The Vani had never known war. For 10,00000:00:03
years, their civilization had grown on00:00:06
Sarah, a world of gentle winds and soft00:00:09
light. Their bodies were thin and00:00:11
delicate, built for a planet with low00:00:13
gravity and calm weather. They had00:00:15
created beautiful music, written poems00:00:18
that made other species weep, and built00:00:21
cities that looked like frozen dreams.00:00:25
They had no weapons. They had no00:00:27
soldiers.00:00:29
They had never needed them. Then the00:00:31
craft dominion came. The first ships00:00:33
appeared in the sky like black wounds in00:00:35
the clouds. Thei watched with curiosity00:00:38
at first. They had met other species00:00:41
before. Traders and scholars who came to00:00:44
study their art. But these ships were00:00:46
different. They were covered in spikes00:00:49
and cannons. They blocked out the sun.00:00:52
High counselor Tevin stood on the00:00:54
balcony of the great hall and watched00:00:55
his world begin to burn. Craft soldiers00:00:58
poured from landing craft, their armor00:01:01
thick and their weapons hot. They did00:01:04
not come to trade. They did not come to00:01:07
learn. They came to take everything. The00:01:09
screaming started within the first hour.00:01:12
Vani ran through the streets. Their long00:01:15
limbs carrying them as fast as they00:01:17
could move, but they were not fast00:01:19
enough. The Krath were hunters by00:01:22
nature, and they enjoyed the chase.00:01:25
Buildings fell. Families were torn00:01:28
apart. Children cried for parents who00:01:31
would never answer. Tevin gathered what00:01:33
remained of his council in an00:01:34
underground chamber. They were all00:01:36
shaking. Some were injured. All were00:01:39
terrified. We must call for help. Said00:01:43
adviser Sailor, her voice barely a00:01:45
whisper. Someone must answer. Someone in00:01:49
the galaxy must care. Tean nodded00:01:51
slowly. They had a communication array,00:01:55
old and rarely used. It could send a00:01:58
signal across the stars, a cry for help00:02:00
to anyone who might listen. But who00:02:03
would come? Thei had no allies. They had00:02:07
no military value. They were artists and00:02:10
thinkers, not warriors. Send the signal,00:02:14
Tavan said. Send it to everyone. Tell00:02:17
them what is happening. Beg them to00:02:20
come. The signal went out into the00:02:22
darkness of space. It carried the sounds00:02:25
of explosions and crying children. It00:02:28
carried the voice of Tevon speaking in00:02:30
the common galactic tongue. Asking for00:02:33
anyone to save them. It traveled past00:02:35
dead moons and empty systems. It passed00:02:38
through nebula and asteroid fields. Most00:02:40
species ignored it. Some listened and00:02:43
turned away.00:02:44
The Volani were not worth the trouble,00:02:47
but the signal also reached a small00:02:49
station orbiting a blue and green planet00:02:51
called Earth. Commander Danny Harper was00:02:54
drinking his third cup of coffee when00:02:55
the alert came through. He was tired. He00:02:59
had been working a double shift,00:03:01
monitoring communications from across00:03:03
the sector. Most of it was routine00:03:05
traffic, shipping manifests, and00:03:07
diplomatic chatter. But this signal was00:03:09
different. His computer flagged it as a00:03:12
priority distress call. Dany put down00:03:14
his coffee and listened. The recording00:03:17
was filled with static, but he could00:03:19
hear voices underneath. Alien voices,00:03:23
high and musical, twisted with fear. He00:03:27
heard explosions. He heard what sounded00:03:29
like children screaming. Then he heard00:03:32
words in broken common tongue. Please,00:03:35
anyone. They are killing us. We have no00:03:38
weapons.00:03:40
We cannot fight. Please help us, please.00:03:43
Dany felt something cold settle in his00:03:45
stomach. He had heard distress calls00:03:48
before. He had heard ships breaking00:03:51
apart and crews saying goodbye to their00:03:53
families. But this was different. This00:03:56
was an entire civilization begging for00:03:58
its life. He forwarded the signal to his00:04:00
superior officer and added a note.00:04:04
Immediate attention required. Admiral00:04:06
Laura Kent received the message in her00:04:08
office aboard the command station. She00:04:11
was 62 years old with gray hair cut00:04:13
short and scars on her hands from00:04:15
battles she rarely talked about. She had00:04:17
commanded ships in three interstellar00:04:19
conflicts. She had lost friends,00:04:22
soldiers, and parts of herself that00:04:24
would never grow back. She was tired of00:04:26
war, but when she listened to the00:04:28
recording, she felt something wake up00:04:30
inside her. Something old and fierce.00:04:33
She played the recording three times.00:04:36
She studied the star charts and00:04:37
identified the source, a system called00:04:40
Sarah, home to a species called thei.00:04:44
Her intelligence files told her00:04:45
everything she needed to know. Thei were00:04:48
peaceful. They had no military. They00:04:51
were being attacked by the craft00:04:52
dominion, a brutal empire that conquered00:04:54
weak species for resources and slaves.00:04:57
Admiral Kent closed her eyes and thought00:04:59
about what to do. The Vani were00:05:02
strangers. They had never helped00:05:04
humanity. They had never even contacted00:05:07
humanity. There was no treaty, no00:05:10
alliance, no obligation. Earth could00:05:13
ignore the signal and no one would blame00:05:15
them. She opened her eyes and reached00:05:17
for her communicator. This is Admiral00:05:19
Kent, she said. Authorization code 7700:05:23
alpha. I am ordering the activation of00:05:26
the 9inth Fleet. All ships are to begin00:05:29
combat preparations immediately.00:05:32
We deploy in 12 hours. The order spread00:05:35
like fire through the military network.00:05:38
Across human colonies, warships began to00:05:40
wake from their docks. Engineers ran to00:05:43
their stations. Pilots climbed into00:05:46
cockpits. Soldiers received deployment00:05:48
notices on their personal devices and00:05:50
began packing their gear. Sergeant Kyle00:05:53
Morrison was in a bar on Mars when his00:05:55
communicator buzzed.00:05:57
He looked at the message and felt his00:05:59
heart beat faster. Full deployment,00:06:02
combat expected. He finished his drink,00:06:05
paid his tab, and walked out into the00:06:07
red dust of the Martian evening. Kyle00:06:09
had been a Marine for 15 years. He had00:06:12
fought on worlds with acid rain and00:06:14
worlds with no air at all. He had lost00:06:17
friends in battles that most civilians00:06:18
would never hear about. He was tired,00:06:20
like all old soldiers were tired. But he00:06:23
was also ready. He was always ready. He00:06:26
gathered his squad at the deployment00:06:28
center. They were young, most of them,00:06:30
with eager eyes and nervous hands.00:06:33
Private Ben Torres was only 22, fresh00:06:36
from training. Medic Meghan Cross was00:06:38
25, with steady hands and a calm voice.00:06:41
Private Lisa Harding was 23, small but00:06:44
fierce, with the highest accuracy scores00:06:47
in her class. Kyle looked at them and00:06:49
felt the weight of responsibility settle00:06:51
on his shoulders. These were his people00:06:54
now. He would bring them home or he00:06:57
would die trying. Listen up, he said. We00:07:01
have a mission. There is a species00:07:04
called thei on a world called Sarath.00:07:07
They are being attacked. They cannot00:07:09
defend themselves. We are going to help00:07:12
them. Private Torres raised his hand.00:07:14
Sergeant, why us? Why are we helping00:07:17
strangers? Kyle thought about the00:07:19
question for a moment. It was a fair00:07:21
question. Humans had enough problems of00:07:23
their own. They had their own enemies,00:07:25
their own struggles, their own worlds to00:07:28
protect. Why risk their lives for aliens00:07:30
they had never met? Because they asked,00:07:32
Kyle said finally.00:07:35
Because they are dying, and they called00:07:37
for help. And because we are humans, we00:07:41
answer. The squad was quiet for a00:07:43
moment. Then Taurus nodded and the00:07:45
others nodded with him. That was enough.00:07:49
That was all the reason they needed. 1200:07:52
hours later, the ninth fleet left Earth00:07:54
space. 47 warships carrying thousands of00:07:58
soldiers sailed into the darkness00:08:00
between stars. They were called the Iron00:08:03
Tide, and they were coming for the00:08:05
Crath. In the underground chamber on00:08:07
Sarah, High Counselor Tevin huddled with00:08:09
the survivors and prayed to gods he was00:08:12
not sure existed. The signal had gone00:08:15
out days ago. No one had answered. No00:08:18
one was coming. He did not know that00:08:20
help was already on its way. He did not00:08:23
know that the most dangerous species in00:08:25
the galaxy had heard his cry. He did not00:08:28
know that the Deathworlders were coming.00:08:30
But he would learn soon enough. The00:08:32
Craraft Dominion had conquered 4300:08:34
worlds. Their empire stretched across an00:08:37
entire arm of the galaxy. Built on the00:08:40
bones of weaker species, they had never00:08:43
lost a war. They had never met an enemy00:08:45
they could not crush. Commander Vexar00:08:48
stood on the bridge of his flagship and00:08:50
watched his fleet orbit the conquered00:08:51
world of Sarah. Everything was going00:08:53
according to plan. Thei had been easy to00:08:56
break. They had no weapons, no training,00:08:59
no will to fight. His soldiers had swept00:09:02
through their cities like fire through00:09:04
dry grass. Soon the resource extraction00:09:07
would begin. Thei would be sorted into00:09:10
workers and breeding stock. Their00:09:12
beautiful cities would be torn down to00:09:14
make room for mining equipment. Another00:09:16
world would be added to the Dominion's00:09:18
collection. Vexar was thinking about his00:09:20
promotion when his sensor officer made a00:09:22
strange sound. Commander, the officer00:09:25
said, his voice uncertain.00:09:28
We are detecting ships entering the00:09:30
system. Vexar frowned. What ships? Thei00:09:34
have no fleet. They are not ships,00:09:37
commander. The signatures are unknown.00:09:40
They are coming from the outer edge of00:09:42
the system. Vexar walked to the sensor00:09:44
station and looked at the display. He00:09:47
saw 47 contacts all moving in tight00:09:50
formation. They were big ships, heavily00:09:53
armed. Their design was unlike anything00:09:56
he had seen before. Identify them, he00:09:59
ordered. The sensor officer worked his00:10:01
controls.00:10:02
The computer searched its database.00:10:05
Then a name appeared on the screen and00:10:08
the officer went very still. Commander,00:10:11
he said quietly. They are human ships.00:10:14
Vexar felt something cold touch his00:10:16
spine. He had heard stories about00:10:18
humans. Everyone had heard stories. They00:10:22
came from a world called Earth, a death00:10:25
world with crushing gravity and extreme00:10:27
temperatures. The air was thick with00:10:29
oxygen, which most species found00:10:31
poisonous.00:10:33
The surface was covered with predators,00:10:35
diseases, and natural disasters.00:10:38
Everything on Earth tried to kill00:10:40
everything else. And somehow, humans had00:10:43
not only survived on this nightmare00:10:45
world. They had thrived. They had built00:10:48
cities and ships and weapons. They had00:10:51
spread across the stars. They had fought00:10:54
wars against species that should have00:10:56
destroyed them. And they had won every00:10:58
single one. But those were just stories,00:11:00
Vexar told himself. Exaggerations,00:11:04
myths spread by frightened traitors and00:11:05
superstitious fools. Humans could not be00:11:08
as dangerous as the legends claimed. No00:11:10
species could open a channel, Vexar00:11:14
said. Tell them this system is under Cr.00:11:17
Tell them to leave or be destroyed. The00:11:20
message went out. For several minutes,00:11:23
there was no response. Then a voice came00:11:26
through the speakers, calm and clear,00:11:29
speaking perfect common tongue. This is00:11:31
Admiral Laura Kent of the United Earth00:11:34
Defense Force. You are attacking a00:11:36
civilian population that has asked for00:11:38
our help. You will withdraw your forces00:11:41
from this system immediately. This is00:11:43
not a negotiation. This is your only00:11:45
warning. Vexar almost laughed.00:11:48
One fleet against the Craft Dominion.00:11:51
One species against an empire that had00:11:53
crushed dozens of others.00:11:55
These humans were either very brave or00:11:58
very stupid. Admiral Kent, he replied.00:12:02
Thei belong to us now. Turn your ships00:12:05
around and return to your own space. We00:12:08
have no quarrel with Earth. But if you00:12:11
interfere, we will destroy you. The00:12:14
response came quickly. We will not00:12:16
abandon the Vani. You have 1 hour to00:12:19
begin withdrawal. After that, we will00:12:23
remove you by force. Vexar cut the00:12:26
channel and turned to his officers.00:12:28
Battle stations, he said. These humans00:12:32
need a lesson in Krath power. Across the00:12:35
Krath fleet, ships powered up their00:12:37
weapons and moved into attack formation.00:12:40
They outnumbered the human fleet nearly00:12:42
2 to one. Vexar was confident. He had00:12:46
fought many battles against many00:12:47
enemies. These humans would learn that00:12:49
the Craraft dominion did not make idle00:12:52
threats, but on the human flagship,00:12:54
Admiral Kent was not worried about the00:12:56
numbers. She had studied the Crath for00:12:59
months. She knew their tactics, their00:13:03
weaknesses,00:13:04
their arrogance. She also knew what her00:13:07
people were capable of. All ships, she00:13:10
said into her communicator. Weapons00:13:12
free. Begin attack. The human fleet00:13:15
moved forward. Not slowly, not00:13:19
carefully, but fast. Impossibly fast.00:13:24
Craft sensors struggled to track the00:13:26
human ships as they accelerated at rates00:13:28
that should have killed their crews. But00:13:30
humans were built different. Their00:13:31
bodies had evolved on a high-gravity00:13:33
world. They could handle acceleration00:13:35
that would turn most species into paste.00:13:38
Lieutenant Commander Amy Vance led the00:13:40
first strike wing. Her fighter was small00:13:42
and fast, armed with missiles and plasma00:13:44
cannons.00:13:46
She had flown in combat 17 times. She00:13:49
had never lost a wingmate. She did not00:13:51
plan to start today. All fighters,00:13:54
follow my lead, she said. Target their00:13:58
forward cruisers. Hit them hard and00:14:00
fast. The human fighters screamed toward00:14:03
the craft blockade. Craft gunners opened00:14:06
fire, filling space with plasma bolts00:14:09
and missiles. But human pilots were00:14:11
faster. They reacted in fractions of a00:14:14
second.00:14:15
dodging and weaving through the fire.00:14:18
Their eyes could track targets that00:14:20
other species would miss. Their hands00:14:23
could make adjustments that other00:14:24
species could not even imagine. Amy00:14:26
locked onto a craft cruiser and fired.00:14:29
Her missiles struck the ship's shields,00:14:31
overloaded them, and punched through the00:14:33
hull. Secondary explosions tore the00:14:35
cruiser apart from the inside. "First00:14:37
kill," she said calmly. "Moving to next00:14:41
target." Commander Vexar watched in00:14:43
disbelief as his ships began to die. The00:14:47
humans were not fighting like any enemy00:14:49
he had faced. They did not form00:14:51
defensive lines. They did not wait for00:14:54
openings. They attacked constantly from00:14:57
every direction. With a speed and00:15:00
aggression that was almost animal focus00:15:02
fire on their flagship, Vexer ordered,00:15:05
"Take out their leader." But Admiral00:15:07
Kent had anticipated this. She ordered00:15:10
her ship to advance, not retreat. The00:15:14
flagship moved toward the Crath fleet,00:15:16
its guns blazing. Crath ships tried to00:15:19
surround it, but human escort vessels00:15:21
cut them apart before they could get00:15:23
close. On the surface of Sarath, the00:15:26
looked up at the sky. They saw flashes00:15:28
of light, distant explosions, streaks of00:15:31
fire across the stars.00:15:34
They did not understand what was00:15:35
happening. They only knew that something00:15:38
terrible was happening to their00:15:40
oppressors. High counselor Tevin emerged00:15:42
from the underground shelter and stared00:15:44
at the sky. A young child tugged at his00:15:47
robe. Counselor, the child said, "What00:15:51
is happening?" "Who is fighting the00:15:53
Krath?"00:15:55
Tean did not know how to answer. He had00:15:58
never seen ships like the ones in orbit.00:16:00
He had never heard of anyone challenging00:16:02
the Crara dominion. "I do not know," he00:16:05
admitted. But someone has come. Someone00:16:08
has answered our call. In orbit, the00:16:11
battle raged on. Captain Greg Lawson00:16:14
commanded the destroyer USS Relentless.00:16:18
His ship was smaller than the Craraft00:16:19
cruisers, but it was faster and tougher.00:16:23
Human ships were built like their00:16:24
creators, designed to survive damage00:16:27
that would other vessels. A00:16:29
craft cruiser scored a direct hit on the00:16:31
Relentless.00:16:32
The ship shook violently. Alarms00:16:34
screamed.00:16:36
Damage reports flooded in. The hull was00:16:39
breached. Engines were damaged. Half the00:16:41
weapons were offline. Sir, his first00:16:44
officer said, "We should pull back and00:16:46
repair." Captain Lawson shook his head.00:16:49
Negative. Keep fighting. We can take00:16:52
more damage than they think. The00:16:53
Relentless kept firing. Its remaining00:16:56
guns punched holes in the Crath cruiser00:16:58
that had hit them. The Crath captain00:17:00
could not understand why the human ship00:17:02
was still fighting. any sane species00:17:05
would have retreated. But humans were00:17:07
not any species. They came from a world00:17:10
where everything tried to kill them.00:17:12
They had evolved to endure pain, to00:17:15
fight through injury, to keep going when00:17:18
any other creature would have given up.00:17:20
They called this stubbornness. They00:17:22
considered it their greatest strength.00:17:24
Commander Vexar watched his fleet00:17:26
crumble. Ship after ship was destroyed00:17:28
or disabled. The humans were not just00:17:30
winning. They were slaughtering his00:17:32
forces. He had never seen anything like00:17:35
it. Commander,00:17:37
his sensor officer said, his voice00:17:39
shaking.00:17:41
Another human fleet is emerging from00:17:43
behind the fourth moon. 30 more ships.00:17:47
Quote. Vexar felt his heart sink. It was00:17:51
a trap. The humans had hidden a second00:17:54
fleet and waited for him to engage.00:17:58
Now he was surrounded. Admiral Kent's00:18:00
voice came through the communicator00:18:02
again.00:18:03
Commander Vexar,00:18:05
your fleet is destroyed. Surrender now00:18:08
and your surviving crews will be treated00:18:10
according to the laws of war. Continue00:18:12
fighting and we will show no mercy.00:18:15
Vexar looked at the display. His proud00:18:18
fleet was in ruins. Half his ships were00:18:21
gone. The rest were damaged and00:18:23
outnumbered. He had no choice. All00:18:26
ships, he said slowly. Stand down. Cease00:18:30
fire. The guns fell silent.00:18:34
The first battle for Sarah was over, but00:18:36
on the surface. The real fight was just00:18:39
beginning. The Krath fleet had00:18:42
surrendered. But thousands of Krath00:18:44
soldiers still occupied the surface of00:18:47
Sarath. They had dug into the cities00:18:50
using civilians as shields. They knew00:18:53
the humans would have to come down00:18:54
eventually. They planned to make them00:18:56
pay for every street and every building.00:18:59
Admiral Kent studied the tactical maps00:19:01
in her command center. The situation was00:19:03
complicated.00:19:05
Krath forces were spread across 12 major00:19:08
cities. They had heavy weapons,00:19:11
fortified positions, and hostages. A00:19:14
simple orbital bombardment would kill00:19:16
too many innocent Vani. The humans would00:19:19
have to do this the hard way. Deploy the00:19:21
Marines, she ordered. Tell them to00:19:24
minimize civilian casualties, but get00:19:26
those soldiers off that planet. Across00:19:29
the fleet, armored landing pods began to00:19:31
launch. Each pod carried a squad of00:19:34
human marines wrapped in impact armor00:19:37
and armed with the deadliest weapons00:19:38
Earth could build. The pods fell through00:19:41
the atmosphere like meteors. Their heat00:19:43
shields glowing orange against the dark00:19:45
sky. Sergeant Kyle Morrison felt his00:19:48
stomach drop as his pods screamed toward00:19:50
the surface. Around him, his squad was00:19:52
silent, their faces hidden behind combat00:19:55
helmets. Private Ben Torres gripped his00:19:57
rifle so tight his knuckles were white.00:20:00
Medic Megan Cross checked her medical00:20:01
kit for the hundth time. Private Lisa00:20:04
Harding stared straight ahead. Her jaw00:20:07
set, her eyes hard. 30 seconds to00:20:11
impact, the pod's computer announced.00:20:13
Kyle took a deep breath. He had done00:20:16
this dozens of times before. It never00:20:19
got easier. But he was a marine. Fear00:20:23
was just another enemy to defeat. The00:20:25
pod hit the ground with a bone-shaking00:20:27
crash. The doors blew open. Daylight00:20:30
flooded in along with the sounds of00:20:32
gunfire and screaming. "Move!" Kyle00:20:35
shouted, "Out and spread." The squad00:20:38
poured out of the pod and into chaos.00:20:40
They had landed in the central plaza of00:20:42
ai city. All around them, buildings were00:20:46
burning. Krath soldiers were firing from00:20:49
windows and rooftops. Ani civilians were00:20:52
running in every direction, their thin00:20:54
bodies fragile against the violence.00:20:56
Kyle raised his rifle and started00:20:58
shooting. His first burst, took down a00:21:00
Krath soldier on a balcony. His second00:21:03
killed one, running across the plaza.00:21:05
The craft were big and strong with thick00:21:07
armor and powerful weapons.00:21:10
But they were slow compared to humans.00:21:12
They could not react as quickly or aim00:21:14
as precisely. Torres, left flank, Kyle00:21:18
ordered. Harding, cover that rooftop.00:21:20
Cross. Stay behind me. The squad moved00:21:23
like a single organism. Each member00:21:25
knowing their role without being told.00:21:28
They had trained for this. They had00:21:31
prepared for this. And now they were00:21:33
proving why humans were the most feared00:21:35
ground soldiers in the galaxy. The Croth00:21:38
had expected the humans to fight like00:21:39
other species, careful, defensive,00:21:42
taking cover, and waiting for openings.00:21:46
Instead, the humans attacked. They00:21:48
pushed forward constantly, never giving00:21:51
the craft time to regroup or plan. When00:21:53
one human fell, the others kept going.00:21:57
They did not mourn during battle. They00:21:59
did not hesitate. Private Ben Torres saw00:22:02
a collapsed building with small hands00:22:04
reaching through the rubble. Vani00:22:06
children trapped and crying for help.00:22:10
Without thinking, he ran toward them.00:22:12
Torres, Kyle shouted. What are you00:22:15
doing, children sergeant? There are00:22:17
children in there, Kyle cursed under his00:22:19
breath. But he understood. They were not00:22:23
just here to kill Croth. They were here00:22:26
to save people. Cover him, he ordered00:22:29
the squad. Torres reached the rubble and00:22:31
started digging. The stones were heavy,00:22:35
but human muscles were built for00:22:37
strength. On Earth, they had evolved to00:22:40
carry loads that would crush most00:22:42
species.00:22:44
Torres lifted rocks that would have00:22:45
taken three Vani to move. He pulled one00:22:49
child free, then another, then a third.00:22:52
The children stared at him with huge,00:22:54
terrified eyes. They had never seen a00:22:57
human before. Torres was big and loud00:23:00
and covered in armor. He must have00:23:02
looked like a monster to them. But then00:23:04
Torres took off his helmet and smiled at00:23:06
them. It is okay, he said slowly, using00:23:12
the simple common tongue words he had00:23:14
learned.00:23:16
You are safe now. I am here to help. One00:23:19
of the children, a tiny girl with silver00:23:22
skin, reached up and touched his face.00:23:25
Her hand was cold and delicate against00:23:27
his rough skin. She said something in00:23:29
her own language that he did not00:23:30
understand, but her meaning was clear.00:23:33
Thank you. Torres felt something twist00:23:35
in his chest.00:23:37
This was why they were here. Not for00:23:39
glory, not for conquest, but for moments00:23:43
like this. Across the city, medic Megan00:23:46
Cross had set up a field hospital in an00:23:48
abandoned building. Wounded Volani were00:23:52
being brought to her constantly. carried00:23:54
by other vani or by human soldiers. She00:23:57
worked without rest, her hands moving00:24:00
from patient to patient, stopping00:24:02
bleeding and setting bones and doing00:24:04
everything she could to keep people00:24:05
alive. Thei doctors watched her with00:24:08
amazement.00:24:09
Megan had been working for 18 hours00:24:12
straight. She had not eaten. She had not00:24:15
slept. She was covered in blood and00:24:18
sweat. But she kept going. How? One Vani00:24:22
doctor asked her, "How can you function00:24:25
like this? You should have collapsed00:24:27
hours ago." Megan looked up briefly from00:24:30
her patient. "Humans are persistence00:24:34
hunters," she explained. "On our world,00:24:37
we used to chase animals until they00:24:39
collapsed from exhaustion. We can keep00:24:41
going longer than any other species. It00:24:43
is how we survived." Thei doctor shook00:24:46
his head in wonder. These humans were00:24:49
impossible creatures. They should not00:24:51
exist. No species from such a deadly00:24:54
world should have developed compassion00:24:56
and medicine and the desire to help00:24:58
strangers. Yet here they were. The00:25:00
ground war continued for 3 days. Human00:25:04
marines pushed the Krath back street by00:25:06
street, building by building. The Krath00:25:09
fought hard. They were not cowards, but00:25:12
they were facing something they had00:25:14
never encountered before. Humans did not00:25:16
stop. When they were wounded, they kept00:25:19
fighting. When their weapons ran dry,00:25:22
they fought with knives and fists. When00:25:25
their friends fell, they did not break.00:25:28
They got angry, and an angry human was00:25:31
the most dangerous thing in the galaxy.00:25:33
Corporal Pete Garcia carried three00:25:35
wounded Marines to safety across 200 m00:25:38
of open ground while under fire. He took00:25:41
a plasma bolt to his leg halfway across.00:25:44
He did not stop. He dragged himself and00:25:46
his comrades to cover, then turned00:25:48
around and started shooting back.00:25:50
Private Lisa Harding took a shot to her00:25:52
right arm that destroyed the bone. She00:25:54
switched her rifle to her left hand and00:25:56
kept firing. When medics tried to pull00:25:59
her back, she refused. "I can still00:26:02
fight," she said. "I will rest when the00:26:04
job is done." The Crath soldiers began00:26:06
to whisper among themselves. They shared00:26:09
stories of what they had seen. humans00:26:13
who would not die, who would not00:26:15
retreat, who seemed to feel no pain.00:26:18
Some began to call the humans demons.00:26:21
Others called them worse things, but the00:26:23
Vani called them something else. They00:26:25
called them saviors. High counselor00:26:27
Tevin walked through the streets of his00:26:29
ruined capital with a human escort. He00:26:32
saw his people emerging from shelters,00:26:34
thin and frightened, but alive. He saw00:26:37
human soldiers handing out food and00:26:39
water, treating wounded Vani, playing00:26:42
with children who had lost their00:26:44
parents. These creatures came from a00:26:46
world of death. Their bodies were built00:26:49
for violence, yet they used their00:26:52
terrible strength to protect the weak.00:26:54
Tivon approached a human soldier who was00:26:56
sitting on a pile of rubble, eating00:26:58
something from a small package.00:27:01
The soldier was young with dirt on his00:27:03
face and exhaustion in his eyes. But he00:27:06
smiled when he saw Tevan and stood up to00:27:08
greet him. You came for us, Tevon said00:27:11
slowly. You did not know us. You owed us00:27:15
nothing.00:27:18
Why? The soldier thought about the00:27:20
question. He was just a private, not a00:27:22
philosopher. But he had an answer.00:27:25
Because you needed help, he said simply.00:27:28
and we could give it. That is enough00:27:31
reason for us. Tean did not fully00:27:34
understand.00:27:35
In his experience, the galaxy was cruel.00:27:39
Species took what they wanted and00:27:41
destroyed what they could not use.00:27:44
Compassion was a weakness that got you00:27:46
killed. But these humans were different.00:27:49
They were the deadliest species Tivon00:27:51
had ever seen. And they had used that00:27:53
deadly strength to save strangers.00:27:56
Perhaps Tevin thought the galaxy was not00:27:59
as simple as he had believed. The00:28:01
Craraft Dominion did not accept defeat00:28:03
easily. When word reached their home00:28:06
world that Commander Vexar had00:28:07
surrendered his fleet to a species00:28:09
called humans, the High Command went00:28:11
into a rage. They had conquered 4300:28:14
worlds. They had crushed every enemy00:28:16
they had ever faced. They would not be00:28:19
humiliated by death world primitives.00:28:21
Warlord Thrax was given command of the00:28:24
largest battle fleet the Dominion had00:28:25
ever assembled.00:28:27
200 warships carrying the best soldiers00:28:30
and the most powerful weapons the Crath00:28:32
could build. Thrax had never lost a00:28:35
battle in his entire career. He had00:28:37
destroyed civilizations.00:28:40
He had broken empires. He would teach00:28:42
these humans the true meaning of war.00:28:44
The fleet arrived at Sarah 3 days after00:28:47
the ground war began.00:28:49
Admiral Laura Kent was in her command00:28:51
center when the alarms started00:28:53
screaming. Admiral, her sensor officer00:28:56
reported, his voice tight. Massive fleet00:29:00
signature at the system edge. Over 20000:29:03
contacts. They are all cr. Kent studied00:29:07
the display and felt her stomach clench.00:29:09
The ninth fleet had taken losses in the00:29:11
first battle. They had 38 ships00:29:14
remaining. The reinforcements she had00:29:16
hidden behind the moon. The seventh00:29:18
fleet under Vice Admiral Chris Menddees00:29:20
had 42 ships. Together they had 8000:29:23
vessels against 200. The odds were not00:29:26
good. But Kent had not survived three00:29:29
wars by running from bad odds. Signal00:29:31
Vice Admiral Menddees. She said, "Tell00:29:34
him to hold position until my mark. We00:29:37
need to draw them in before we spring00:29:39
the trap." On the Craraft flagship,00:29:41
Warlord Thrax watched the human fleet on00:29:44
his display. They were not retreating.00:29:46
They were not even trying to hide. They00:29:49
just sat there waiting for him. Arrogant00:29:52
creatures, Thrax said. "They think they00:29:55
can face the full might of the00:29:56
Dominion." "They will learn their00:29:59
mistake." He ordered his fleet forward.00:30:02
The 200 Crath warships advanced in a00:30:04
massive wave. Their weapons charging,00:30:07
their crews eager for revenge. They had00:30:10
heard what the humans had done to00:30:11
Vexar's fleet. They were angry. They00:30:14
wanted blood. Admiral Kent watched them00:30:16
come. She waited until they were fully00:30:19
committed, until they had passed the00:30:21
point where they could easily retreat.00:30:23
Then she gave the order. All ships,00:30:25
begin attack pattern Delta. Vice Admiral00:30:28
Menddees, you are clear to engage. The00:30:31
seventh fleet emerged from behind the00:30:33
moon like ghosts becoming solid.00:30:36
42 human warships appeared on the craft00:30:38
sensors. already firing, already00:30:41
killing. The Crath were caught between00:30:43
two forces, surrounded, outmaneuvered.00:30:46
But Thrax did not panic. He was a00:30:49
veteran of a 100 battles. He knew how to00:30:52
fight against bad odds. All ships focus00:30:55
fire on the enemy flagship, he ordered.00:30:58
Kill their leader and the rest will00:31:00
fall. Every craft ship that could get a00:31:02
clear shot turned their weapons toward00:31:04
Admiral Kent's command ship. The barrage00:31:07
was overwhelming. Human escort ships00:31:10
tried to intercept, but there were too00:31:12
many shots, too many missiles, too much00:31:16
firepower. The flagship shook violently00:31:18
as hits landed on its hull. Explosions00:31:22
tore through multiple decks. Fires broke00:31:25
out. Crew members died at their00:31:28
stations. The bridge itself took a00:31:30
direct hit that killed half the officers00:31:32
and threw Admiral Kent against a wall.00:31:35
She woke up on the floor, her head00:31:37
bleeding, her left arm broken, alarms00:31:40
were screaming, smoke filled the air.00:31:44
Someone was shouting that the engines00:31:45
were offline. Admiral, a young officer00:31:48
cried. We have to abandon ship. The00:31:51
reactor is failing. Kent grabbed a00:31:53
console and pulled herself up. Her00:31:55
vision was blurry. Every breath hurt,00:31:59
but she was still alive. And that meant00:32:01
she still had a job to do. Get me a00:32:04
wheelchair, she said through gritted00:32:06
teeth. I am not leaving this bridge.00:32:08
They found a medical chair and strapped00:32:10
her in. The ship's doctor tried to00:32:13
protest. Tried to tell her she needed00:32:15
surgery. Kent ignored him. She looked at00:32:19
the display and started giving orders.00:32:21
Shift all remaining power to weapons.00:32:24
Signal the relentless to cover our port00:32:26
side. Tell Menddees to push harder on00:32:29
their right flank. Blood ran down her00:32:31
face. Her broken arm hung useless at her00:32:34
side, but her voice was steady and her00:32:37
mind was clear. The crew saw their00:32:40
admiral, wounded and bleeding, still00:32:44
fighting. It gave them strength they did00:32:46
not know they had. On the surface,00:32:49
Sergeant Kyle Morrison received new00:32:51
orders from orbit. The craft had landed00:32:54
reinforcements at a command center on00:32:56
the outskirts of the capital. They were00:32:58
coordinating their remaining ground00:33:00
forces from there.00:33:02
If the humans could destroy that center,00:33:05
the Krath troops would be blind and00:33:07
scattered. Kyle gathered his squad and00:33:09
every marine he could find. 53 soldiers00:33:13
in total. Most of them wounded in some00:33:15
way. They were tired. They were hurt,00:33:19
but they were human. And humans did not00:33:21
know how to quit. This is going to be00:33:23
ugly. Kyle told them. The Krath know we00:33:27
are coming. They will throw everything00:33:29
they have at us. Some of us will not00:33:31
make it back. He looked at their faces.00:33:34
He saw fear there, but also00:33:37
determination. These were soldiers who00:33:39
had crossed the stars to help strangers.00:33:42
They were not going to stop now. Let us00:33:45
finish this. Private Lisa Harding said00:33:48
her arm was in a sling, but she had a00:33:51
pistol in her good hand. I still have00:33:53
one arm that works. They moved through00:33:55
the ruined city like shadows, fast and00:33:58
quiet. Craft patrols tried to stop them.00:34:01
Kyle's marines cut through them like00:34:03
knives through paper. They reached the00:34:05
command center in less than an hour. The00:34:07
building was a fortress. Thick walls,00:34:09
heavy guns, hundreds of craft soldiers00:34:12
inside. A normal assault would take days00:34:14
and cost hundreds of lives. Kyle did not00:34:17
have days. He did not have hundreds of00:34:20
soldiers. He had 53 battered Marines and00:34:23
one chance to end this. Torres Harding,00:34:27
you are with me, he said. We go through00:34:30
the front door. Everyone else, hit them00:34:33
from every other direction. Make them00:34:36
think we have a thousand soldiers out00:34:38
here. The assault began with explosions.00:34:41
Human grenades blew holes in the walls.00:34:44
Marines poured through, firing at00:34:46
everything that moved. The craft were00:34:48
ready for them, but they were not ready00:34:50
for human speed and human aggression.00:34:52
Kyle kicked in the front door and00:34:54
started shooting before his feet touched00:34:55
the ground. Torres was beside him, his00:34:58
rifle barking death. Harding came behind00:35:01
them, her pistol dropping Krath with00:35:03
every shot. The Krath fought back hard.00:35:07
These were elite soldiers, the best the00:35:10
Dominion had. They were not afraid to00:35:12
die, but they were facing humans, and00:35:16
humans were something beyond their00:35:17
understanding. A Crath soldier tackled00:35:20
Kyle and knocked his rifle away. They00:35:22
rolled across the floor fighting hand to00:35:24
hand. The Krath was bigger and stronger00:35:27
with natural armor and claws that could00:35:29
tear through steel. But Kyle was human.00:35:34
His ancestors had killed animals with00:35:36
their bare hands. His body was built for00:35:39
this kind of violence. He got his knife00:35:41
free and drove it into the gap between00:35:42
the craft's armor plates. The soldier00:35:45
screamed and went limp.00:35:47
Kyle pushed the body aside and kept00:35:49
moving. They reached the command00:35:51
center's heart in 20 minutes. The Krath00:35:54
commander there tried to surrender, but00:35:56
he was too late. The damage was done.00:36:00
His communications were destroyed.00:36:03
His maps were burned. His soldiers on00:36:05
the surface were now blind. In orbit,00:36:08
the tide was turning. Warlord Thrax00:36:11
watched his fleet die around him. The00:36:14
humans were relentless. No matter how00:36:17
many they killed, more kept coming.00:36:19
Their ships did not retreat when00:36:21
damaged. Their crews did not surrender00:36:23
when outnumbered. They just kept00:36:25
fighting. Warlord, his first officer00:36:28
said quietly. We have lost over a 10000:36:31
ships. Our formation is broken. We00:36:35
cannot win this battle. Thrax stared at00:36:37
the display. He had never lost. He had00:36:41
never even come close to losing. But00:36:44
these humans were not like any enemy he00:36:46
had faced. "What are they?" he00:36:49
whispered. "What kind of creatures are00:36:51
they?" His first officer did not have an00:36:53
answer.00:36:54
"Neither did Thrax," Admiral Kent's00:36:57
voice came through the speakers, calm00:36:59
despite her wounds. "Warlord Thrax, your00:37:03
fleet is destroyed. Your ground forces00:37:05
are scattered. You have lost. Surrender00:37:08
now and your surviving crews will live.00:37:11
This is your only offer." Thrax looked00:37:13
at his options. He had none. The great00:37:16
warlord, the undefeated commander, the00:37:19
pride of the craraft dominion,00:37:22
had been beaten by death world00:37:23
primitives, all ships, he said slowly,00:37:26
his voice heavy with shame. Stand down.00:37:30
Cease all hostilities. The battle for00:37:32
Sarath was over. The humans had won. The00:37:36
silence after battle was strange. For00:37:39
days, the skies of Sarah had been filled00:37:41
with fire and thunder. Now there was00:37:44
only quiet, broken by the sounds of00:37:46
recovery. Rescue crews digging through00:37:48
rubble, medical ships landing with00:37:50
supplies. Vani voices calling for lost00:37:53
family members. Admiral Laura Kent sat00:37:55
in a wheelchair on the observation deck00:37:57
of a temporary command station. Her arm00:38:00
was in a cast. Her head was wrapped in00:38:02
bandages.00:38:04
Doctors said she was lucky to be alive.00:38:06
She did not feel lucky. She felt tired.00:38:09
But the job was not done yet. Warlord00:38:12
Thrax was brought before her in chains.00:38:15
He was the most decorated commander in00:38:16
Craraft history. The conqueror of a00:38:19
dozen worlds, the terror of countless00:38:22
species. Now he stood in a borrowed room00:38:24
on a conquered planet, facing a woman00:38:26
half his size who had broken his empire.00:38:28
"You wanted to see me," Thrax said. His00:38:32
voice was flat, empty of pride or anger.00:38:37
Why? Kent looked at him for a long00:38:39
moment. In another universe, she might00:38:43
have hated this creature. He had killed00:38:46
innocents. He had enslaved00:38:48
civilizations. He represented everything00:38:51
humanity had sworn to fight against. But00:38:53
she was too tired for hate. She just00:38:56
wanted to understand. I wanted to ask00:38:58
you a question. She said, "You could00:39:01
have left. When you saw what we did to00:39:03
Vexar's fleet, you could have retreated.00:39:07
Why did you come here to die? Thrax was00:39:09
silent for a moment. Then he shook his00:39:11
head slowly. Because I did not believe,00:39:14
he said. The reports seemed impossible.00:39:18
No species from a death world could be00:39:20
this organized, this disciplined, this00:39:23
powerful. I thought Vexar had failed00:39:26
because he was weak. I thought I could00:39:28
succeed where he had not. He paused.00:39:31
I was wrong. You humans are not like00:39:34
anything we have encountered. You fight00:39:36
like animals, but you think like00:39:39
scholars. You are ruthless in battle,00:39:42
but you show mercy afterward. You came00:39:44
across the stars to save a species you00:39:46
had never met for no reward, with no00:39:49
benefit to yourselves. He looked at her00:39:52
directly. I do not understand you. I am00:39:55
not sure anyone in the galaxy will ever00:39:57
understand you. Kent nodded slowly. She00:40:00
did not try to explain. Some things00:40:02
could not be put into words. Humanity00:40:04
was what it was. A species born on a00:40:07
world that tried to kill them everyday.00:40:09
Who had learned to survive by working00:40:11
together, by caring for each other, by00:40:14
never giving up. You will be returned to00:40:16
your people. She said, "This war is00:40:19
over. But tell your high command00:40:22
something from me. The Crath Dominion00:40:25
has two choices now. You can learn from00:40:27
this defeat and become something better00:40:30
or you can come back for revenge and we00:40:33
will destroy you completely. The choice00:40:35
is yours. Thrax said nothing. He was00:40:38
escorted away by human guards. His proud00:40:42
shoulders slumped. His career in ruins.00:40:45
3 days later thei held a ceremony to00:40:48
honor their saviors. The great hall was00:40:51
damaged but still standing. Thousands of00:40:54
crowded into the space. their silver00:40:56
skin shining in the light of dozens of00:40:58
floating lamps. On a raised platform00:41:00
stood the surviving members of the00:41:02
Volani High Council, including Tevin,00:41:05
Admiral Kent attended in her wheelchair,00:41:07
surrounded by officers and Marines.00:41:09
Sergeant Kyle Morrison stood with his00:41:11
squad, their dress uniforms cleaned as00:41:14
best they could manage. Private Ben00:41:15
Torres had a bandage on his forehead.00:41:18
Private Lisa Harding's arm was still in00:41:19
a sling. Medic Meghan Cross looked like00:41:22
she had not slept in a week, but they00:41:24
were alive.00:41:26
Against all odds, they were alive. High00:41:30
counselor Tevin stepped forward to00:41:31
speak. His voice was soft, as alli00:41:35
voices were, but it carried through the00:41:37
hall. 10 days ago, our world was dying.00:41:40
The craft had come for us. We had no00:41:43
weapons, no soldiers, no hope. We sent a00:41:46
signal into the darkness, a cry for help00:41:48
that we believed no one would answer. He00:41:51
paused. His large eyes glistened with00:41:53
moisture. But someone did answer.00:41:56
From across the galaxy, from a world we00:41:59
had never heard of, came a species we00:42:02
knew only from frightening stories.00:42:04
The humans, the deathworlders,00:42:08
the creatures from a planet of monsters00:42:10
and disasters. He turned to look at the00:42:12
human delegation. We expected monsters.00:42:15
We found guardians. We expected00:42:18
destroyers. We found healers. We00:42:21
expected killers. We found protectors.00:42:24
His voice grew stronger. The humans came00:42:26
to our world with weapons that could00:42:28
crack moons and soldiers that could00:42:30
fight armies. But they used those00:42:32
weapons to save us. They bled for us.00:42:34
They died for us. And when the battle00:42:37
was over, they stayed to help us00:42:39
rebuild. He walked toward Admiral Kent,00:42:42
his steps slow and dignified. "We do not00:42:44
know how to repay you," he said. We have00:42:47
no money to offer, no resources to00:42:49
share, no power to give. All we have is00:42:52
our gratitude and our promise. From this00:42:55
day forward, the Vani people will00:42:57
remember what you did here. We will00:42:58
teach our children and our children's00:43:00
children about the humans who came from00:43:02
the stars to save us. Your names will00:43:04
live in our songs forever. He bowed00:43:07
deeply, a gesture of ultimate respect in00:43:09
Vaini culture. Behind him, every in the00:43:13
hall bowed as well. Admiral Kent felt00:43:16
something tight in her chest. She had00:43:18
fought wars for politics, for resources,00:43:21
for survival.00:43:23
But this was different. This was pure.00:43:26
They had come here for no other reason00:43:27
than to help people who needed it. She00:43:29
pushed herself out of her wheelchair,00:43:32
ignoring the pain in her body. She stood00:43:34
on her own feet and bowed back to Tevan.00:43:37
"We came because you asked," she said00:43:39
simply. That is what humans do. When00:43:43
someone cries for help in the darkness,00:43:46
we answer. It does not matter if we know00:43:48
them. It does not matter if they can00:43:51
repay us. We answer because it is right.00:43:54
The ceremony continued for hours with00:43:56
speeches and songs and rituals that the00:43:58
humans did not fully understand.00:44:01
But they stood respectfully through all00:44:03
of it. Honored to be included in00:44:06
something so meaningful. Later, Kyle00:44:09
Morrison found himself sitting on the00:44:11
steps outside the great hall. The00:44:13
celebration was still going on inside,00:44:16
but he needed air. He was tired in a way00:44:19
that sleep could not fix. A small figure00:44:21
sat down beside him. It was the Vaini00:44:24
child he had saved from the collapsed00:44:26
building. The tiny girl with silver skin00:44:29
who had touched his face. Her name, he00:44:32
had learned, was Sarah. "You are sad,"00:44:35
Sarah said. Her common tongue was broken00:44:37
but understandable.00:44:40
Why? Kyle thought about the question. He00:44:44
had lost friends in this battle. Good00:44:46
soldiers who would never go home. He00:44:49
carried their faces in his memory where00:44:52
they would stay forever. I am thinking00:44:54
about the people who did not make it. He00:44:56
said the ones who died so others could00:44:59
live. Sarah nodded solemnly.00:45:02
For a moment, she looked much older than00:45:05
her years. "Ini belief," she said00:45:08
carefully. "Those who die protecting00:45:10
others become stars. They watch over us00:45:12
forever from the sky." Kyle looked up.00:45:16
The night sky of Sarah was beautiful,00:45:18
filled with more stars than he had ever00:45:20
seen on Earth. "That is a nice belief,"00:45:22
he said. Sarah took his hand. Her00:45:25
fingers were cold and delicate, but her00:45:27
grip was firm. "You are my guardian00:45:30
now," she said. That is what I have00:45:32
decided. You saved me. You belong to me.00:45:36
Kyle could not help but smile. This00:45:39
small alien child had claimed him like a00:45:41
lost pet. It was ridiculous and00:45:44
wonderful at the same time. I accept, he00:45:47
said. But I have to go home eventually.00:45:50
Earth is very far away. Then I will look00:45:52
at the stars, Sira said. And I will know00:45:55
you are out there somewhere watching00:45:58
over other people who need saving. Kyle00:46:00
squeezed her hand gently in that moment.00:46:04
All the pain and exhaustion and loss00:46:06
felt worth it. This was why they fought.00:46:10
This was why they crossed the darkness00:46:12
between stars. Not for glory or00:46:14
conquest, but for moments like this.00:46:17
Across the galaxy, word spread about00:46:19
what had happened at Sarah.00:46:21
Species who had dismissed humans as00:46:23
dangerous primitives began to see them00:46:25
differently. Yes, they came from a death00:46:28
world. Yes, they were terrifying in00:46:31
battle, but they also answered distress00:46:34
calls from strangers. They fought for00:46:37
those who could not fight for00:46:38
themselves. Commander Danny Harper, back00:46:41
on Earth, filed his final report on the00:46:43
Sarah incident. At the bottom, he added00:46:47
a personal note. This is just the00:46:49
beginning. Other oppressed worlds will00:46:52
hear about what we did here. They will00:46:54
send their own signals into the darkness00:46:57
and we will answer because that is what00:47:00
humans do. We came from a world of00:47:02
death. But we carry life wherever we go.00:47:06
We are the deathworlders and we have00:47:08
only just started. The report was filed00:47:10
and archived. The fleet began its long00:47:13
journey home.00:47:15
And somewhere in the darkness of space,00:47:18
another distress signal began its00:47:20
journey toward Earth. The humans would00:47:22
answer.00:47:23
They always did.Description:
