Encyclopedia Entry

After the initial Xenon assault on Emperor Mines, and with as many civilians rescued as possible, Olmanckarsat turned their attention to protecting other core Paranid systems from the Xenon invasion.

Calling in reinforcements from Paranid Prime, Olmanckarsat headed straight for Xenon Sector 101, predicting that the Xenon had launched everything they had atEmperor Mines. The Xenon were quick to follow the fleet back through the Jump Gate and Olmanckarsat immediately ordered the destruction of the Jump Gate on the other side. The Paranid fleet were trapped in Xenon territory, presumably destroyed, but Paranid space was safeWhen the North Gate of Emperor Mines opened up into Xenon Sector 101, the Paranid core systems were caught completely off-guard. The Xenon struck with lightning speed, crippling all Paranid defences within minutes and systematically wiping out everything in-system.

It was only due to the quick thinking of Olmanckarsat, a Paranid fleet commander, that any escape was possible at all.

Recognising that the crippled Paranid fleet could do very little against a superior enemy, Olmanckarsat ordered the Paranid to instead kite the enemy away from stations and civilian traffic, destroying small pockets of Xenon before moving on to the next target.

Notes

The minefield throughout the sector can make capturing this system sector prohibitive when in sector itself. As it doesn't function in low-attention it is fairly safe to capture it remotely with no losses to the minefield itself. Once captured the minefield will persist and cans till can still be deadly when in sector.
