RETURN OF THE DILGAR

Prologue –

It has been almost 50 years since the Earth Alliance and League of Non Aligned Worlds defeat the Dilgar, and imprisoning them on their home world. And then soon after war ended, the Dilgar sun went supernova, exterminating the entire race. But what really happen, was questioned be many for a long time. All analysis shows that Dilgar sun was similar to Earth sun, with age of almost 5 billion years old. So how was it so suddenly that the Dilgar sun went supernova. There was no cosmic radiation that can cause sun to go nova 5 billion years before its time.

In fact something that the Kirishiac lords said to the humans and it one of the things that they were forbidden to share with the others before they were ready (once the Shadows leave the galaxy, the humans would be allowed to speak about it). It was the Shadows who used the Dilgar as puppets and it was the Shadows who did the same thing that Kirishiac lords did to the humans, they directly interfered, improving their technology, but the Shadows did more, they tamper with the Dilgar DNA, making an already aggressive race even more aggressive, they were thirsty for war.

The Dilgar rise to power in only one decade and they became a major player on the galaxy stage in 2220s and 2230s. They had the respect of the other races like the Centauri and the Minbari. But the Dilgar are everything but civilized. They wanted to expand and the Shadows give them that opportunity. More and more Dilgar showed their interest in the League of Non Aligned Worlds races. And this was what the Shadows were counting on. They know that in the near future when their time come the League of Non Aligned Worlds and other major races will stand against them. So eliminating the League of Non Aligned Worlds, Narn and the Earth Alliance was a must, nobody would stand in their way.

It was well known that the Dilgar are ruthless, brutal, and savage. And finally in 2230 the Dilgar made their move. Without any warning, or even a declaration of war the Dilgar attacked the Abbai, Brakiri, Vree, Drazi, the Gaim and few others from League of Non Aligned Worlds. The League of Non Aligned Worlds races knew that the Dilgar would attack one day, but they are not ready for it, and the Dilgar war machine tore apart the League of Non Aligned Worlds fleets, even the Narns were attacked and defeated.

The Dilgar did horrible, unthinkable things to their prisoners; and the survivors of the planets they devastated were treated like slaves. The Dilgar conducted experiments on them and killed them in the millions. League of Non Aligned Worlds didn't see any exit from this, and with the battle after battle lost, and casualties in millions.

The League of Non Aligned Worlds asked for help from the Centauri Republic and the great Minbari Federation but both did not want anything to do with this war. The Minbari because they were isolating themselves from the others races and were not interested in interfering. And the Centauri did not want to do anything since they were using the Dilgar as Special Forces and Mercenaries. So they keep their tight friendship with the Dilgar as quite as possible, so it was never explained why.

Finally the League of Non Aligned Worlds asked the Earth Alliance for help. The Earth Alliance was young and in many races eyes still weak. The Earth Alliance didn't want to interfere in the other races affairs, so initially responded that it was not theirs to interfere in the other races wars. But as the reports coming from League of Non Aligned Worlds space it became clear that the Dilgar were committing many an atrocity against the League of Non Aligned Worlds and it reminded us of our own history and that we could be like the Dilgar in the 20th century and even before that. Atrocities of the Nazi Germany and Japan did in WWII and that was line that was not to be crossed. The Earth Alliance has sworn that they will never again see the horrors like WWII and WWIII. And that they will not stand by the side and watch the suffering of the other races.

On March 13, 2231 an Earth Alliance battle group captured a Dilgar patrol ship, a Sehkment class Heavy Cruiser. They find plans for worlds that they planned to conquered in near future. One of these was Earth itself. Even as the Dilgar wanted Earth to stay neutral, after this everything changed.

The Earth sided with League of Non Aligned Worlds and in only one year the Dilgar were defeated. Almost a year later after their defeat and exile to their home world their sun went nova under mysterious circumstances. It was believed that Dilgar race was extinct and that only the Warmaster Jha'dur survived the war. But in fact unknown to Earth Alliance or League of Non Aligned Worlds, the Dilgar are not totally extinct, as a month before last battle of the war, at the battle of Omelos, the Dilgar evacuated some of their citizens, scientist, and warriors from Dilgar Prime, and other from their remaining free colonies. They managed to save over two million of their people and they created a colony at the edge of Milky Way in a small system in a Cerulean type nebula where they hoped nobody would find them. From there they watched viciously, and with rage at the death of their world. They stayed quiet, slowly rebuilding their fleet, their homes and hoped to one day return and avenge the loss of their home world and the lost war, and hoped that one day they will return and destroy their biggest enemy the Earth Alliance.

During the Earth – Minbari war, the Dilgar believed that the Earth would be crushed by Minbari and after the Battle of the Line, when the Minbari surrender to Earth. The Dilgar saw that their last chance was over. Even if they wanted to destroy Earth by themselves it would not be easy.

Now 50 years later they are ready to make their revenge a reality. Soon the Earth Alliance would pay.

...

This was only a prologue. The first chapter will be released soon. I hope it was an interesting beginning, and I did not want to put all the details about the Dilgar war into this prologue, I've saving that for other story. But since there is already a story about the Dilgar on () I don't see reason to put it here.

Let's say this is a second Dilgar war shall we. I think you will find it interesting.
