The war wasn't going well. The "bugs" had overrun planet after planet..and they regarded all intelligent species as convenient protein sources. Defeat was not an option. The Grand Alliance of Humans, Orions, Ophiuchi, and Gorm, united in desperate self-defense, have been driven to the wall. Billions of civilians have been slaughtered and their most powerful offensive operation ended in shattering defeat. Despite all the glorious victories, the bugs just keep coming.
But the Grand Alliance will never surrender-even if it means reactivating General Directive 18, however horrible it might be.
