“Lord Zonar we approach the Arcevar system.”
“Yes Taskeven” replied Zonar “did not our sources tell us that this system is part of the Dicon Galactic Empire?”
“No my Lord Zonar, they do mention that they contact the Dicon from time to time but their initial contact was with the Fodani Collective.”
“The Fodani? Is not Arcevar a Fodani word?”
“I believe it is my Lord Zonar.”
“Any indication that they are here?”
“No idea my Lord Zonar.”
“Inform our scanner operators to look for them and to warn us as soon they are detected.”
“Yes my Lord Zonar.” Taskeven bowed to Zonar and then turned away to go to the scanner operator, he did not want to voice to Zonar why the concern about the Fodani. Among the space faring races the Fodani wasn’t the most numerous or controlled many worlds like the Alliance of Worlds or the Legion of Stars or had widespread influence of trade like the Dicon Galactic Empire.
For his part Zonar just stood in silence as Taskeven walked away. Like the loyal underling that he was Taskeven was wise enough not to ask more about the Fodani for if he did he would have killed him on the spot. Zonar didn’t fear the Fodani outright but if they suddenly showed up to the Arcevar system it could complicate his plans of conquest for the galaxy. In time the Fodani will be dealt with but not now. Right now it was the planet known as Arcevar Nover that is going to be invaded, conquered and it’s resources plundered for him and if the people of this planet stood in his way he would wipe them out like the other planets that he had done in the past.
And one resource that he wanted more than anything else from this world was a weapon much mightier than the blaster rods that they currently use but the blaster rods was not effective against certain races of the Dicon Empire and the Alliance of Worlds, for them he had ZA22 gas, the most poisonous gas in the known galaxy, however it’s ineffective against the Fodani since they breathe this gas on their homeworld and colony planets.
“My Lord Zonar” said Tobaz as he entered the room “we approach the orbit of the third planet of this system, no Fodani presence is detected but we do detect a small object in our flight path.”
“Is it a weapon?” asked Zonar
“I do not think so Lord Zonar,” replied Tobaz “it is just sitting there broadcasting messages.”
“What is it broadcasting?” asked Zonar.
“I do not know Lord Zonar, so far it’s broadcasting meaningless sounds to us.”
“Launch a squadron of fighters to get a closer look at this object. See who it belongs to. If it makes any hostile move destroy it!”
“Yes my Lord Zonar” Tobaz bowed to Zonar and then turned to leave the room.
