The past year was hectic for the Earthlings.
They had to mobilize their resources, train their soldiers, and prepare their strategies. They also had to deal with the political pressure from the other civilizations, some of whom were suspicious of their sudden involvement in the war.
After all, they wondered why they only came now, but the leader of the alliance soon gives them an explanation, this was because they were a peak level 2 civilization.
The Pinar race suspected that they were a level 3 civilization, but they were not sure, they planned to destroy the Earthling along with the Raak race during this war. The galaxy war was provoked because they were two level 3 civilizations, they didn't want another one to appear.
Also, during this year, Emma had contacted secretly the civilization under the bir civilization in the Norma arm.
