So... Can anyone bring me up to speed on what is happening in the IC?

I have no idea either, but I'll give you an update on what I've done. You can totally just not read this, unless you really, really want to make contact with 1960's America.

So, a Kraikiran nestship ended up in Rissan space and attacked Space New York... I mean Foundation 1. A bunch of civilians and soldiers were abducted, and instead of nuking the ship, the Commander of Foundation 1 ordered all nearby ships to go after the nestship, disable it, and get back the abductees. They've boarded it, and the Commander is irrationally asking an alien for answers with a pistol pointed at his head. Because, you know, aliens all speak his language.

Meanwhile, back on their homeworld, the Rissan version of the Greensboro sit-ins is happening.
