Reclamation

May 19, 3402

Denichor System (occupation zone)

Karrach (original H’kar homeworld)

Flynn-046 took in a deep breath of the new world’s air, soaking it in for a moment before he took off running across the stubby grass clumps that covered the flat plain he stood upon. He wasn’t wearing armor or even a standard uniform, just a pair of shorts and running shoes in the 103F heat as he began his first workout on this planet…the first of many to come now that he’d been assigned here on a permanent basis.

He’d chosen this plain for the simple reason that it wasn’t located near to any of the reclamation sites, just a barren bit of landscape untouched by either the H’kar or the lizards after they’d conquered their homeworld and rebuilt it into one of the larger fortress worlds rimward of Krachnika. It’d fallen with more effort than the neighboring systems due in no small part to the presence of a mastermind, but he’d been unable to prevent the beatdown that both Star Force and the H’kar fleet had put on it. Now that was all over as the invasion fleets pressed on, leaving this planet and the rest of the system in reclamation mode.

Except now he was here, running across the uncivilized barrens of Karrach and getting a feel for the ‘cool’ atmosphere that the H’kar had developed in as a string of transports could be seen coming down from orbit to a position west of his on the plain. It was miles away, but the flow of ships was continuous as they deposited cargo and personnel that would begin rebuilding the planet.

It was an abnormally important acquisition for the H’kar. They’d been taking their planets back from the lizards for a while now, but none had been reinhabited with more than supply bases. All had stayed in the possession of Star Force as they were gradually cleaned up, until now. Karrach was almost sacred to them, and given the fact that they’d probably thought they’d never see it again, let alone inhabit it, he didn’t fault them for sentimentality, but the rituals they had wanted to perform he’d already nixed. He hadn’t come here to watch them waste time with a bunch of pageantry, but rather to put them to work.

And work they were eager for as well, he’d found out. Reclaiming Karrach wasn’t the end of their goals…they wanted to rebuild it and reestablish their old homeland, this system and others, and fully take back all that the lizards had stolen from them. Flynn was going to help them do that, but not in the way they’d originally thought, for the H’kar, now that Karrach had been reclaimed as promised, were joining Star Force…and they weren’t a broken civilization or a scattering of refugees. They were already a massive empire that was about to get a lot bigger.

Star Force hadn’t made the invite, and the H’kar had hinted at such for a long time before finally making the request after getting approval from The Nexus.
