NOTE: THIS EVENT HAS ENDED.

EVENT OVERVIEW[ | ]

“	It's time to fight back.	”
	— Event Video

The Oligarchs have fortified their position in the Carmine Nebula. Regimented rows of force-field walled Outposts stand between us and Ny'tah's near complete Planet Destroyer, the Titan - A weapon she openly intends to fire on Rebel HQ. The survival of the Rebellion depends on us breaking through their lines and blasting the Titan halfway back to Altair.

With Klavic in the solar wind and the Altairians pushing ever closer towards Rebel HQ, the days when the VEGA Federation was our biggest threat seems like a distant memory.

How did we end up here, abandoned and on the brink of destruction in someone else's war?

DESCRIPTION[ | ]

Blindside is the 45th event in VEGA Conflict. It continues the Altairian season and introduces the new Altairian Outpost Targets.

BLINDSIDE - BEFORE EVENT

4/30/2018

I blame myself.

As a hatchling, Klavic was so desperate for someone to follow. I was too busy studying, training, being the best Altairian I could be. If only I'd taken more time to set him right. Instead I left him defenceless to father's manipu -- wait -- the comms channel is on?!?!

Ahem. Klavic, if you're there, I've acquired a recording you need to see: On-Wah's last moments as an Altairian...

BLINDSIDE - BEFORE EVENT

“	5/1/2018 I can't stop watching this recording. It is my father's body, his voice. Every test I've run confirms it. He said his ascension was spiritual, that we could join him in paradise. But this... is unnatural. He uploaded his consciousness into a network of heavily armed planets - not a feat of enlightened meditation, but the last act of a desperate man, surrounded and fleeing capture. No! This is some cunning deception by my sister. It must be.	”
	— Klavic

5/2/2018

Rebels, the Oligarchs have secured the Carmine Nebula and all but captured our sectors.

Klavic shared plans for an Altairian Destroyer. It has an Overdrive with Wall Piercing capabilities which we desperately need against the force field walls in Ny'tah's new Altairian Outposts.

But the bad news is.. He's gone. Klavic just jumped in a Cavalier Cutter and shot off through a wormhole. I have no idea where he went or if he's even coming back.

BLINDSIDE - BEFORE EVENT

“	5/3/2018 Feeble humans, I am sparing your Rebel headquarters... for now. It will make good target practice once the Titan is complete. We must be sure our weapon works before turning it against On-Wah. We are taking your sectors though, as a secure buffer against father's saboteurs. Resist as much as you wish. Your efforts are futile, but they do keep my troops sharp.	”
	— Ny'tah

BLINDSIDE - AFTER EVENT

“

5/7/2018

The Planet Destroyer is complete. Those vibrations are the Titan drawing energy from the fabric of subspace. It's only a matter of time until it's charged.

Without allies we're finished, but Klavic is gone and the other Heralds have distanced themselves from us. VEGA Federation, scenting desperation, offer aid... IF we cede all our territory and hand a long list of key Rebels into their custody, including you and me.

This is... an impossible choice.
