Elnath is on the outskirts of the Hyades Cluster. Scientists claim it is not part of the Hyades at all, but its commanding position made it the gateway to the Hyades. We had to take it, but the approaches were not easy. The sub giant stars Asta and Cornus lay between Sunnydale and Elnath, and most of the best hyperspace runs ran through one of those two systems. Asta was on a direct line between them, which made it an obvious first target. That is why our first target was the brighter and hotter Cornus. We opened up with increased raids against the systems around Asta, destroying every monitoring platform we could find during a month-long campaign. Then we attacked Cornus. Their surprise was almost as complete as our destruction of every facility in the entire Cornus system.
