The New England Federation recalled their entire exploration fleet for refitting after New Washington. They systematically recalled every ship in their boneyards to rebuild them and send them back out as well. They devoted every measure of their vast manufacturing capabilities to the goal of driving the Shang back. If the Shang would not respect the position of the Great Families, the Great Families would not accept their presence on our side of the galaxy. Admiral Aneerin said “The galaxy is not vast enough for their combined egos to coexist.” He was right. The Federation mass-produced cutting edge warship designs from starfighters to battleships to fleet carriers, and helped develop new designs to throw them at our alien foes as well. The Federation devoted decades of effort to that singular goal. To drive the Shang out of our space, no matter the cost.
