The Anacreon's come to Terminus peacefully to trade, to establish a military base and make Terminus pay for protection. The local systems are unable to maintain their technology and have lost nuclear power other than for their starships. They want the more advanced Terminus technology to help keep control of the local systems.

An Anacreon ship approaches Terminus. The Terminus residents attempt to notify the Empire of the trespass, but their communication system does not work. The Anacreons want Foundation tech and hardware to help get revenge upon the Empire. |
