However, despite our best efforts, some landed in fertile areas and they began to spread.
The fighting was brutal, no quarter given. Our artillery pounded their position. They consumed all living matter in their path, transforming into beasts that tried to assail our position.
All unfortified settlements were massacred.
The fighting went on for hours outside the major cities but all the preparation paid off. It should be noted that the Yami fought with distinction on behalf of the Empire. I hope that he grants them citizenship but if he decrees death, then so be it.
When it became clear that our forces would not be defeated, the Alachin ships left orbit abandoning their remaining forces. It still took many time cycles to fully eliminate what they left behind.
The environment of the planet suffered serious damage but should recover to its previously degraded states in little over fifty years.
From calculations of their trajectory, the Alachin ships have now left Imperial space.
May the Emperor have mercy on his humble servant.
