The order was given and then—
It happened.
The entire Universe came to an abrupt halt, the gates that had been opened to the entire Universe for trade for trillions of years began to close.
And its impact—
It was huge.
The border worlds had it the worst, they were the ones who were most active when it came to trading outside the domain of Light.
It had become the reason they thrived.
But now—
That trading was banned. The outbound travel was suspended. Orders to turn away foreign ships were given.
It had become obvious.
The Light Worlds were now in complete lockdown.
The outsiders that were in the Light Territories were offered seventy-two hours to leave, and if they did not leave in the given time, force would be used.
Light made it very clear.
And the rule was the same regardless of who you were or what you belonged to, be it the Eternity Faction, Darkness Faction, the Balance Faction, or even those who didn't belong to any Faction.
