Director Sean Davis, the oldest Human in existence despite his young physical appearance, sat at his desk atop the tallest spire in the city of Atlantis located in the Pacific Ocean on a mostly depopulated Earth…at least compared to what it had once been. Before the Vargemma attack it had hosted a Human population over 23 billion, but now it was less than 1, and that was by design.

Earth was the capitol of the Empire, and one that had been completely destroyed before…the surface population anyway. Destroying the rocky planet would have been another thing entirely, though not impossible, but that would have been work for a pack of heidoor that lived in space and ate chunks of planets, not for an invasion force.

Now that invasion force was working for them, in that the Vargemma who had destroyed the population of Earth and nearly Davis himself were now part of the Empire in at least a quasi way. They couldn’t leave the Temples without Star Force’s permission, and they were far too dangerous to let roam around non-Essence users away from the watchful monitoring of the Caretakers.

But since Star Force had taken control of the Temples in this galaxy the relationship with the Vargemma had slowly improved, and from them they had drawn recruits to create the Varkemma, who were firmly loyal to the Empire. The rest of the Vargemma continued to live in the huge Temples and either not care about what was beyond or simply had no way to access it. For while each of the Temples held the landmass equal to thousands of planets, it was technically still a prison, and those inside didn’t have the access codes necessary to get out save for a select few.

When the Neofan had come things had changed drastically, first for the better, then the worst, then the better again, with huge amounts of Essence being produced by the Vargemma above and beyond their normal donations and that being sent out to refill ship and planetary wells that the Uriti production of Essence couldn’t keep up with, for combating the Jaeggers virtually required Essence weaponry and shields unless they broke their ships down so small you could handle them with conventional weaponry.

The Asferja had no Essence skills or tech, and Greg-073, who was acting as the point-man for the entire Asferja invasion corridor, was trying to use as little Essence weaponry as possible to conserve it for higher level threats later, but the V’kit’no’sat were blowing through their reserves like crazy, because these damn Jaegers had traveled here in artificially created planets with probably better defenses than even Earth had at the moment.

And that wasn’t a small amount. The Essence-based planetary shields here were the strongest in the Empire. Davis had made sure of that after the planet had been wiped out in a single Essence attack. And now Mak’to’ran had to fight not just a surface civilization, but a planet-sized volume of technology
