As the historic Second Chaos World Invitational Championship aka “The Big Party” approaches along with a historic vote on Xandrian participation, we take a look back at the story so far behind The Xandrian Agenda:

Contrary to popular belief on some planets, reinforced by hundreds of motion pictures depicting Xandrians as the “shadowy mastermind” perpetrating villanous acts from remote Moufette, the Xandrians aren’t androids themselves. Xandrians are a fully sentient and organic species from the planet Moufette.
They are also a reclusive species, hardly seen in public, but extremely advanced from a technological perspective, rivaled only by the Clausius. This makes them valuable engineers and scientists for planets across the Firmament, with the Padoccia Trade Union on Altareth being one of the biggest employers of Xandrian engineers. This also makes them mysterious and mythical, an easy target for popular and fictional media to cast as “the other” or “the Big Bad” in both real-life and fictional affairs.
The Xandrians have helped other species over centuries develop sophisticated tech, however in this case they seem to have developed tech that allows Xandrians (and Xandrians only) to direct Chaos Agents in battle – something that only the Academy’s licensed Brokers have been able or even allowed to do. Why and how Brokers are selected and are able to direct Agents is shrouded in secrecy and known only to the Firmament High Council and the Academy, so Xandrians being able to direct Agents using a parallel tech seems to be problematic.
So the Xandrians themselves aren’t androids, but they seem to have a special connection/tech to be able to direct Chaos Agents. However, there is a species called the “Rhodian” who in fact are semi-organic and can be considered “mechs” or “Androids” – some of whom are selected to train as Chaos Agents. The Xandrians seem to have a special connection/relationship with the Rhodian.
Xandrians initially only directed Rhodian Agents using their new battle tech, but now have expanded to directing non-Rhodian Agents too since being invited to join Academy Training Battles. Examples of Rhodian Agents include Gillie the Grizzled, The Imperious Bonecrusher, Son of the Least Objectionable, and the Marshal of the Unforgiving.
The Xandrians direct Agents in Battle not from the usual Dropships that other Brokers use, but remotely from their planet Moufette or from the safe confines of the Padoccia Trade Union HQ on Altareth.

1. Xandrians Allowed to Direct Agents in Training during Chaos Shard Battles
The Xandrian Agenda campaign kicked off in explosive manner with the announcement that Xandrian Handlers would be allowed to direct Chaos Agents in battle, not just limited to Rhodian Agents:
Chaos Broker Council members Zhawk, Luchapetal, and MrThrifty noticed that certain Agents in Chaos Battles seem to be directed by Brokers coded XN-#### and hypothesized that Xandrians were controlling these Agents.
Soon after, official confirmation came in the form of announcements from the Chaos Academy and the Xandrian-allied Padoccia Trade Union on planet Altareth.

6. Judges Unable to Reach Unanimous Decision on Xandrian Challenge Results: Vote on Xandrian Claims Imminent
The Xandrian Handlers fought well but were swept 9-0 by the Chaos Academy’s Brokers. In a stunning twist of events, 4 of the 5 Win Conditions were “donated” by Brokers to Xandrians, with only Zhawk (with 5 Win Conditions) retaining his victories.
7. Leaked Communication from the Padoccia Trade Union to MrThrifty Reveals Incentives Behind “Xandrian Win Donations”
It was soon revealed that Chaos Academy Brokers had been given incentives by the Padoccia Trade Union to “donate” their Win Conditions to the Xandrians, causing significant disruption within the Academy’s ranks.
