    The truce is broken. Geir’s humanity is beyond saving. It seems the Aliens have been influencing him all along, and now they’ve gotten what they want: the chance to spread their plague.

The Rebellion prepares to journey deep into the darkness of the Unknown Sectors. They prepare - one final time - for war with General Geir.

## Description

Eradication is the 33rd Major event to occur in VEGA Conflict. It is the first event to introduce a Specialist class Hull as the top prize. It ended with the death of General Geir and with it, the end of the Xeno Division.
