The Free Republic of Velanner, an ascendant power in the Archipelago for most of the Interim, was militarily eviscerated in a decisive and completely one-sided conflict with the Hatel Commonwealth. Participant ships include the Messier-class general vehicles Dirty Limerick and Freudian Cigar, the ex-Pesense Druyan-class flagship Community Service, and the Dymaxion-class basestar Paved With Good Intentions. The following year would see an unending discussion by involved civilizations about how to best prevent the Velannese from re-arming, resulting in the Treaty of 2954.
