Na Zego Incident

The Na Zego Incident was a brutal reprisal on the people in and around the Zego star systems.

Backround
When the Back with a Vengeance was teleported into the THDF universe they were low on supplies due to the long campaign they had been waging in the Ancillian system. The planent of Na Zego and its people took them in and gave them food and a warm bed. Savior Team also used the opportunity to upgrade much of their equipment. But soon the Chat showed up and demanded that the members of the Back with a Vengeance either pay a tax or work for the Chat empire as slaves. The Captain Richard Lee saw this as unacceptable and planned to attack the Chat empire.

However, after Savior Team received intelligence from the locals on the size and scope of the Chat Empire it was agreed upon by Richard Lee and the locals that the Richard would prolong the negotiations until a solar flare. Then precisely before the solar flare (which produces an EMP) hits the planet the Back with a Vengeance would escape using its slips-pace drive. When the Captain got out of slip-space and radioed Na Zego he found static. Thinking it was the EMP, the Captain continued on his way to another system, hopefully not controlled by the chat.

However, when the Back with a Vengeance reached the next planet, only a deserted planet and a small ship could be found. After meeting the survivors on the civilian ship Savior Team found out the truth. The Chat had been rendering every planet uninhabitable in a wide arc that centered around Na Zego in retaliation for the civilian cooperation with the Back with a Vengeance. That was also when Savior Team first heard about the resistance and the atrocities the Chat Empire had committed. It wasn't long before the Back with a Vengeance was apart of the resistance with every member fully committed to stopping the Chat and their allies.
