XEDRA

SPOILERS: Lore pages, by their nature, are spoilers. The story and game lore is meant to be experienced in-game; discovering lore via this wiki will likely detract from your enjoyment of the game.

The Xenophysical Energy Defense Research Agency (XEDRA), was created 18 months before Cataclysm to oversee the construction and operation of 12 new 4th axis research labs, scattered across the midwest.

Currently XEDRA is only found in the Timeline, Newspapers and the Lore page and is not an actual faction in game and no other mention is made in-game besides newspaper pages and lab notes.

Timeline

• February 2025: First reports of people rising from the dead, XEDRA immediately makes correct assumptions about what’s up as they’ve been experimenting on the blob and recognize its effects. The US government assumes it’s a controllable outbreak and tries to squelch reports to avoid classified information getting out. A very successful counterintelligence campaign makes YouTube reports of zombies and ferals into a high-quality prank that has caught on among the meme community. After all, any time a video comes out, an undoctored version surfaces not long after.
