Part Four

Descent

Valneikian Spire

Aliso

38 ABY

The buzzing and clicking could be heard from miles away, but the Valneikian Hive was active. Picadors rode atop their mounts, patrolling the perimeter. Several other Geonosians oversaw agricultural plots, while others focused on industry. Today's focus: Speeders, to enhance the movement of the Ascendant Legion. Archduke Krullok ensured that the Dread Lord's requests were answered, no matter how unorthodox or odd.

He was moving to address Queen Duzhannu when he saw the first dartships. A dreadful wave of recognition washed over him. In its attempts to survive for so many years, the Valneikian Hive was familiar with its enemies. Especially this one.

The Archduke clicked loudly at the Picadors, who had also become aware of the incoming onslaught. His message was simple and contained two commands:

"Protect the queen! And alert the Dread Lord at once!"

While the fictional segment this time was short, it's because I'm so excited to announce that the Prologue for our latest event - Inevitable, Chapter One: The Scourge - is now LIVE!
