CSIS and DCAE were alerted to a disturbance in Anor Londo, discovering that much of the city's population was missing and that the Terazene Crystal that contained Miraak had vanished, with a cult calling itself the 'Followers of the Void' later claiming responsibility, which the CSIS/DCAE, SDS Foundation, and League of Chaos (though the latter wanted it to ransom it) rushed to hunt down in order to reclaim the crystal, though after a series of failed terrorist attacks near the Polskan Great Archives it was revealed that the FOTV had fled into space, knocking the LOC out of the race for the crystal as both DCAE and SDS sent ships to find it. The SDS deployed its most advanced spacecraft known as the 'Nebula-1' to hunt down the crystal due to the FOTV being a highly militarized group capable of being a threat, having slowly grown in influence in the background since The Divine Resurgence by recruiting from anomalous individuals belonging to various species including Humans, Sangheili, Protoss, and some Theian Natives. The Nebula-1 tracked down the group to a large nebula within an unclaimed region of the Local Bubble, though upon entry many of their systems such as sensors and shields went offline as they passed a massive debris field containing the remains of 10-20 DCAE ships, prompting the Nebula-1 and its complement to enter a defensive formation as well as activating their thaumaturgic shields as something massive appeared to be approaching them, though instead of being a ship it appeared to be a massive spaceborn lifeform known as a 'Zerg Leviathan' being trailed by a flock of the Leviathan's children. Luckily by avoiding the Leviathan's attention, the creature appeared to ignore them as it unfurled its solar-sails which allowed it to access FTL Travel as a natural mechanism, allowing the Nebula-1 and its fleet o search nearby asteroids for the crystal, with the only site of note to be discovered being an abandoned installation which appeared to have been evacuated in a hurry, leaving behind a empty containment room which seemed to once contain the crystal. The SDS fleet marked down its location and continued their journey, though all further analysis appeared to suggest no one was there anymore.
The reports of the FOTV terror-attacks in northern Polsk near the Great Archivees reached the SDS, prompting analysis by Containment-Area-15 which revealed that many attackers possessed anomalous capabilities such as telepathy and 'harnessing Void Energy', though what was initially a series of skirmishes turned into a full-blown crisis as a fleet of FOTV ships invaded and sacked the Hermitage Palace which overwhelmed Polsk's defences, prompting the SDS to deploy MAS Nu-7 and MAS Pi-1 to help disperse the attackers, though they were too late as only a few battles could take place before the FOTV fled the Alpha Sol System (with the OMM secretly following them) with only a few being captured by the SDS and DCAE, though tensions between the SDS and DCAE began rising once more as their 'secret agreement' from the Crimsonist Wars started to grow increasingly unpopular among the SDS.
