Know Thy Enemy: It's Name is Sathar!

<div>The purpose of this posting is to outline an idea for a story for Frontier Explorer magazine (2019). </div><div><br /></div><div>Spacefleet Intelligence Agency (SFIA)</div><div><br /></div><div>Special Agent Dox Redlum, Human, male</div><div><br /></div><div>Special Agent Zk'ul'eeK, Vrusk, female</div><div><br /></div><div>Redlum and Zk'ul'eek travel to an asylum on Gran Quivera to interview the last survivor of an infamous concentration camp on New Pale from the First Sathar War.</div><div><br /></div><div>The camp is known in the Frontier by the name of a destroyed Human settlement -- Mogkton -- that was nearby. A place of horrors, the Sathar experimented on captives to determine how long it would take them to die of starvation, from dehydration, their limits of pain tolerance, heat tolerance, cold tolerance, etc. The worms also conducted genetic manipulation on some of the prisoners.</div><div><br /></div><div>All told, it is estimated that 2,000-3,000 New Pale settlers died at the camp. This represented a good portion of the planet's mostly Human colonists. During this time, the planet had been a Pan Galactic controlled agricultural colony, so many of the victims were PGC employees.</div><div><br /></div><div>When the worms were finally driven out of Truane's Star, only about a dozen captives were liberated from Mogkton. </div>
