Ah, I was definitely too tired last night. I see your point. Unfortunately there seems to be nothing told about the strength and success of this earlier invasion.

That's a sensible take on it. I'll propably run with that since there really doesn't seem to be any contradicting evidence.
It can't have been a very _lunar_ invasion, no matter what the Sartarites say. The Redline History doesn't even make a note of it. The only event in 1591 is the beginning of the "thaw" in Fronela.
So propably we are talking of a Tarshite invasion, with a token lunar presense. Tarsh is a major power in the region, and quite capable of such a military venture, of course.
Yes, this looks quite sensible so far.
