The Boötes Supernebula.
The moment the order was issued, tens of billions of warships broke free of the dense nebular matter like a swarm of locusts, advancing to meet the dimensional beings that had traveled so far.
Human Civilization had only just become a level nine civilization, and its five-dimensional theories and attack methods had only just passed experimental testing.
Those theories still needed time to translate into actual combat power.
This was the "post-advancement gap" every civilization experienced.

Its ongoing war with the Cleaners Civilization had severely depleted the Gardener Faction's fighting forces.
