At the Fortress world of New-Baden, GSR scanners pick up on a strange anomaly in space, seemingly swirling like a vortex...
More scans are done, and they pick up high energy readings coming from the other side...fast..
They're only just realizing this when a fleet of about 200 ships jumps in from the portal, bearing a strange crest on their hulls, and sending one message to the Fortress over and over
"The UEE has returned, bow to the might of Venamis."
details
The Scanners mostly pick up fast ships in the enemy fleet, but can see a few larger/slower ships
end details
The smaller ships begin firing at the GSR defenses around the world, whilst the bigger ships start firing at the planetary shield
