What happened at HQ base 323 spread like wildfire. However, something more shocking rocked the citizens of various low-tier civilizations.
The Astral Empire was not the only empire that experienced this event. Other empires had some of their Frontline bases attacked by the Vimodial contractors.
HQ base 323 of the Astral Empire was quite fortunate that their base had not been claimed and taken by the Vimodial contractors.
The same did not apply for some attacked bases of other empires. The Vimodial contractors not only slaughtered everyone at these bases, they made the bases theirs.
Their aim was to use these claimed bases as strategic points to strike deeper into enemy territory.
The news did not arrive all at once.
It came in fragments and broken transmissions.
Emergency transmissions were abruptly cut out. Some visual feeds were filled with strange interruptions, followed by silence. Entire sectors went dark without warning.
