The Marrakath System had fallen!
Ever since the Komodo War began, several star systems had already begun to change hands.
None of them were very important. Even if the enemy took them over, they could always be taken back.
There were too many planets and star systems in space. Even powerful states such as the Friday Coalition and Hexadric Hegemony knew that it was futile to turn every one of them into impenetrable fortresses.
Also, due to the properties of FTL drives and the extreme distances they were capable of traversing, no wall was impenetrable.
What truly mattered in the long run was holding key star systems. These star systems possessed several strategically important endowments, ranging from rich exotic deposits, a large existing infrastructure, a large productive workforce or close proximity to a lot of other valuable star systems.
The Carnegie Group happened to turn the Crestfallen Stars into their first line of defense!
