The strange event — the sudden and highly unusual expansion of the armadas of the Behemoth of Curses Galaxy — caused waves of fear, confusion, and rising anger across every corner of the sector.
Everyone felt, deep within their hearts, that something profoundly illogical and out of place was happening. What connection could those distant planets and their innocent inhabitants possibly have with Hedrick?! What justified such reckless escalation?
Immediately, the empires and the smaller Planetary kingdoms that were still faithfully committed to paying their taxes, along with a handful of the Centennial Empires belonging to the Galaxy of Bright, rushed to intervene and uncover the truth behind these disturbing movements. Yet the response they received was even stranger than the situation itself:
"Wait for Lord Orion's negotiations in the Mid Sector 102."
And so this tense atmosphere continued for another full year.
