7th DIMENSION NEWS

While Achelaus has been out adventuring, his people have not been idle.
The seventh dimension, while not possessing numerous resources, is very open to colonization.
And The Alteriia love colonization.

So naturally, due to the seventh dim. being right in between the already possessed 6th and 8th dimensions, The Alteriia Council decided to being colonization efforts immediately, beginning with strategic outposts, then moving on to economic ones, ect...

The only problem is the fleet of the Dread Pirate Wesley.

Only days after Lady Zyria left the dimension, pirates, bandits, cartels, and other criminals swarmed the dimension for bases in which to raid their hated Alteriia enemies. The Dread Pirate Wesley, just so happened to be mean enough and smart enough in the right place at the right time...
So of course Wesley would try to stop the Alteriia's colonization efforts...

However, the Alteriia's 18th and 20th fleet combined, crushed a small fleet of marauders near the colonization land zones.
So the pirates waited. They knew some kind of war was on the air... all they had to do was avoid the attention of those fleets until war called them away.
They knew those fleets would not be there to protect the colonies forever...
