6 Whole years. Planets burning. Planets destroyed. an Entire Universe erased. Mass Sterilizations. Trillions of deaths. All for what? The tide is turning against us. some say to keep going to the bitter end. some want peace. others want full annihilation. Yet. we cannot decide; Astril'Yama decides, and she opts for Total Annihilation. CORE (the Main 15 Zala'Iyan star-systems) would be blocked off. while all others; outside star-systems. the frontiers. the industrial hub. the farming planets. all would be destroyed. burnt to the ash and rubble. planets won't be sterilized; but scorched to the bare minimum. veteran and elite forces are ordered back to CORE Immediately; and then the order is given to planetary militia all across the empire of 250,000 universes; to finally rid herself of everything valuable, for rebellious states to finally go free, and to let go of the subjugated AUs. all militia ransack and destroy all values in food; material; water; and weapons; anything of use is destroyed and blueprints are burned. then. the militia are given a choice. self-annihilation and perish with honor; or to stay to their planet and form their own clique. most would form a clique as they are disillusioned with Zala'Iya, yet still act upon her behalf. All 250,000 universes are engulfed in flames; fire and ash. everything is dead now. the cliques will survive for not too long. this is our Final Strike. this is our Vengence. this is the end of the conflict. Astril'Yama has enacted her will. We will survive. A ring of "Fire" surrounds Core; going all around it on the galactic plane; up, down, right, left, east / west, north / south. 15 star-systems inaccessible to the universe. 15 star-systems occupied by a Fallen-Empire. We opted to die by fire; and so we have.
