Purple Clue: Seventeen days from now, an early-stage human colony world in the far rim, a planet named Larkspur Haven, will be struck by a deliberate biological seeding event delivered through a disguised micro-meteor fragment. The attacker is a predatory offshoot civilization known as the Kharov Synod, and their plan is to collapse the colony's resistance capacity through a tailored genetic plague before arriving to claim the system.
The details expanded, and Aurelian read them slowly this time.
The clue did not describe a war fleet, and that alone told him two things: either the attackers were cautious because their own strength was limited, or they were trying to avoid drawing the attention of larger powers, which meant they were operating in a zone where authority was thin, and distance was a shield.
As he read the whole thing, the first thought he had was about how far away it is from the border of the Alliance's territory.
