A New Mission

After being bombarded by Hypnos for a full hour, Latis had no choice but to agree to dispatch eighty percent of the empire's entire fleet on an expedition to the Viers Supercluster.

Of course, assembling the fleet and preparing war supplies would all take time.

Countless Federation vessels were busily at work in the void.
