The Battle of Bentheim ended in tragedy.
No matter how much the MTA tried to hide the news, it could not shut down the Komodo Star Sector's access to the galactic net forever.
Even if the MTA tried to do so, the starships run by individual captains could just enter the Bentheim System, take a quick peek, and exit as soon as possible to ferry around the observation data to various people.
Therefore, the Comm Consortium soon decided to lift the blockade on the quantum entanglement nodes just in time for everyone tuning in to see the MTA swooping in with thunder and fury!
A much larger MTA battlefleet forcibly broke the system-wide gravitic interdiction field projected by the sandman monoliths through sheer brute force!
A portal that was more powerful and stable than anything anyone had seen before spewed out ship after ship and mech after mech!
