The conquest of the Confederacy was as swift as it was brutal. Few people knew about the existence of alien life within the borders of the degenerate state. And those who did only knew about civilizations that were not even powerful enough to be considered minor powers.
The Empire had sent a small expeditionary force, no more than one hundred ships, and a quarter of those had the purpose of providing logistics and supplies to the combat operations. Yet these hundred warships were significantly larger than anything that the Confederacy had to offer, and advanced in capabilities beyond their wildest dreams.
Even if the spies in the Confederacy had not completely disabled the nation's defenses, the war would have been an absolute bloodbath. Within hours, the banner of the black sun was waving proudly on every world except for earth.
