SylvrDragon said:Actually, the only fleet that handed them their butts was EA. The Abbai, Vree and Drazi were decimated by them. They begged the EA to get involved because EA was the only they thought could stop them, and they did just that.
Hmm... I didn't see that - I was reading both Dilgar supplements and that didn't come up. There were some battles were they are in them in a small fashion.
"In early 2230, the Dilgar War began in earnest. The Dilgar made their first strikes at targets to the galactic southwest of Omelos, moderately developed worlds which had previously escaped destruction at the Dilgar’s hands. Many were just simple outposts or colony planets held by League members but a handful were independent worlds, without colonies or allies on which to call."
"The Garasoch heavy carrier and a sleek new strike cruiser made their first appearances in a series of battles which took the Dilgar deep into League space, seemingly unstoppable in their assault. It was during one of these encounters that the Dilgar inadvertently destroyed the visiting EAS Persephone. The vessel was merely returning from preliminary talks with a number of League races and, seeing little need to outrage the humans unnecessarily, the Dilgar at once apologised, taking the opportunity to placate human concerns about reports of brutality emerging from League worlds at the same time."
Here is the beginning of the war for the EA:
"EarthForce began serious investigation of the Dilgar’s war practices and offered protection to numerous League worlds. In doing so, EarthForce knew full well their entry to the war was close at hand."
"Where the destruction of the Persephone had been entirely accidental, the Dilgar’s next assault on Earth Alliance forces would not be. Moving in-system at Malax, the Dilgar discovered the system defended not merely by its own native inhabitants but also by a considerable EA contingent. Earth policy was cautious and voice contact was made with the Dilgar, offering them the chance to declare their intent. The Dilgar did so by opening fire and in a haze of bolter fire, humankind had entered its first intergalactic war."
Thats where I was getting my info.
