One time while playing SEIII I had conquered about 1/5 of the galaxy. I was at war with every other race in the galaxy. I had a ton of stabases defending my one warp point out of my space. Suddenly I get attacked. Literally hundreds of ships came through the warppoint at once. Fortunately they split up and I was able to stop them. With each victory though I took a little more damage. Soon they had fleets of thirty ships at a time coming into my space. Eventually my main defense fleet was smashed. They crushed their way through every my next two systems defenses, I watched as more and more ships piled into my spase, and then when it looked as though most of their ships were in my space. Defense plan B: Destroy the star. Sure I lost my planets, but the people died for the empire! This went on through all of my space untill just one system was left. One ship, a mutha class carrier, stood in orbit of the capitol of that system, and then a fleet of twenty waships entered into my space.... then turned around and left. They never returned to finish the job. I rebuilt my fleet back to its glorious standards, rebuilt my defenses, and quickly moved out. Five Mutha carriers and various other ships on the move. Because there was nothing but asteriods most of the way there wasn't that much trouble going the full length of our once glorious empire. By the time we reached the outer edges we found that steller manipulation had alread began. We sloughtered those few ships still in our space and quickly established a resupply base. It was a long hard fight after that, but we held the line reestablished our great empire.
