Denichor System (occupation zone)
Karrach (original Hâkar homeworld)
Flynn-046 took in a deep breath of the new worldâs 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 wasnât 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 planetâ¦the first of many to come now that heâd been assigned here on a permanent basis.
Heâd chosen this plain for the simple reason that it wasnât located near to any of the reclamation sites, just a barren bit of landscape untouched by either the Hâkar or the lizards after theyâd conquered their homeworld and rebuilt it into one of the larger fortress worlds rimward of Krachnika. Itâd fallen with more effort than the neighboring systems due in no small part to the presence of a mastermind, but heâd been unable to prevent the beatdown that both Star Force and the Hâkar 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 âcoolâ atmosphere that the Hâkar 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 Hâkar. Theyâd 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 theyâd probably thought theyâd never see it again, let alone inhabit it, he didnât fault them for sentimentality, but the rituals they had wanted to perform heâd already nixed. He hadnât 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, heâd found out. Reclaiming Karrach wasnât the end of their goalsâ¦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 theyâd originally thought, for the Hâkar, now that Karrach had been reclaimed as promised, were joining Star Forceâ¦and they werenât a broken civilization or a scattering of refugees. They were already a massive empire that was about to get a lot bigger.
Star Force hadnât made the invite, and the Hâkar had hinted at such for a long time before finally making the request after getting approval from The Nexus.
