The Battle of Xiphard Base started off with discord.
Many Crona Lords had the illusion that their base had just been visited by hundreds of invisible and completely unnoticeable infiltrators, assassins and saboteurs.
The sheer extent of the sabotage affecting so much vital equipment and parts couldn't have been done by a single covert strike squad.
Far too many systems that the Crona Lords depended upon to guard their base had all failed!
Some never came online. Others blew up once their power levels rose. The remainder worked normally, but the pirates in charge of operating didn't know whether they remained that way!
A huge wave of distrust spread amongst the pirates. Some of the more suspicious ones even started to eye each other with distrust!
The sheer depth and breath of the sabotage caused them to think that a massive conspiracy might be afoot.
What if the sabotage hadn't been performed by a large number of invisible enemies?
