Kosos defects
Military actionFleet Admiral Kosos, ordered by Elisos to activate the final available reserve forces, has realized the war is all but over and the Republic is likely doomed to fall. Having seen fleet intelligence on the disagreements between the Triad members, he knows they will turn on each other once the Republic has been removed. Looking for somewhere to go, he scoured the records of surveys searching for a new world which was at, or about to reach the established technological threshold for contact. He settled on the completely unheard of world of Earth, which lay strategically between both Anatos and Monsos. If either gained control of the world, they would be able to shape the history that was presented and bring a dynamic new civilization in blindly on their side. There was also the possibility of one of the rogue Republic fleets doing the same. He immediately began making preparations.
