Contention for Resources

2267, April 22nd: After AR scientists discovered a former ECF colony with a Zyther mining operation, the SE attempted to interrupt the AR mission to retrieve Zyther from the mines. However, the SE logistics line was decimated by superior on-target fire by AR AT squads, leaving their air support immobile. The AR used their air superiority to secure more Zyther mounds than their enemy could, although suffering more casualties in the process. Zyther being a valuable resource for wormhole travel, was predominantly secured by the AR; As the more Zyther acquired, the more stable it becomes. AR scientists have what they need - The AR have their first victory over the SE.
