Probably overdone. The salient point is that a Mensa member constructed a 3D model of their stellar description and by rotating the model, found that from one angle all the model starts correctly lined up with where stars were in the real world…as seen from near ZR.
There may never be a definitive official reveal; the country is stressed enough, and keeping society intact is the priority. I don’t doubt dozens of our troops have already died in combat with the DS and more will follow. God bless them all.
