Capítulo 283: Maintaining Strength

While Erich and Tia capitalized off of the galactic economic crisis which they had both caused together. Lunaria was facing her own difficulties. The only interstellar civilizations who were immune to this sudden economic depression were those who ran self-sufficient economies with little to no ties to the galactic community as a whole. 

But as a major Galactic power, how could Lunaria not be affected by this sudden disaster? She found herself in a crisis. For more years than she could remember, the balance of power in the galaxy had been maintained with strict treaties. 

The major galactic powers all limited themselves on what weapons they could have, and how many of each they were able to field. This careful avoidance of a major arms race had prevented large scale galactic wars from occurring. But with this unprecedented economic crisis, she and her rivals were now forced to scale back their militaries.
