“We have a much larger foe than expected, so I will expect more of you,” Rajamal said to the six military commanders gathered onboard his Zen’zat Na’shor in orbit of the captured Li’vorkrachnika world tasked for research and as an initial base of operations set well within enemy territory, but still on the outer edge of their overall empire. It had been suggested that they should base out of the Sector Capitol, but that made no logistical sense. It was too far away and any necessary supplies could be shipped from there to here easy enough. Making that call had been one of many decisions that he’d made that went against what the council wanted, and he hoped they’d eventually get it through their thick craniums that if he was in command, then he was in command.

“Those of you who show merit in your actions will be rewarded with more work,” he continued. “Those that do not will receive less. I know you want to make this a competition between yourselves, but your purpose here is to eliminate the Li’vorkrachnika. Do not forget that, nor your responsibility to your own troops. Lose any of them and you will be heavily penalized. I want clean assaults, and by clean I mean no casualties and no side projects. These worlds are not there for you to play with. You are to eradicate the infestation and nothing else. These worlds are beyond the sector boundaries, thus they will not become acquisitions. Attack, annihilate, and move on.”

“From what we have discovered, the Li’vorkrachnika grow their worlds along a predetermined escalation protocol. The manufacture of equipment and personnel alters with more advanced units produced on the higher level worlds, particularly a strategic specialist that is extremely rare. At the height of their hierarchy are a dynasty of leaders that rule over the others. They are live birthed, the rest are clones that serve them. The strategists are also clones, but they do not grow them to numbers that would be advantageous. Why this is we have not determined, but it is an untapped potential. Do not underestimate the cunning of the strategists or you may find yourself experiencing light losses.”

“Capture of a strategist is a secondary goal, but is not necessary for the success of the eradication. Their leaders are of no known tactical use, but their capture is also a secondary goal.”

“The Li’vorkrachnika typically use mass engagement tactics and as such have a basic ship design to match, but they also have larger specialized assault units. These should not be an issue for us with our range advantage, but do not try and close with the energy cascade field they utilize. Wait until adequate assets arrive to take it out safely. Also be prepared for multiple attempts at collision maneuvers. It is a common tactic they use when facing superior opponents and they will hurt you if you give them the opportunity.”

“As for ground ops, they will be necessary
