"Supreme One, I may have a solution to our sustenance problem." A stump rose from the center console and a small crystal slid up from the center.
"Show me."
"When our Empire was far reaching we had farm planets scattered about. We had to abandon some as they became unproductive."
A light passes through the crystal showing a planet.
"We left this one after an asteroid destroyed our stock, Supreme One." as he spoke the image echoes the words he is speaking."
"This is helpful how?"
"I found reference to this planet and thought it prudent to check. Our stock is gone but new stock propagated there and it is plentiful!"
The image changed and shows four limbed beings of various sizes and colors.
"Where is it?" the Supreme One moves closer and examines the chart. After finding what he is looking for he turns to his subordinate in a rage. "Incompetent! We no longer have the ability to travel that far!"
"Forgive me, Supreme One, but I also found that we have an ancient gate that can take us right to the planet.
The Supreme One salivated in response.
Shortly after the subordinate is leading the Supreme One down past layers and layers of long forgotten shafts, it seems as if they would reach the core of the planet. Slightly before the Supreme One's patience disappeared they arrived at a cavern that contained a large diamond shaped gate. Surrounding the gate were dozens of Harvester drones.
"This is it?" inquired the Supreme One, when confirmation was given he nodded.
His subordinate reorganized some crystals on a pillar next to the gate. The crystals glowed red, similar crystals on the gate glowed the same red and produced gouts of red flames which flowed to the center of the diamond shape. On the other end of the gate the flames increased in size and strength, blowing the top off of a mountain.
