Historical Background
A space rift is in the process of forming directly to our front. It is now just between our fleet and the enemy’s fleet. Neither side has taken any action – I expect they are as amazed as we are that this thing has materialized and is taking shape. We would like to pull back from the sector for now, but I will await your confirmation before taking any action.
Too late! The enemy is on the move and they have deployed into attack formation.
The battle lines are drawn and you are in command. The rest is history?
