Bentheim!
The Sand War reached its most intense stage at Bentheim!
The battles at the frontlines had turned into a sideshow compared to the great collision between two civilizations in a single port system!
Bentheim was like a black hole that sucked in numerous sandman fleets and human reinforcements on a continuous basis. Its mere existence seemed to warp the surrounding regions, depriving them of most sandmen that would have ordinarily attacked the lesser star systems.
Whether this was a good or bad development for the Bright Republic remained to be seen.
While many vulnerable citizens temporarily escaped the threat of annihilation, the Bentheim system turned into one of the most terrible warzones in the Sand War!
Dozens of sandman fleets poured into the star system every day. While most of them were individually weak, collectively they pressured the defenders to the brink of despair.
"There are too many sandmen!"
