The ruthless Queen-Matriarch lays waste to sector upon sector of inhabited space, sending thousands of swarm squadrons to all corners of the Equestrian nebula on brutal campaigns of conquest and resource extraction. Her fleets are vast and nigh unstoppable, drawing from a bottomless reserve of mindlessly loyal Changeling drones who eagerly hunger for the spoils of war. Even the mighty battle fleets of the formidable Solarian Tyrant have been crushed and shattered by the menacing ebony horde of the Queen-Matriarch’s Black Fleet. Only an impromptu alliance between the star fleets of the New Lunar Republic, Imperial Crystal State, and the minor powers of the Equestrian nebula can hope to oppose the unceasing onslaught of the Changeling horde and bring peace to the war-torn galaxy.
