Federation Year 183. It had been three months since Aierfei's fleet withdrew to the Renos Supercluster.
Over those three months, Aierfei had been busy beyond measure.
She had to settle the five civilizations led by the Blue Radiance Republic while also seizing every moment to deploy defenses along the Current.

There was nothing to be done about it. As stated before, this was a Supercluster they had only recently captured. Even its interior had not yet been thoroughly cleared out, much less developed.
Therefore, just as Nina had predicted, with no other choice, Aierfei deployed one directly within the star system where the Current was located.

For the next two months, the coming two months would be critical for Aierfei!
As long as they could hold out, Zi Ling and Wang Hai would lead the Nether Fleet here.
And it would not merely be one Nether Fleet. More importantly, it would
