The final battle of Viola Magnifica had begun just before the start of the fourth year of the Age of Dawn.
The native aliens had completed their preparations and began to advance on the planet that had frustrated them for so long.
The human defenders had done their best to prepare, but the fighting that took place in the months preceding to this momentous day had continually worn down a portion of the orbital defense network and the mech forces that sought to hold the native aliens back.
Although every offensive push made by the aliens caused them to lose a lot more hardware and lives than their human adversaries, the calculus was still in their favor due to their heavy numerical advantage!
Now that numerous powerful ace pilots abided by the orders of High Human Command and transferred to the much more strategically important Upper Zones, the native alien commanders behind in the Middle Zones recognized an excellent opportunity to make a lot of inroads into the Middle Zones.
