Several invasion attempts all failed at the hooves of the skillful Republican commander, Big Macintosh, who, after defeating the several invasion attempts, grew bold and began his second invasion of the Solar Empire, with the aim of bringing the horrors of the war, which so far had been fought only on Republican soil, to the citizens of the Empire.
