THE BLACK LANCE INCIDENT
Admiral Geoffrey Tolwyn, in an effort to maintain Confederation military strength, unleashes a secret plan to cause all-out war between the Confederation and the Border Worlds. Utilizing biogenetically-enhanced soldiers, an array of secret warcraft and materials, and biological weapons, the Black Lance instigate attacks on Confederation civilian targets under the guise of Border Worlds militia. Attacks continue into 2673.

Confederation officers, led by Kilrathi War hero Colonel Christopher Blair and Captain William Eisen, in conjunction with Border Worlds freedom fighters, discover the deep-rooted plans. Operating from the Border Worlds carrier BWS Intrepid, they manage to disrupt the operation long enough for Blair to force Tolwyn into revealing the truth in front of the Terran Assembly. Tolwyn is found guilty of crimes against humanity, and hangs himself while awaiting execution.

THE BLACK LANCE ERADICATED
Following Tolwyn's trial and subsequent suicide, the biogenetic enhancement programs are shut down and facilities destroyed. Elements of the Black Lance are systematically hunted down and eliminated. Despite the possibility that some small pockets of the program may remain hidden away, the Black Lance and their influence are effectively removed as a current and future threat.

KILRATHI PIRATE MENACE
Rogue elements of the Kilrathi military carry out quick strikes against Confederation and mainstream Kilrathi forces in and around the Kilrah System. The new megacarrier TCS Midway is dispatched to eliminate the larger threats, which she succeeds in doing.
