BC4480-BC2201

In what was expected to be the final chapter in space exploration, the GA builds a cryoshuttle similar to the one that originally brought the faction to power, to make a thousands-year long journey into the heart of the Forbidden Zone, a huge sector of the galaxy where magic does not work and the BioWarp drives are rendered useless. As excitement mounts through all the worlds, the Watchers halt the project just before its launch by destroying the cryoship with a never-before-seen fleet of level three patrol ships, showing in no uncertain terms that the area is off-limits. Outraged, the GA demands a personal audience with them, going so far as to build fleets to search out(and probably destroy) Watcher homeworlds. After searching for hundreds of years, though, the GA is unable to find the Watchers' homeworlds, even after the Forbidden Zone debacle causes many young Watchers to leave their planets and space stations to join the rest of the galaxy. Eventually, the GA gives up on finding them.
