The interstellar battle between the ancient Vasari and the Trader Emergency Coalition has now been raging for 13 years and the Advent push on the Trader Order’s undefended flank has finally been halted after 3 years of devastating losses.

With both fronts temporarily stable, the TEC has begun deploying new technologies and testing new strategies that will secure the current territory and prevent further “running the gauntlet” strikes against the critical and relatively vulnerable Central Worlds.

In the long run, the hope is that this will buy them time to develop and organize an all-out offensive.
