Prelude

"Tribunal fleet Larvitan, we demand that you cease your fire!" Captain Cystrok commanded over the video channel.

"We shall not cease our attack! Your race has been a threat and will always be a threat to us and the Galactic Union!" Captain Termos replied.

"We are under Union protection this is against Galactic Code!" Cystrok pleaded trying to keep his grasp as the flagship teetered from each proton missile.

"This is not Union space my dear Cystrok, which means you have no protection. Tribunal fleet Larvitan, signing off." Termos ended shutting off communication with the Na'vale'li fleet.

Cystrok turned to face High Protector Lonark whose expression was just as worried as his.

"High Protector….we can't defend ourselves, what should we do?" the Captain asked trying to keep calm. Lonark stood up from his seat and sighed heavily.

"We must save who we can." Lonark ordered.

"Sir, the escape bay is heavily damaged. Only one pod remains in commission." One of the technical crew relayed. Lonark shut his eyes and then opened them to face the fearful Na'vale'li.

"Then we must save one, and only one of our own." He announced grimly. The others looked at each other knowing that it was the only way to save their race from complete extinction.

"Who must we send?" Captain Cystrok asked dutifully. Lonark turned to his left and stared at his only daughter standing next to him unable to understand what was happening.

"My daughter, she has been blessed by our elders and her birth was no coincidence. If she should survive she could exact revenge by returning to the Union and telling of this treachery." Lonark explained.

Cystrok nodded and carefully approached the young child who only stared at him with her expressionless face. The Captain led her to the escape bay and was followed by Lonark. The little girl stepped into the last escape pod and sat down on the seats as her father took out of his pocket a discus of metal.

"This is Holo, he will help you survive on the planet, and teach you about our people." Lonark told her as he put it on her lap.

He stepped out of the small escape pod and pressed the button to close the latch. The child looked through the window to see the grief-stricken face of her father. She only stared with her blank eyes and held the metal disc in her hands.

"Avenge us." He spoke before launching the pod.

The escape pod burst from the severely damaged Na'vale'li flagship and slowly spiraled down to the planet below. The girl watched as the last few proton missiles hit and the flagship broke into two main pieces and multiple other parts drifted into the vacuum of space. She placed her hand on the window and looked at the last refuge of the Na'vale'li. Her entire race was gone, all except for her and wherever she would end up on the planet would be her new home and her new life.

She turned around and looked out of the front window of the escape pod and saw the planet she would be landing on. It was covered in swirls of white and large patches of blue along with dots of multicolored landmasses. She had heard the planet's name once before and the name was now stuck to her mind.

"Earth." She uttered before the window started to rim with fire and the pod began to enter the atmosphere.
