Editing The Alliance (MT/TNE) (section)

==The Black Fleets==
In 1136, a virus dominated Imperial black fleet jumped into Elyan system, engaged the Alliance forces in system and bombed the planet with a combination of meson weapons, low yield nukes and swarms of low tech combat bots. When Alliance reinforcements reached the system two days later, the Black Fleet plague-bombed all major settlements and fled.
Elyan system was devastated. From 1136-1144, elements of the black Fleet reappeared again, in and around the Alliance systems. They were never seen in Dethenese system, but a series of running battles and raids were fought over the next eight years.
