The Federation prepared to use the Zerg as a buffer against Purgatory, then launched a full-scale campaign against them while the Tarak Civilization survived a devastating invasion. At Heres, the Federation destroyed a Ninth Order fleet, while Aliya committed hidden forces near Neumann and left Lin Fan’s commanders wary of her next move.

• As the Federation attacked Aliya’s forces at Neumann, Aliya deployed previously unknown High-Tier Stealth Blade Bugs and ten Royal Guard Bug Super Swarms, prompting Liang Xingchen to suspect she had a larger purpose.

• Aliya deployed Dark Energy Protectors and Star Arbiters against the Federation, prompting Lin Fan to send the untested Doomsday Bomb to the Lombard Arm.
• Lin Yu and the other Nether Legion commanders tried to contain the Star Arbiters as the Federation prepared to evacuate, but Aliya recalled the creatures and Lin Yu’s forces withdrew.
• After the Doomsday Bomb detonated, Zerg warbugs died across the Lombard Arm, and Lin Fan’s probes found Aliya’s lifeless body drifting in space.
• Wei’s research ship recovered Aliya in an isolation coffin, but its operator reported that she might not be completely dead.

The Federation entered the Bosnia Supercluster, brought the Crete Empire and Heisen Republic under its subordinate system, and routed the native civilizations’ massive coalition. The arc ended as the Federation sprang a trap on the Third Super Attack Group.

• Revis and Solomon activated the markers in the Lanling Star Cluster, and Federation forces emerged from Hyperspace Windows to attack the trapped Third Super Attack Group.

After destroying the United Fleet, the Federation expanded into other Superclusters as Lin Fan learned his origins and awakened as an S-Class Dark Energy User.
