The Fate of Ranu P1

Chaos. That is what awaited me when I set foot on Ranu, homeworld of the Ranuki... my home. It wasn't always like this. The last time I was here, everything was perfect. There was growing vegetation, fresh water... life. But none of that was present now. The crops had been burned, buildings leveled, and ships (what little we had) destroyed. The inhabitants of Ranu chose to live off the land rather than develop their technology. That choice ended up being their downfall.
"Kaden told you... he told you not to trust him... why didn't you listen?" I said as I observed my surroundings. "Your mistake cost my people their lives."

"Emperor Tachyon," said the Drophyd soldier, "there is nothing left. The Lombaxes are gone."
"But they're not dead. And that is what I want."
"I understand, sir, but unfortunately we cannot locate them."
"And what about the infants?"
"It will be possible to track them down."
The Cragmite prince sat on his throne, still so full of hatred, though Fastoon was now in ruins. He would not rest until every Lombax was wiped from existence. And without the Dimensionator, that wouldn't be happening anytime soon. There was nothing left for him to do now but hunt down the two infant Lombaxes that had been sent to the Solana Galaxy.
"I want them found," he said, turning to his second-in-command.
"Yes, sir. I shall order the troops to-"
"Wait," Tachyon interrupted. It had just occurred to him that they weren't quite finished  there yet. One task still remained. "Their allies." He whispered.
The Soldier looked at him, confused. "Sir?"
"The Lombaxes have allies on Ranu. Allowing them to live is just leaving ourselves vulnerable to an attack. We cannot take that chance."
"But, Emperor Tachyon," said the Soldier, "the Ranuki are a peaceful race. They do not have the technology to-"
"Exactly! With their pitiful defenses, they'll be no match for our forces. That is why we must move now." With that, his walking throne headed toward his ship. "You should never underestimate an enemy."
