OVERVIEW
Short campaign, mainly to use as an introduction to naev and for the
first release.
HISTORY
The Collective are a recently new menace. They caught the empire off
guard and took over a few system which they proceded to systematically
purge of all life forms. The Empire then responded to the attack and a
stalemate was reached. Frequent skirmishes still occuring around the
border star systems.
A lot of speculation has been created among the Collective. Top secret
scientific gone wrong? New weapon of the FLF? Long-existing civilization
converted to robots? No one knows for certain.
