History of the Organization: In the fall of the Vegan Tyranny the Qzin, sent slow scouts and colony missions out to explore nearby worlds. Those plans are starting to come to fruition.<P>The only fly in the ointment is that now the Targets are becoming aware of them. The targets have advanced ships and weapons. One Qzin ship has already been forced to submit. The one Near Earth was destroyed when they attempted to seize a Vergaris trader. A third approaching Vulcan has been forces to submit as well. It was towed back to the Patriarchy.</P><P>The CoD and ADF have made the Patriarchy aware it has fallen into a galaxy of its betters. ADF frigates pounded their military establishments, and slow boat production.
