800 A Light Week

Over the course of the next two weeks, the new Pilots got to really work on their skills without a serious threat of being overrun. Not once did the Arisen send more than one ship after the station's zone, making every battle a skirmish as the enemy tested the extent of their new developments, and the Koleska hurried to spread them all over the Empire. 

It was a race for survival on their part, as the new developments had cut casualties by such a large margin that they could actually produce soldiers faster than they were losing them for the first time, and the new Pilots were gaining valuable experience to become more effective combatants.
