The Shi-az-ee blamed Humanity for an atrocity that they did not commit, and embarked on a holy war, vowing to destroy them all. Due to public pressure in both systems of humanity, the war between them came to an end, and the combined fleets turned their attention to the Shi-az-ee. But hidden in an unlikely place, lurked the true enemy, waiting and watching, and seeking its revenge.
