Itaru System (V’kit’no’sat Capitol)

Wendigama

It had been a little over a day since the Zak’de’ron had arrived, and Neofenn had been given a good seat for the spectacle. The two Star Force Mach’nel were in high orbit around the planet with a view down onto Eldorat as he passed by multiple times given that his lower orbit was a much faster one.

There had been no further discussion for hours, with the massive dragon giving everyone time to digest the information offered to them…and there was a great deal of it. Neofenn had been looking through it himself, as had Anders, and both their crews were helping to sift through the records that appeared to detail failure after failure to survive the Hadarak purges.

The curious thing about them was that none were comprehensive. What was occurring now was more like a Nova spreading out from a star in all directions and consuming the galaxy in a slow, but unstoppable wave of destruction. What had happened in the past was more like solar flares, with the Hadarak moving out to target a region and annihilate it while ringing in the area with pursuers to make sure no one could escape.

And they were damn good at it. The Warden/minion attack force the V’kit’no’sat had been formed to counter was just their cleanup crew, and now that Neofenn had some context as to what he had been seeing over the past years he felt like facepalming. The Wardens were not attack ships, they were simply big, fat tankers so strong they could kill ships on their own if needed. That’s why they didn’t have any ranged weaponry built into them…and their tentacles were built for digging and docking as much as for point defense combat.

The Wardens didn’t just store Essence, they stored raw materials that were either harvested by their minions or dug out of planets and stars directly. While moving through them using gravity drives was possible, the tentacles helped propel them faster, as well as clawing and stirring resource pockets towards their surface where they could be absorbed en mass. And for those really tricky pockets, the tentacles would act like straws that, as long as they got a little surface area to connect, would suck them dry while also being able to deliver minions directly to the spot to chew and digest even more material in the case of a planet.

Tankers. The V’kit’no’sat had been fighting and getting their ass kicked by tankers all these years while the real warships were back in the Deep Core fighting larger enemies…with the emphasis on larger.

A subset of the data was focused on the numerous wars going on inside the Deep Core, an area that no one had any real data on other than what Kara had recently delivered. Eldorat didn’t provide any maps or useful navigational data that Star Force could one day use to fight in there, but he did offer battle records that apparently he had observed but not taken part in…and the fighting was pure carnage.
