The dust storm that is expected to last over half a year and cover most of the Alien Planet has idled many people on the Alien Planet, yet they are not relaxed; instead, they feel restless.
"Why do you seem so anxious?" A new recruit asked, mustering courage to question a veteran: "We indeed can't launch an attack on the Empire due to the dust storm, but the Empire can't attack us either."
A veteran shook his head helplessly.
"The war hasn't stopped because of the dust storm; rather, it has become fiercer than before."
"Huh? Why?"
The veteran patiently explained.
In the past, there have been many such dust storms on the Alien Planet, but they couldn't completely cover the Alien Planet. Aside from a few remote areas with harsh environments far from the Mountain of Gods and Scarred Gorge, which already lack human and Ape traces and have not been touched by war; the dust storms don't halt the Federation and Empire wars on the Alien Planet.
