The presence of rogue Desolators (massive and extremely destructive automated robot warships from left over from some ancient epoch) throughout the known worlds began to become common knowledge in the mid-02260s and early-02270s with the second infiltration of Terran space by one of these great machines. Only superior cunning on the part of VanGuard warship captains resulted in the human homeworld not being devastated as had happened to so many other worlds.
The Desolators would return centuries later in larger groups utilizing more cohesive tactics, but the groundwork for their later attacks would be laid even in this early era of mankind's journey amongst the stars.

| Desolator vessels, such as the one that attacked the Terran homeworld in 02271 were one of the greatest nightmares ever faced by humanity in the early days of interstellar exploration. Although most galactic citizens think of the later Desolator invasions, even these early incursions by single units were terrifying to those who faced them. |
| Many historians of the time period (and others in retrospect) note that the Desolator Crisis of 02271 was the first time that VanGuard and TerraFleet HomeGuard ships truly worked together since the Kraceen, Felinoid and Galactic War crises of the early to mid-02200s in order to solve a major problem facing Terra. This would ultimately lead to the much stronger Terran fleet dynamics of the 02300s. |
