"We Have the Better Infantry"

Not all members of the galaxy were ready to believe humanity's warning, believing it to be a bluff. The ships they had sent to Got'ta had to be the entirety of their navy, and the missile expenditure - excessive even by the most conservative of estimates - must have represented their entire stockpile. Surely they had nothing left with which to threaten, let alone wage war against, the rest of the galaxy. They were mere upstarts after all, an uplifted race that simply didn't know its place.

This thought firmly seated in their minds, the vux, ente, hin'd, and bok all declared their support for the comvin, and war against humanity. All four of these factions were powerhouses in the galaxy, with the vux and hin'd boasting some of the best ships ever seen, while the bok had enough numbers that they were practically a swarm race, and the ente's warriors were regarded as some of the most elite in the galaxy.

Now the hunt was on for the nomadic fleet, and it seemed that, this time, humanity was truly doomed for extinction. Bounties were put out, causing freelancers and pirates alike to search ceaselessly for any sign of the humans. System after system was found bearing telltale signs of recent activity. It seemed that the hunters were closing in, and the vux in particular were poised to catch up and deliver the final blow.
