==The Early Years==
From 1130 to 1135, the DTA underwent some rigorous transformations while fighting a series of vicious battles across all it its systems. A total ban on all outside stellar traffic caused many running battles in all four systems, although no virus vessel ever reached the orbit of Dethenes itself. Meanwhile, the logistics of making the DTA self-sufficient in defence became a running nightmare. A radical rationalisation of high tech (16) production meant that the other memberworlds were slower to recieve infrastrucure upgrades sufficient to lift the local TL, but the priorities of system defence fleets, high tech ground defences and agricultural/resources production took priority.
