"The foe you all battled was only a fragment of the entity known as 'Valkalonex'.
The Automations on Iohodis were placed here by another fragment of that same entity, and for the past few decades, they have been terrorising our continent, attempting to extract resources and research samples.
Especially from the site of the destroyed World Tree, Triffid.
The Infernal Devils refused to intervene, citing the pact that prevents them from entering here.
With our forces alone, we barely managed a stalemate, but we discovered that they are much like the Swarm Vanguard you faced 85 years ago. They operate with a 'mothership system', and if that 'mothership' is destroyed, all the Automations under its command cease to function.
However, the Valkalonex fragment that deployed these Automations is not in our galaxy as far as I am aware.
