Alliance of New Beginning was a success. Eleven years up until 2241 mankind regained it's technological strength nearly up to post-dilithium war standards.
But as things were looking up for Earth, James Egg's condition was deteriorating. At age of fifty-one, quite a few ANB officials began to suspect president Egg's sanity, as he kept mentioning that "something should be done about Hell's Gate jump point".
February 3rd 2241 James Egg resigned from his long-term commission as president of ANB. By that day his legendary reputation had spawned a number of high-ranking loyal followers. Thousands joined James Egg as he left Earth, never to stand on it's soil again. He once again head for Hell's Gate III, this time to construct a "Protective hand"; fleet of highly advanced starships to defend Earth against "those who move in the darkness" whom according to Egg's apocalyptic prophecy would arrive sometime before year 2270.
