Imperium 27 - The End

After ridding the universe of the Alkari, the Meklar swept up the Darloks and all but a few of the Bulrathi. There were more efficient means of glassing the galaxy, but the Meklar were deeply reluctant to attack the Mrrshans. Even under RBO-27, some hope was held out that a permanent peace could be established with Miamar - their first interstellar contact and the first to agree to a non-aggression pact with them. She had broken the pact only once, centuries in the past, then soon agreed to re-establish it again, and in the past several decades had more than once proposed a full alliance between their peoples. It was Miamar who led the war that kept the expansionist Alkari in check even in the face of incredible odds - who had perpetuated the galactic situation that for centuries had allowed the Meklar to research in peace. If she did not desire to fight...



Sadly, she did. Misguided, cynical, and apparently not very smart, Miamar declared her ages-long peace with the Meklar people null and void just two years after they had exterminated her lifelong enemies. Obviously, she was not a friendly kitten!

The following year, the Bulrathi were no more, and the Mrrshans and Meklar were at war. Two years after that, the galactic war was effectively over.



The lone remaining Mrrshan world was a tiny colony just established by a desperation colony ship. The one and only Meklar world was...



Meklon the glorious.

Against a scattered Mrrshan fleet of scrabbled-together junk, the Meklar were fielding an invincible dreadnought and a dedicated doom fleet of planet destroyers.



None of the provisionally designed fightercraft had ever been built, and the latest - the DFM-074s - would only be built in the upcoming years to interdict yet more desperation colony missions. That game of whack-a-colship went on a bit too long, but in 2643, at last....



...the directives of RBO-27 were complete.
