## Event Overview

In the depths of Alien-controlled space, Ancient Outposts are becoming more numerous by the day. A silent reminder that this is an evil stretching far beyond what the Rebellion has seen thus far.

Rhea has completed work on her new Vindicator Cutter, anticipating the next phase of Alien reinforcements on the horizon. The Rebellion must be ready for anything, or it will be reduced to nothing.

## Trivia

* This is the first event to introduce the Ancient Hives, which are actually much larger than normal ones.
* This event does not offer Bluetail Drones despite it being the monthly event.
* Due to the high adoption rate of Time Tokens in the concurrent Planet Strike, Time Token prizes were later added to this event.
