Star City & The Overmind

The greatest mystery the players haven’t been told is just why the V’sori didn’t devastate Star City. It’s been hinted that they’re curious about the place and its odd origin, but there’s far more to it than that.
Star City was on the Overmind’s list of places to bombard, and a few missiles did strike Eastpoint. The moment they impacted however, the Overmind suffered an onslaught of massive agony! Images of Star City flashed in his head so he had no doubt of the pain’s source. Ch’thadra mentally ordered his minions to call off the Star City assault and the pain subsided instantly.
The Overmind waited anxiously for attacks elsewhere to cause him pain—thinking perhaps the Earthers had defenses he wasn’t aware of—but nothing happened. Finally, all the other major cities of the world were smoking ruins, and their governments had capitulated or been destroyed.
The Overmind quickly turned his attention to Star City. He had no desire to go there physically—it could be a trap—so instead he placed his most loyal and cunning minion in charge, Warlord Grypon.
Since that day, Grypon has learned that Star City is some sort of giant transmitter for psychic energy, and that it was built by the god of the Proteans. The problem is that the V’sori didn’t pay much attention to the Proteans when they destroyed their planet, and in truth didn’t even know some of them had made it to Earth. Their “flight first” response didn’t earn much respect from the Overmind, so they were dismissed as just another of the paltry species that had so easily fallen before the V’sori Empire.
Killing individual citizens in Star City causes the Overmind discomfort, but it is manageable. Mass carnage is almost unbearable however, so he has ordered Grypon to respond with surgical precision against rebellious humans—rather than attacking with overwhelming and indiscriminate force as is usually done.
Grypon searches ceaselessly for the answers to these and other questions. He is loyal to the Overmind, but can’t help realize the power he holds in his hands. If the order to destroy Star City were given, it would almost certainly kill the Overmind as well, perhaps elevating Grypon to the rank of Shocklord.
