History

The Firstworlds drew on the example of the Vilani Scare and secretly moved a fleet through the regions to rimward of the Demon’s Eye Rift, positioning them for an attack into Scybrian territory. At same time, it massed forces within the Rissa Gateway. Meanwhile, the Corolian Jurisdicture moved its forces to the spinward border of Scybrian territory.

• 5486AD Fifth Jump Hub Raid. Destruction of the Jump Hub.

A huge raid from Corolian space destroyed the Scybria Jump Hub, effectively severing the major link between the Afkhar Cluster and the Nist Cluster. Scybrian traffic was forced to rely on the circuitous Jubb-Duseb Corridor, dramatically affecting its ability to conduct the war.

At a pre-arranged time the two states launched their respective attacks. Corolian forces made slow, bloody progress against strong Scybrian defences, gaining footholds in systems that had been occupied by Scybria for decades. At the same time the Firstworlds began to attack in strength along the Rissa Gateway, forcing their way past.
