yep the bug war. On the Baen edition P587, in one of the systems that must be defended the bugs think on how their systems has 4 warppoints, not just the 3 visible. A new race appeared through it, thus giving away it's location, but the bugs only need 1 gunboat to conquer the enemy. They deem the new planet the planet which must be concealed. They send a colony to the planet but can't send more in case the allies see it. The colony must never use that warppoint again. Later as they are about to be exterminated the last bug planet learns of the hidden colony, and takes some hope that at least some will survive, albeit hidden away.
