Menaxus

Menaxus was a planet in Mutter's Spiral.

Irving Braxiatel created a fictional history for Menaxus, as well as the ruins of a theatre on the planet. He planted the Dream Machine in the ruins to be found by Heletian archaeologists in 3980. He expected it to be taken back to Heletia, where it would be used to help the Rippeareans invade Heletia.

The scheme was delayed when the machine caused the deaths of almost all the archaeologists. The one survivor returned in 3985, brought the machine back to Heletia as intended, belatedly fulfilling Braxiatel's plan. (PROSE: Theatre of War)
