Years ago, the Naraku had lost one of their splinter fleets. It was by no means the largest of the Naraku Hive Fleets, but its power alone was enough to go virtually unimpeded across the Milky Way as a whole. Yet Terminus was defeated, and the other Naraku Hive Fleets had learned of this only recently.
