While the Hex Army was on the verge of kicking out the Fortune Legion in the Marrakath System, the Nyxian Gap experienced more tension than ever.
The Peacekeepers and the Nyxian pirates confronted each other much more often.
Driven by greed and other reasons, more and more pirate gangs intruded into civilized space in order to raid the border region of the Sentinel Kingdom and other nearby third-rate states.
In response, the Peacekeeper Association heavily encouraged its affiliate outfits to invade the periphery of the Nyxian Gap!
While the Peacekeeper outfits managed to defeat many pirates, most of the scum they eliminated were decrepit, bottom feeder pirate gangs that rarely possessed any trump cards.
No matter how many incentives they received, the Peacekeepers were very reluctant to move past the outer periphery!
