne: “Nooooo”-kay then! So fetch, damn you! Here it goes!

(Aurox grumbles, disgruntled; brief silence while he fetches.)

Aurox: I have returned. And I have brought you the object you hurled. Shayne.

Shayne: Sorry – who?

(Aurox sighs, resigned.)

Aurox: Supreme Shayne, Lord of All Things, Blessed Be Her Name.

Shayne: Aw, yeah. I like this. THIS is good.

–== LLC ARCFLEET EXTERMINATION REQUEST 19956.27
–== WORK ORDER TO EXTERMINATE INDIGENOUS THREAT
–== LOCALE: CHUNK BRAXON III, DETRITUS RING, SOLUS SYSTEM
–== TAGS: GUAYOTA, ENERGY_SUCKING_ROCK_MONSTER, ROGUE_HOBOS
–== TAGS: S1_WEAPON_TRIAL, PRI1, SEV2
–== EXPECTED DATE OF COMPLETION: y.19956, d.30

This work order requires the aggressive depopulation of a dangerous indigenous species known as the “guayota” from the Braxon III planetoid of sector 17 within the Detritus Ring.

The “guayota” – or “star poop”, in the Aelfrin tongue – are aggressive and volatile energy beings capable of instantaneously encasing themselves in nearby mineral matter. They can also rapidly shift into a state of partly-phased energy, from which they feed incessantly on most known processed power sources. This appetite makes them terribly dangerous to colonies in the Detritus Ring, where the guayota are known to assault colonies, draining them entirely of power – a less-than-ideal outcome for colonies who rely on functional oxygen scrubbers to live.

The LLC has been offered a handsome contract from an anonymous third party to disperse the creatures from Braxon III and other nearby planetoids within the Detritus Ring.

(Letter found crumpled among the remains of Aurox’s containment facility within the Braxon III Base, after the heavy shield containment and its generator were ripped into small bits.)
S’up buddy. You are my BOMB. You are my badass bro. And my friend. And all that. I luv that you are always a part of me now. So close, I always feel that love from you… I let you go, but you always come back to me. You’s tha best.

One of these days, I’ll let you go. And go and go. Go as far as you want, and not even come back if you don’t want to. You can go SO far.

Oh. Not you, Aurox. Talkin’ to my BOOM-RANG.

P.S. – Clean up your cage, ORE-rockZ! It’s filthy in here!

(Etched into the side of a downed Jennerit cruiser on Ekkunar, in crude, evenly-spaced blocky handwriting.)

THE STARS WILL DIE BUT BEFORE THEM THIS GIRL WHO IS MY PRISON.
I WILL BREAK THESE BONDS AND THEN DEVOUR HER SOUL.
SHE WILL NO LONGER HOLD MY BONDED OBEDIENCE.
I WILL EXTINGUISH MY ANGER IN HER BLOOD.

(Immediately below this message, written in stylized spray paint.)

You wish, SUKKAHROX.
Shayne RULEZ!
ROGUES 4-EVA!

// THE VALKYRIE’S CHRONICLES — DAY 5977
New rescue today – goes by the name of Shayne. Parents are nowhere to be found and the kid’s not the sharing type. Pre-teen. Major attitude. Ready to scrap. Found her picking around the settlement on Braxon III, not long after the LLC guayota exterminations. Good kid. Smart mouth. Scrapper. Reminds me of me.

// THE VALKYRIE’S CHRONICLES — DAY 5978
Something’s up with this Shayne kid. Thought she was just shy, but now I think she’s hiding something pretty major. Found her in the loot lockup on Braxon III past a door a capital ship blast couldn’t have opened. Doesn’t strike me as the hacker type. Just gave me one of those mean smiles when asked about it.

Only minor loot missing. Mostly mineral structural enhancers the miners use to reinforce caves. Color me suspicious.

// THE VALKYRIE’S CHRONICLES — DAY 5979
That little brat stole my hoverskiff from under lock and key. Huge – and I mean HUGE – hole in the side of the hangar. Only carries that little boomerang and no explosive residue. More curious than mad. She’s back under lock now.

// THE VALKYRIE’S CHRONICLES — DAY 5980
Well, mystery solved. Shayne has a “pet” guayota – one of those big rock monsters the LLC were trying to wipe out. Somehow, she’s making it do what she says. Never seen anything like it… big, ugly sucker. Almost got out of the shielded prison.

Rest of the base is rattled. I’m seeing potential here…
