Long range scans picked up a massive explosion that suddenly took out an entire system in a remote area of space, far beyond the Hevangian systems, but still technically under Triaxian control.

An ominous, incredible mystery unfolded.

Spacer teks and scientists found that phenomena very strange and worrisome. The star in that sector had been very average, and showed no signs whatsoever of going nova, or collapsing, or reaching critical mass in any way.

The quanta-blast explosion was so devastating, that it did not seem to match even what the explosive output of such a star should have been. And it happened almost instantly, with no astronomical warning, whatsoever.

The fact that such a cataclysmic event escalated and occurred so rapidly had many stymied. It was completely unexplained and unnatural.

Yet the weird event also took place in a far away, blank area of dead space, well beyond the Scutum-Crux Arm, in a lifeless, remote system of barren rocks and gas giants. No one could go there to check it out, even if they had wanted to.

Very peculiar, but for the most part impossible to investigate, what with the prosecution of the war and all.

The Alliance already had its hands very full.

Every system in the Hevangian region posed a unique and separate problem and threat. The normal pacification strategies did not seem to apply at all.

Each world had its own planetary defense shield, and Triax had developed a way to keep Alliance stealth fixers from penetrating those shields.

Therefore, until the planet defense shield of each separate planet was taken down, there would be no way to neutralize any genocide devices seeded on those worlds.

Admiral Sandusky’s shadow fleets and agents also had little influence on the majority of these fanatical worlds. And thus each Hevangian world turned into more or less, a ready-made trap for Alliance forces to become enmired in.

It became very clear to Naero and many others that they would need to rethink their strategies, and come up with new solutions in a hurry.

Otherwise, they would quickly get bogged down for many months–if not years–dealing with all of those worlds and their petty problems.

First, the main war had to continue to be prosecuted to its fullest extent, without delay.

That reality continued on a daily basis, as the Alliance fought from world to world, and system to system, putting down the staunch, Triaxian Naval forces.

Already, sadly, three entire Hevangian systems had more or less committed cosmicide, via mass genocide devices which either they or their leaders set off themselves. Some–well in advance of the Alliance progress. The entire situation was insane.

It was Heaven-7 all over again, on an even wider scale, and there was nothing the Alliance could do about it.

The Gigacorps propaganda machine had a field day, blaming the alliance for every tragedy.

Hundreds of billions more dead–for no logical reason.

Naero spoke up one day at an officer’s meeting with the Alliance admirals.

“I’m sorry to say this. It goes against everything I feel and believe. But I don’t think we can sort out this Hevangian mess on every single world.
