Two massive changes took place shortly after Ves formed a highly unstable Blood Pact.
One of them was the Red Fleet's inexplicable decision to glorify Supreme Marshal Caramond Perle.
This was an incredibly random and unexpected move from one of the powers that made up the Red Two.
The fleeters generally did not do anything without a specific purpose in mind. This was why many leaders across human-occupied space became surprised when all of the channels that the Second Main Fleet could leverage had dropped all of their priorities in favor of espousing the heroism of one of humanity's greatest heroes!
It would have been more understandable if all of the media and publicity departments scheduled these events in advance.
However, a lot of people became confronted by fleeter propaganda without any warning or explanation!
