The feeble Bulan fleet proved to be mere prey for the merciless Thren warlords, easily torn apart like a Zon beast ripping flesh from a newborn Balan. Lava Varlock lay in his bunk on the cramped Bulan Starship, one arm draped over his ice stalks, attempting to block out the harsh reality: the war was going disastrously. In just three years, the Thren had decimated a dozen Balan colonies, destroying birthing pools, shredding defenseless larvey with plasma fire, and reducing Balan cities to slag. Varlock's ship belonged to the defense fleet, but they were consistently outmatched in speed, size, armament, and armor by the Thren ships. Retreat was their only option, while Balan civilians suffered agonizing deaths.
