The complement of TAG missiles came under attack by Shivan forces who were outnumbered and outgunned by a ''Deimos''-class corvette. The cargo safely arrived.

	The permanent defeat of the [[Neo-Terra Front]] allowed the GTVA to continue their operations inside the nebula. A Vasudan squadron of fighters and a ''Sobek''-class corvette were attacking Shivan sentry guns and gas miners when a [[SJ Sathanas\|Shivan juggernaut]] emerged and destroyed the Sobek corvette. The power of the ''[[Sathanas]]'' discouraged the alliance. [[Alpha 1]] was tasked with inspecting and acquiring data about the SJ ''Sathanas''. The decoy force won enough time for him to accomplish the task and the main characteristics were determined. Little known to Command was that while they were trying to lure the ''Sathanas'' away from her current position, she had already set course towards GTVA space. The chase continued outside the nebula.

After the [[Knossos]] device was discovered at [[Gamma Draconis]], [[GTVA]] Command sent the ''[[GTD Aquitaine]]'' to scout the area where the [[Knossos]] subspace portal leads.

Upon arrival, the ''Aquitaine'' discovered that where they were sent to is a [[Nebula|nebula]], a vast ionized field that was interfering with sensors and caused a minimal field of sight. Fighter wings were deployed to further scout the vicinity more quickly. One wing suddenly disappeared from sensors and the others encountered Shivan fighters. Dogfights were fought all around the ''Aquitaine''. Alpha wing discovered a Terran cruiser not far away from the ''Aquitaine'', designated at the ''[[NTC Trinity]]''. The ''Trinity'' had defected to the [[NTF]] and was considered hostile. The crew offered surrender and begged for assistance. Terran Command have agreed that the ''Trinity'' must be rescued. The rescue was a failure as [[Shivan]] [[SF Dragon|Dragon-class]] fighters emerged from subspace who outnumbered and outgunned the Terran taskforce. The ''Trinity'' was destroyed along with a number of Terran fighters.

The ''Aqiutaine'' continoued to scout the nebula and discovered two Shivan cruisers nearby. Two Deimos-class corvettes, the GTCv Lysander and the GTCv Actium, assisted by a wing of Hercules Mark II fighters hunted down these targets. The Lysander was then vaporized by a [[SD Ravana|Ravana-class]] destroyer, which jumped in too late to defend her cruiser aides, but before the Terrans withdrew their forces.
