The Sravs had successfully destroyed a DTM base on Myrkr, and under the guidance of Srav intelligence director Volita Taika and kommissar Laverta Suka DTM sleeper cells and sympathizers within the Srav Federation began to find themselves being purged. As a result of this, the DTM began to relocate assets, moving a base on the moon of Gus Talon to Janna. The Necasian Military, although have suffered several setbacks lately, had managed to consolidate itself after Srav offensive which was weakened when the Sravs had to divert resources to fighting the Taungs. Nevertheless, it had recently lost one of its heroes, Haveer Jarn, considered by many to be the finest Necasian soldier, after he had discovered evidence of Necasian leader Askar Invado's perceived treachery earlier in the war. Jarn had avoided death or capture by Necasian purge squad, had gathered loyalists to him, and made himself scarce. The vague nature of Necasian propaganda on the topic of Jarn's disappearance had confused many Necasian soldiers and eroded morale somewhat. Nevertheless, Askar decided to proceed with operations as planned. He began extending Necasian intelligence, and decided to focus efforts on the DTM, whom he believed were the greater threat due to constant fear and worry among Necasian citizenry over DTM sleeper cells and terror attacks. Necasian agents and SpecOps commandos managed to learn of the DTM transferring operations to Janna. Askar decided to commence an attack on said world, eroding a key DTM installation and dealing what he felt would be a heavy blow to the militant group. Unbeknownst to Askar, the Sravs were also conducting intelligence operations against the DTM. A Necasian agent on Volgis was captured shortly before the battle, and after enduring days of torture revealed Necasian plans to attack Janna. The highest-ranking Srav commander, Ivran Gresev, immediately began formulating a plan for the Sravs to attack the world, eradicating both Necasian and DTM forces there. Srav leader Jasef Yuiln had his reservations, believing the Sravs needed more time to consolidate, but due to his stress Gresev was able to quickly convince him otherwise. Elsewhere, on Corellia, former Necasian officer Janos Snake had organized a meeting of neutral worlds and species, the Zayre among them, having been convinced a year before that the war needed to ended by any means necessary. In that time, he had convinced said governments to pledge military strength to a new coalition government to establish law and order. Military designs were provided by former technicians of the Simiyar Tech corporations, dissolved not long before after the destruction of its homeworld Simiyar. Manpower was provided by mercenary organizations and said governments, and although military strength of Snake's new government was comparatively low, Snake believed that it was compensated by extensive EMP and ECM technology provided by the Simiyar techs. Announcing this new alliance as the United Coalition of Worlds, Snake made sure that the galaxy at large was not immediately aware of this, biding his time and waiting for the right time for it to make an entrance.
