War against the Jellies

War against the Jellies

4881 - 4884 OTT

In 4881, during the Back-Door War, five Union fleets tried to circumnavigate Kermac Space and attack from the rear. They encountered a Galactic Council Thrall civilization, then known just as the Jellies.

The end result was Union battle ships obliterating sixteen star systems and 23 planets of the Jellies and affecting their extinction by destroying their incubation centers.
