All extraction of Zorax from Zython's moons is directly governed by the competition agreement section of the Aeon United Pact, which prescribes the following:
1. All parties must officially register and participate in a Official War for Zorax deposit assignment.
2. The Zorax Mine will be unlocked, for the next period of peace, at the end of the previous War only for the Faction that won the War.
3. Every competing race must submit to random assignment to one of the three War Factions.
4. All parties can freely mine any resources other than Zorax.
5. Parties may create a pact with a maximum of 24 other Parties.
The Zorax assignments are some of the most prestigious and sought after enterprises in the galaxy. Entrepreneurs from all over the universe pick up the little savings they have and come to the Zython bazaar in search of glory and riches.
Winning a WAR for your faction, and earning your race extra assignments renders hero status and a cult like following.
