## Trivia

* It is the sequel to Independence. Unlike that event, the event targets in this one do not aggro at all.
* During the 1st iteration, its event sector was messed up by Void Strike as they linked to the same wormholes, as a result, both events were extended by 4 hours.
* Blitz has been enabled on the Envoy fleets since the 3rd iteration. The previous iterations only had that feature on the Captain fleets.
* Liberatus targets were added to the event in the 4th iteration.
* Spectre build and refit tokens were added in the 7th iteration to allow players to catch up in preparation for the introduction of Tier 10 in Transversal.
* There was a bug during the 9th Retrograde that caused fleets to be stuck in the Retrograde sector. KIXEYE fixed the problem by closing and then reopening the Event sector. They also compensated with a 24 hour repair discount for all players.
* In the second version of **Retrograde** event, which was from the twelfth Retrograde according to the wiki, there were new changes, especially the event targets: Frontline Envoy targets were removed; Altairian, Pharmakon and Umbra Captain targets were from level 200 to level 160; the old Liberatus Captain was from level 220 to level 200; the new Liberatus Captain (220) and Astral Barony Captain (240) targets were added.
