"Medivh, prepare for war. This is a Seventh-Rank plane, and the natives have discovered the underground mycelium."
The Spore Queen had been spreading spores throughout the Endless Star Sea, searching for planes ripe for invasion.
In mid-June, Medivh received an urgent message from the Spore Queen.

The Sixth- and Seventh-Rank Myconids and Bone Spirits held off the native powerhouses.
The fifty-meter-tall Third-Generation God-Forged Mecha was a mobile artillery fortress. Dozens of Raging Flame Origin Crystal Magic Rune Cannons and God-Forged Cannons fired
