We knew we were vulnerable, after the Terrans landed we knew we were technologically behind, and Landing Point proved this. Around a day or so after that battle, a new group emerged, calling themselves the "Imperial Army." They weren't Humans, just a bunch of Hildani in their 20's. At first we thought nothing of these radicals, their ideals completely opposite from our elders. But that would change.

~A few weeks later~

It was a quiet afternoon. The birds were singing, the dragonians eating, and us, smiling. But one event would ruin this beautiful day for us. We heard the rumble of truck engines in the distance and figured it was another human patrol, but it wasn't. We saw soldiers, dressed in Terran attire, but looking like us, step out of the trucks. They said that they were here to remove the villages "primal ways," and that "progress was needed." I, and a group of others, decided to leave, but I would only get word of what happened a week later. Apparently, the "Imperial Army" began to take the villagers hostage and the Village Army began to attack the Imperial Army, but was quickly defeated by the guns. After this took control of the Village and began to invade other villages. After they conquered all these nations, they declared themselves as the "Empire of Rechnung."
