Galon learned his true identity as the Kirin Clan’s guardian and left with the Alphart Council, while the Federation secured Farn’s laboratory and expanded its influence through war and diplomacy. After defeating the Holtair coalition and bringing the Blue Radiance Republic under its protection, Aierfei faced an invasion by a formidable Ninth Order power as Arno’s forces advanced into the region.

• Karos detonated the Knox Particle weapon, but Lin Aotian and the Alphart Council intervened, restored Galon’s Inherited Memory, and took him and Hypnos home.
• Wang Hai secured Farn’s biological laboratory through the Lockdown Plan, erased the passage to it, and negotiated a settlement in which humanity relinquished its claim in exchange for resources.
• The Federation prepared Operation Star Commander, expanded its research and support for the Tarak Civilization, and sent Aierfei’s fleet to confront the Holtair United Fleet.
• Aierfei broke through Lavoisier’s defenses, used intelligence from defecting civilizations to capture him, and persuaded the Blue Radiance Republic and six other civilizations to join the Federation.
• The Federation destroyed the United Fleet, and Lavoisier returned to learn that an unknown power had devastated the Blue Radiance Republic’s fleet and seized systems near its capital.
• Lavoisier asked Aierfei to help evacuate his people, but she judged the invading force too powerful to fight and began planning an evacuation of the Holter Supercluster.
• Arno’s forces attacked the Terra Empire, captured disabled warships, and learned that humanity had influenced the local civilizations as Arno ordered his troops to limit damage and capture the leader alive.

Aierfei and Lavoisier used the Doomsday Bomb and a maze of hyperspace interference to protect evacuating civilizations and escape Arno’s pursuit. The Moy Union’s Supreme Commanders recognized the weapon made a full-scale war against humanity too dangerous, just as an unknown force emerged from the Cosmic Current near the Liss Supercluster.

• Arno ordered his forces to capture the Blue Radiance Republic’s leader, while Lavoisier devised an evacuation plan and Lin Fan revealed that he was the Federation’s fifth S-Class Dark Energy Manipulator.
• Aierfei chose a fleet near the Terra Empire’s border as the Doomsday Bomb’s target, and Arno’s forces destroyed Republic facilities before they could capture them.
• Aierfei detonated the bomb against Sarna’s fleet at Koseqin, killing most of its crews, and Arno began investigating the weapon and humanity’s role in the attack.
• Aierfei and Lavoisier helped the Brant Empire destroy Yeripok’s fleet, then escaped Arno by restoring hyperspace travel and filling the Sester System with interference devices.
• Arno pursued evacuating civilizations as Aierfei organized their escape, but his fleet was trapped in a labyrinth of changing interference parameters and struck by another Doomsday Bomb.
• Arno reached the Ariston Star System after the allied fleets escaped through the Cosmic Current, then summoned the Moy Union’s Supreme Commanders and explained the Doomsday Bomb’s threat.
• Nina persuaded the Supreme Commanders that the Moy Union should seek contact with humanity, while Lombard’s forces detected an unknown object emerging from the Current Mouth at the Liss Supercluster.
• Lumbard ordered the defensive fleet to attack the iron ball, but it disabled weapons across hundreds of billions of warships and survived a high-speed collision, forcing the Moy Union to abandon its defensive line.

The Moy Union sought humanity’s aid against the White Tiger Empire, while the Federation discovered the Moy people’s inherited knowledge came from dangerous altered genes and formed a Bloodline Alliance with them. The Federation’s Doomsday Bomb stalled the Empire’s advance, but Fario rallied hundreds of civilizations to join the war, leaving the Moy Union preparing to defend its Current Mouths.

• Larnass ordered the Moy Union to withdraw from Liss and seek contact with the Aurora Civilization, but its communications failed as the White Tiger Empire gathered its forces.
• Nina approached Lin Fan to settle the Holtair dispute and proposed an alliance, revealing that the White Tiger Empire threatened the Moy Union and could eventually threaten humanity.
• Genetic tests showed that the Moy people shared an ancient bloodline with humanity but carried foreign gene fragments that caused inherited knowledge to overwhelm their brains and kill future generations.
• Larnass and Hathaway brought their unborn son to the Federation for treatment, and their son survived after specialists removed the dangerous gene fragments and inherited knowledge.
• The Moy Supreme Commanders agreed to a Bloodline Alliance with humanity after Larnass reported the Federation’s medical and military strength.
• Wang Hai and Lumbard evacuated the Stell Galaxy combat zone, destroyed the White Tiger Empire’s Hyperspace Interference Devices, and detonated a Doomsday Bomb that killed crews in hundreds of billions of enemy ships.
• Nevitt used Fario’s restrictions on direct intervention to encourage its subordinate civilizations to support one another, and 238 Ninth Order civilizations and five other Tenth Order civilizations joined the White Tiger Empire against the Moy Union.
• Nina rallied the Moy Supreme Commanders to defend the Current Mouths leading into their territory after the Moy people recovered nearly 300 billion abandoned White Tiger Empire warships.

Lin Fan used the Moy Union’s need for education and resources to strengthen ties with the Federation, while humanity mastered a Black Hole Channel. The Federation then invaded the Zilun Empire through the channel and struck its capital sphere.

• Lin Fan helped the Moy Union destroy the coalition fleet with the Doomsday Bombs, leaving the Union with nearly seventy trillion captured warships and a tariff agreement with the Federation.
• Fario and the White Tiger Empire tried to send a fleet through Viers to attack the Moy Union, but Lin Fan invoked the rules governing Super Civilizations and forced them to withdraw.
• As the Moy Union struggled to educate its children, Lin Fan offered student placements and Brain Development Potions in exchange for Dark Energy Crystals and shared Black Hole research.
• Nina secured a marriage alliance with Lin Fan, and the Federation and Moy Union began educational and medical exchanges while their child was born and the Federation advanced to Ninth Order status.
• Humanity’s Black Hole research reached five percent, and Lin Fan led the Federation’s preparations to conquer the Zilun Empire’s Nilkenia Super Galaxy Cluster.
• The Federation opened a stable Black Hole Channel into the Zilun capital sphere, where the Nether Fleet caught the unprepared Guard Fleets and destroyed millions of warships.
• Latis ordered reinforcements and an evacuation as Wang Hai’s fleet routed the Zilun defenders, then destroyed Skat’s flagship with nine Dark Energy Compression Rays.
