The end of the war should bring peace, right?

In the midst of what should be a time of celebration, Halberd is called to duty to respond to a surprise threat. His task force of three Royal Navy ships that employ advanced technology is needed to counter an attack in a non-aligned system. Taking advantage of Halberd’s absence and a Royal Navy weakened by war, the other inter-stellar superpower, the Chinese Republics, invades the Commonwealth.

Provided by a traitor with the technology that provided the Royal Navy with the edge it needed to win the war with the Rodinan Federation, the Republican navy obliterates a good chunk of the fleet, and nearly wins the war in the first battle. Outnumbered, the Commonwealth’s survival is in doubt. The Royal Navy is forced to bring warships out of mothballs in order to mount a defense.

Hope do you keep your hopes alive in the face of such losses?
