It is a sobering sight for all Jenquai -- Typotl Maw overrun by the V'rix. Only the Hideyoshi Maru and the Nakon Maru remain to defend the strategic outpost. The wreckage of the Tonatiuh Maru, Hosokawa Maru, and the Teoyaomqui Maru rest nearby.

Shinwa leader Silva has recalled many Defenders back to Swooping Eagle in response to this attack. Kokura leader Gray Feather remains at Typotl Maw and continues to battle the V'rix. But with the introduction of what has been dubbed the "Helkos" class fighter, the Defenders will have their work cut out for them.

But with the Shinwa and the Kokura concentrating their efforts on Swooping Eagle, is the Capella System vulnerable to invasion? Recent reports have indicated that the defences in Yokan, Dahin, and Kitara's Veil are light at best. The Kailaasa sector is home to the Sha'ha'dem explorers and First Emissary Kathrada herself. Kailaasa is protected by Paren Station, which has had an increasing number of defences added to it over the past few months, and many Sha'ha'dem ships frequent the sector. Kailaasa is also very important since in it dwells one of only two Jenquai shipyards.

Although the Spaceborn at Paren Shipyard continue to increase ship production, it may not be enough if the V'rix go after Capella. Several defense officals have commented that the new Mevri Drones should be spread throughout Capella instead of being concentrated in Vishao's Cove.

Will the Defenders be able to hold off the V'rix? And if they fail, what will become of Capella?
