The fight with BH shifted to other regions. We were hit several times in Nomjga and Logzyi, and fighting still persisted lightly in Leviso and Augwra. The real fight became over Epithu. Epithu was the first system which QSC had colonized outside of the main Docchu cluster. Epithu is still to this day not connected by wormhole route to Docchu or any of our home worlds, because of this, reinforcements were light and took time. That is, until we began production of our own in that system, and then the pattern of old continued: BH and QSC fight, QSC wins (barely), QSC logs off and comes back to heavy losses due to BH. Our main weak point at this time was a lack of commanders. Recruitment had been next to nill and we lacked the numbers we had before the separation of Singularity.
At this point, the fighting had been going continuously for centuries in game, and several weeks out of game. All were becoming very tired. It was clear that QSC had the upper hand, but BH simply would not give up. More wormholes were found, leading to several small bases in the area, but one very large Alvenor base in particular, in Algnke. It was well fortified and had some of the first naval units I had seen in the game, but still could not withstand an offline attack. Its destruction slowed attacks slightly. We also managed to enlist the help of Vexus from Dominion. He helped us break into Misnco and destroy their support bases there, including Episer and Cogthu. Additionally, battle-groups arrived in Idible, BH's main production system, and began decimating their forces there. It seemed this was enough to break them, they conceded and, unexpectedly, dissolved as a guild. We had not intended this at all, but were close to it ourselves.
The final result was victory for us and peace in the galaxy. Not wanting this to become personal, we extended offers of membership to QSC for the lower ranked BH players, none of which accepted. We learned our lesson and began recruiting, should we ever go to war again.
It has been nearly a month and the galaxy has returned to a pseudo peace. Tensions are high once more as new territory constantly opens, causing land rushes while scores soar. It will be very interesting to see how long peace lasts and who is responsible for breaking it. While I had my fill of war, I am starting to grow tired of simply building all day... I may need to start wreaking a little!
