@Monet: Before that, the Hands also pretty much destroyed the (much weakened) Unified Hegemony of Andromeda out of revenge. Of course, that's Patriot's intention, but I can imagine the DI won't be all too happy about a fellow PAE state being destroyed, which might be the point they switch over from a policy of appeasement to executing shirmishes on the Hand's forces. This would force him to retreat from Andromeda back to Mirus, leaving some parts of the Hegemony to survive (which Patriot also intends), and from there on, you get the Borealum crisis in which the Hand attempts, and fails, to take out Eldarisia and France.
