Zanuka Project

Event Page: The Gradivus Dilemma Hinted at in Livestream 16, the Zanuka Project involves the Corpus, headed by Alad V, who have found hidden Tenno Cryopods somewhere near Sedna. Upon hearing of this project, General Sargas Ruk became furious that the Corpus would dare to begin research in Grineer territory. Ruk sent demands to Alad V in which he demanded the Corpus hand over Tenno Cryopods immediately or there would be swift action taken against the Corpus. Alad V ignored this threat and instead set up a defensive force on Mars in hopes of repelling Ruk's offensive, all while still uncovering the dormant Tenno. When the Grineer arrived, they were faced with a strong resistance and eventually pushed back, which further angered Ruk. He produced an ultimatum demanding that all Corpus territory be handed over to the Grineer or there would be swift consequences.

The Lotus became informed of this information and alerted the Tenno, when the battle between the Grineer and the Corpus began, unwilling to direct the Tenno towards one side or the other, the Lotus left the decision of Loyalty or Sacrifice up to the individual Tenno. The Lotus transmission to the Tenno was misinformed, as the second paragraph meant to say "If you choose to fight with the Grineer for Sargas Ruk, you can save the sleeping Tenno but the Grineer will grow even stronger. Fight for the Corpus and weaken Grineer supremacy however, our comrades fall to the mercy of Alad V."

It is unknown at this time what consequences will arise from letting either faction win at this time, and it is unknown if either outcome will affect the release of the Beserker warframe or new tilesets.

This conflict may be the test run of the new Invasion game mode, like Survival was tested with an event, where players must choose a side on active conflicts to sway control of that level. Unknown if levels that are changed to the opposing faction will stay that way, but most likely will be similar to Nightmare Mode and active conflicts will rotate, allowing the level to be swapped again.
