What if... Ratchet instead of ending up on Solaris ends up being raised by human parents in the Federation.
Follow the voyage of Ratchet, the first Lombax to join Starfleet. Rivet, a Lombax raised instead of Ratchet on Veldin and the heroine of Pola...
A Lombax was running carrying a baby while the hallway windows showed the Lombax city in flames and explosions followed by the sound of gunshots and screams of terror and despair.
Kaden couldn't believe it, his homeworld. On fire, it happened too fast even before the Lombax could act.
They were now being evacuated to a dimensional portal that would lead them to a new planet on the Azimuth Court. Away from Tachyon, his wife. He knew nothing of his wife, he had found the baby in the hospital in one of the incubators but there was no sign of his wife.
He had to act quickly and the only way? To get his son out of this hell.
Azimuth... Alister Azimuth, he would be punished for this in exile but they had to get his race out, that isn't the priority now.... He had to get his son away from here.
The road to Azimuth's Court was crowded with drophyd soldiers on Tachyon's orders. Massacring any Lombax in their path.
Tachyon... Yes, he should never have been trusted, Alister made the mistake of letting him have access to the data of the military weapons of his entire race. The Cragmites, bitter enemies of his race, and they were there for a reason. To avenge their defeat against the Lombaxes for the Great War.
Kaden noticed the door in front which opened automatically as it revealed a evacuation capsule.
He quickly put it inside as he closed the glass hatches. Kaden couldn't help but cry silently "My little.... Kyeran... I know you will never remember me... Nor will you ever see me or your mother but just know.... That we love you..."
He walked over to a console to the side as he keyed a couple of buttons.
AI: Destination set, Solana, planet Veldin.
The capsule was entered into a liftoff launcher as Kaden pressed the button.
PAWOOSSSHHHHHHH.
Kaden watched from the screen as the capsule shot into the sky as the battle between Praetorian Guard ship forces and Tachyon forces fought as the enemy was winning the battle due the Lombax technology stolen be the Cragmite.
An enemy ship hit the thrusters with a shot.
BANG!
AI: Alert! Propulsion system failure, Alert, propulsion system failure.
Kaden looked horrified "NO!"
A spatial rift began to form ahead as the thrusters exploded creating a shockwave that separated the capsule from the thrusters entering the hole which closed after it entered.
KABOOM!
The doors exploded behind the Lombax who did nothing but fall to his knees awaiting his end.
BANG!
A gunshot echoed through the room, as Planet Fastoon. The home of the Lombax race burned unstoppable and the Lombax race fell and survivors run away in another dimension.
