Colony 257
With the loss of about half of the 1000-numbered Seeder Fleet, the rest of them became very angry. They were destructive when they were passive, and known for wiping out entire civilizations and nations; this is the first time in history that they were all, collectively, truly, pissed off. This was also the first time in history that they ever lost a ship. However, they weren't intimidated. Quite the opposite, in fact.
2 more ships descended to the planet to terraform; within hours, the entire planet began erupting into a giant storm. The atmosphere wasn't yet unbreathable by oxygen-breathing or carbon-dioxide-breathing creatures, though it would soon be that way.
The rest of the ships folded away, like they were done. Half of the remaining ships followed their brothers, and folded to the locations of their brethren attacking EA, now AIF, worlds, already breaking through weak defenses to launch seeds at unsuspecting worlds.
The other half of the ships folded in right on the edge of the AIF fleet, and used a method of turning on the fold systems, then turning off halfway before folding out to speed up to great speeds.
This way, there would be about 250 giant ships flying superfast through a nice, packed-in fleet.
