Conquest Fleet

The Conquest Fleet, commanded by Fleetlord Atvar, was the Race's main military formation and the unit which attempted to conquer Tosev 3 in the 1940s. The males (the Conquest Fleet was all-male, one of the only incidents of gender discrimination in the Race's culture) of the Conquest Fleet were the first members of the Race to encounter the culture shock the planet offered them. They fought a costly war against the major Tosevite powers which ended in an uneasy truce. Ginger abuse became widespread throughout the Conquest Fleet, and the Conquest Fleet's members introduced the drug to civilians. Those members of the Race who had not endured the Conquest Fleet's experiences found these males "addled," irrevocably damaged by their exposure to the degenerate culture of Tosev 3. They were also widely blamed for the Race's failure to conquer the entire planet.

In the Race's history, two other Conquest Fleets had been dispatched, one to Rabotev 2 and one to Halless 1. Unlike the Tosevite fleet, both of these easily completed their missions to conquer their respective planets.
