| - | a | + | For the Vitari like many other small ‘stepping stone’ powers in the shared periphery they were simply in the wrong place. A string of habitable systems stretching across the disputed sector and providing a convenient reach into the adjacent Alliance frontier. While nominally a client of the mass of semi-cooperative species and nations they were a tertiary concern at best. Other regions where the borders were within a single days travel simply had priority as far as attention and interventions went. |

| + | The Glenstat System had been the first to fall, too close to the Imperial border to not slowly fall under the sway of Imperial trade and economics. The simple need for skilled labor resulting in the gradual push of immigration by temporary workers turning into permanent residence and for closed special settlement zones where Shil’vati life was standard. By the time it’s colonial authority realized that its day to day operations were in the hands of the Imperial nobility it was far too late. The Imperial legion was landed for special security reasons and the Imperial flag was flown over the capital settlement for the first time. Some escaped this first quiet annexation but the flow was soon stymied by the Imperial Navy, trapping those Vitari that remained without the means to bribe for passage out of the system. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The pleas for intervention fell on distracted and differently motivated ears, the Vitari simply wasn’t a priority versus the wider periphery. At most they achieved a token complaint from the embassy on Shil, one which like so many others was given the smallest nod from the Imperial authority. | ||
| + | |||
| + | With the simple naked fact being that the Glenstat System was only the beginning, the Vitari turned to someone new to the galactic table of powers, one who’d thrown back the Imperium to a degree. Humanity, a species that called a fabled region of space far below the galactic elliptical home and who’d been blundered into by the Imperium. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Until 2845 A.D. on the human calendar the only thing known of them by the Vitari had been rumor, the propaganda of parading of ‘willing’ examples of the species around by the Imperium , and scant intelligence from the Alliance. That had all ended with the discovery of one group of mankind’s first foray into the galactic community. | ||
