54. Khahandahar: the Age of darkness

Captain's Interview day 174: as shocked as I was to hear of the Polagh presence on earth a solid 900 years before the Adamantium wars, I composed myself and continued listening to the princess' monologue. "In a blink, the entire estate disappeared in the belly of the space ship and went off in the darkness of space. The records of what happened on the voyage are unclear, but we know the Polagh eliminated my great grandfather as he stood up for his people. Shortly after, our people were brought into hibernation and did not wake up before we arrived in this place." Kyrone sighed. "The next 400 years are known as 'the second dark age'", the princess continued, "Housed below ground we were enslaved to mine Drgavskite, the fuel used for Polagh ships, a material so unstable it required our delicate touch. Times were tough but we endured". Morthen, who was sitting in the back, came closer as the story progressed. Entranced by the similarities to his own upbringing.
