The Orions gave it some attention during their expansionist era, but the Cartenians were especially vehement in their defense, so they ended up making their major territorial gains elsewhere. | |||
As a result, however, the Cartenian fleet was seriously weakened. This later left the fleet in a weakened state when it was split into the two factions vying for control of the planet.
