A long-term peace after the last war made the Titans averse off the war. Peace is that all we want, but to adapt oneself with the changing warfare tactics, war is a requirement to fit into it; otherwise, the change of 'warfare' could never be read. This stagnation may cause hazards in troubled moments, and this is what exactly happened in reality there. The land of the Titans, 'Tripura' faced a sudden attack from the 'Asur' race under the inspired command of 'Britrasur', their fresh blood warmonger leader.
The only mode to attack the Titans was a direct, head-on assault. It is rendered useless to attack the Gods from both the sides – the 'Asurs' have to traverse through a long-distance and through intense possible dangers; moreover, the Titans were secured from both the sides and the rear. From the front end, once they could disable the defensive measurements in 'Trichur', they are the first-prize winner then. 'Shovana' was used as the home for Gods, hence no deadly, devastating, complex and advanced defensive measurement could ever have been installed there. That is why defense in 'Trichur' from the front and 'Wriddhi' from the rear was made invincible. On the other hand, a direct assault on 'Trichur' will be rendered ineffective; the automated signal detectors installed here will trace any incoming signal from a very large distance, identify them, and if any potential threat is found, the safety signaling system will activate the missile launchers in no time! Consecutive missiles will trigger themselves immediately to the targets until the last of the enemy vehicle is shot down.
These missiles work somehow on the same principle as our bow and arrows; when an arrow is shot, it hurls forward to pierce the enemy. Almost the same things happen here. The only difference is a missile hits the target to burst it off instead of piercing it, with an incredible explosive strength it got! No armor can withstand two back to back missile thrusts and results into a ruin.
This fact will never come out which of the Titans were in collaboration with the 'Asurs' and how the accomplices helped into the mass genocide of their own kind. One thing is sure when the 'Asurs', under command of Britrasur started looking at the Titans eye to eye, when the Armageddon unleashed from the invader's end, the legendary defense system of 'Trichur' remained silent! No warning was ever issued, no missile launched from the Titan's end, the weapons fired by the invaders just destroyed all the satellites and security zones one by one installed by the Titans.
After the fall of 'Trichur', 'Shovana' did not take much time to yield. The invading 'Asurs' were put to some test in 'Swarga', they got some well-considered damage in this part of the 'Tripura' Kingdom. Unfortunately, the Gods could not lock their feet for more due to the shortage of Ammunitions and supplies. At last, the 'Asurs' breached their walls and the Gods surrendered themselves to the 'Asurs'. The Titans, once a proud race finally finds themselves on knees. The overwhelming force of invaders takes over the famous 'Tripura' kingdom.
But, the end calls for a fresh restart, the destruction involves rebuild; and the process is Eternal. This is the point that one must remember.
An Explorer's team of the Gods was returning home at the exact moment of invasion at the end of their exploration for a New World. Bhagban Indradev led the team. He was very young back then; Bhagban Vishnudev was not born yet, his arrival was destined to be in some later era.
The residing Gods made the team aware of this sudden-attack and invasion when the exploring team was out in the open cosmos. The Headquarter of Gods warned them and advised to stay put into the matter, but Indradev denied the advice straight and kept moving forward for some assistance from their end. Unfortunately, the territory of 'Tripura' kingdom fell before their assistance could serve them to any cause anymore.
Clever Indradev could realize that any more advancement towards 'Home' will bring on death to him and his entire team. He then made a bold and daring decision; he ordered all the vehicles led by him to turn around immediately and haul the anchors there until he returns. Then he put himself in a swift vessel along with some daredevil companions and advanced forward to look into the matter and estimate the losses and casualties taken in the invasion. He sorted out exactly, 'Shovana' would be the first place to go down with low defensive measurements in it; he headed for the 'Swarga' instead. The path to the 'Swarga' was quite risky and the journey was dangerous! They had some skirmishes on the way with some enemy vehicles of the invaders.Still, he could manage to land on 'Swarga' anyways. There he collected some important data, maps, and supplies needed to survive deep into space. He was able to rescue some of the wounded Gods secretly and managed to fly away silently from the spot. Later, he joined his team in the safe zone beyond the enemy line. At last, they just went away with the survivors and started for an uncertain destiny. I am not sure about it, but they might be the last of their kind.
