Seven years after its capture, the one-time Darlok homeworld had its shield in place and no less than 16 missile bases. A larger Mrrshan attack force might have overwhelmed even that, but it was not to be ... and the Sakkra were preparing their next move to take on the galaxy. The Klackons and Alkari were already congratulating them on their successful Mrrshan battles (apparently, these somehow proved the honor in their words of peace) when the Sakkra received a Meklar declaration of open war, and with a newly-designed ion rifle for their troops and a newly-rebuilt (again) Darrian colony, RBO-29's people set out to ensure the safety of all their worlds in that corner of the galaxy.
Darrian would be glassed one final time in 2523, but that was the year as well that the fortified cat world of Gienah and the Meklar homeworld itself fell to invading Sakkra troops. A flood of new technology, including deadly Scatter Pack VIIs, set RBO-29 on a course toward the conquest of the galaxy. Two years later, after taking Escalon from the Mrrshans, rejecting a Klackon alliance but forging one with the Alkari, and taking Darrian and Misha from the Meklar people, netting class 6 shields, no-longer-advanced terraforming, and the designs for anti-matter torpedoes and a graviton beam, the Sakkra held 18 worlds and a High Council veto. As the usual transmission crossed the stars from still-hidden Orion, they prepared to name their dragon emperor High Master of the galaxy.
And found that they would fall two votes short. The only thing for it was to gain a greater proportion of the galaxy's population ... at the expense of their enemies.
The following year, they took Nordia, and the Meklar were no more. The year after, a Sakkra colony was built at Fierias - which an Alkari fleet had bombed to glass after Sakkra forces destroyed its defenses - and conquered the final Mrrshan colony, at Keeta.
The last of the Mrrshans died. The end was coming.
