Third Felinoid Campaign-02340s

After two major previous campaigns against Felinoid xenoaliens (the T'Garan conflicts of the early 02200s) a third offshoot of this once widespread species was encountered in the 02340s with similar results.  The P'tharan War was short and violent, with VanGuard forces pushing all the way back to the P'tharan homeworld, which was home to a powerful Cosmic Oracle.  It was discovered that the armored reptilian race called the Rex were trying to occupy the P'tharan homeworld, and as they were allied to the TranStellar Federacy the VanGuard fleet had been drawn into the conflict.  After the war ended an uneasy truce was enforced by the presence of a single VanGuard ship and a corresponding P'tharan vessel patrolling the Armistice Zone at all times. 

The P'Tharans were a significant opponent and despite the brevity of the conflict their forces inflicted major damages against the VanGuard fleet.

The P'Tharans operated numerous types of combat starships, including flotillas of small frigates and destroyers that proved optimal for attacking VanGuard and other allied vessels.  This conflict was to prove to be a foreshadowing event for the major Felinoid wars of the 02600s. 

P'Tharan ships were large and powerful, as this formidable race had acquired various technologies from other galactic powers via a variety of methods.  With their withering attack on the Rex, who were TransFederacy allies at the time, the VanGuard was brought in and a short, but devastating war ensued.

P'Tharans had a practice of acquiring various starships and technologies from other galactic powers and then using these same units against them.  Their smaller warships were often used as raiding vessels operating in the very regions of space were they had originally been manufactured as a ploy to confuse potential victims.
