### Outcome

Defeat of both 8472 queens in fluidic space and containment of the subspace ruptures.

## Brief Summary

Starting with the emergence of subspace rift gates Species 8472 began making small scouting operations throughout the known galaxy. These small 'Seeker' class vessels and the larger 'Defender' class vessels sought out starships from the surrounding area and upon disabling them returned with the vessel to a secured location. On multiple attempts to rescue these vessels by many parties 8472 proved to have a fast response time and was able to increase the difficulty of these rescue operations. Over time, the scale of the 8472 incursions became an invasion and Starfleet took notice of the threat and commanded a unified research task force under ***Admiral Julian McGregor*** to research countermeasures to the growing 8472 threat. The 8472 gates began to not only be defended by Seeker and Defender class vessels but also 'Overlord' class and 'Planet killer' class vessels began to meet the increasing galactic challenge to their raids and attacks. Thankfully for the galaxy at large Admiral McGregor and the scientists in the Federation developed weapon modifications for ships which when used reduced the relative strength of their biological armor. Eventually, all involved alliances secured the gates in their regions and in a coordinated fashion entered Fluidic Space and defeated both 'Queens" ending and containing the threat.

### Specific Details

The first known gate to be secured (to my knowledge: Lucas) was in SOT space in the far west. After suffering devastating counter attacks and having several fleets worth of ships disabled their fleets rallied and successfully secured the gate in their space.

As there was no gate in or anywhere remotely near the borders of ***The Triumvirate-GFL Confederation*** their fleets secured a gate on the far side of the Bajoran Wormhole (at this time the Bajoran Wormhole was stable enough to allow all ships through it) about 2 days travel from Trium-core. Trium-GFL were the first faction to theorize and deploy in action 'WMD's against the 8472 invaders which was reported to other contacts across the galaxy and replicated with similar success. Once in fluidic space Fleets from ***The Royal Manticoran Navy*** and ***The German Empire*** were the first to leave the relative safety of the combined galactic armada and cleared a path further into the region which was quickly taken advantage of by the other powers. Proceeding south over the next few days the two navies along with support from the ***Imperial Andermani Navy*** and the Federation successfully defeated the Southern Queen.

Suffering initial setbacks when attacking the Northern Queen it was quickly determined that it had been strengthened in some way after the destruction of the Southern Queen which caused a significant slowdown, the forces of The Allied Alliances at first bravely assaulted the region on their own but suffered a relative stalemate due to the escalation of force. A combined force of both The Allied Alliances and The Dell Syndicate ultimately defeated the Northern Queen and with it contained the threat and ended the invasion.
