The first 200 lines.
An entire planet.
Destroyed and harvested in only four days.
Impressive, my lord.
Sevryn, I hunger for more worlds.
Hmm.
Allow me to offer you... Terra.
The ice planet.
Rich in a plenitude of resources.
Its indigenous population are common, simple.
Their technology inferior to our own.
Therefore, any resistance to our efforts...
Would be easily suppressed.
Confiscate what remains of their precious metals,
their materials, all resources vital to fortify
absolute power over your galactic dominion.
Hmm.
I have harvested celestial stars
and asteroids with greater abundance.
But lacking what Terra offers.
Highly concentrated forms of these materials
that cannot be found on any other star,
nor moon, nor celestial object
in any system that you have vanquished
or have yet to conquer.
There are great enemies in our midst.
The survival of the Ocron Blood demands a
Sovereign Chancellor who wields authority in the infinite.
High concentrations of these vital elements.
Terra may be weak and dying,
but its resources remain more potent and more powerful
than those you have harvested from
any other star that you have crushed with ease.
Ah, Terra.
So...
...serene in its tranquility.
Annihilate this world.
I will consume all that it has to offer.
Rule by fear, rule by might!
King Walter will face the night!
Rule by fear, rule by might!
King Walter will face the night!
Rule by fear, rule by might!
King Walter will face the night!
Rule by fear, rule by might!
King Walter will face the night!
Rule by fear, rule by might!
King Walter will face the night!
Rule by fear, rule by might!
King Walter will face the night!
Rule by fear, rule by might!
King Walter will face the night!
Rule by fear, rule by might!
King Walter will face the night!
No more chains! No more rings!
The end of tyranny! The end of kings!
No more chains! No more rings!
The end of tyranny! The end of kings!
No more chains! No more rings!
The end of tyranny! The end of kings!
The prince shows!
Put down your axe, Prince Eli.
Our quarrel is not with you.
Enough!
My father is not cruel nor unjust.
He rules with a fair hand.
You live here in decadence, while our
people starve and shiver beyond the gates.
Your father's regime is as corrupt as it gets.
It ends now.
I do not wish to fight you,
but I will defend my kingdom and my father's name.
He subjugates his people through the rationing
of resources that should be available to all.
It ends today.
Step aside now, Prince Eli.
That weapon has some kind of magic.
I've given you fair warning.
Now leave this place.
Stay back.
Final warning.
We will not go unheard on this day.
This insurrection shall not meet the ends for which you aim.
By the Forge of Bremenord!
Something has crashed!
What has happened?
What has happened to you?
Tell me what has happened.
Tell me, villager.
Hey!
Harvester engine deployed to Terra.
Sentries!
What is the cause of this disturbance?
Father!
It is a Harvester engine.
The Ocron Blood have invaded our world.
The Ocron Blood have come here?
Are you absolutely certain?
I've seen the harvester engine with my own eyes.
Spilled their blood with my very weapon.
You must protect Bremenord at all costs.
Keep the Forge safe, no matter what stands in your way.
Father, the Forge?
Your concern is with the Forge?
We need to protect our kingdom, our people,
not some childhood myth.
Your mother told you those stories
and she's no longer here.
because of the mistakes I have made.
My days are nearing their conclusion.
And you will take my place.
That is why you must promise me
that you will keep the Forge safe.
You must stop the Ocron blood.
Show you are able to rule these lands.
Father, I don't understand.
The Forge is very real.
A volcano...
infused with a particular magic that is now and
has remained the primary source
of energy upon which the House of Bremenord has always relied.
Your mother left...
because she wished...
to share this vital resource with the other kingdoms.
Urged me to do so, but...
I would not allow it.
And if that meant...
losing my wife...
and another child...
I was prepared to make that sacrifice.
Father, what do you mean, another child?
Do I have a sibling?
Father, answer me.
Your mother is no longer with us.
But your sister...
may still live.
Father...
Sister, you...
you have never once spoken a word of her to me, how...
How could you keep this from me for so long?
It was the only option.
How? Why?
It is not your place to question me on such matters.
You expect me to rule these lands when you are gone.
But you keep secrets of great importance from me.
What else have you chosen to keep from me?
Father... we are under attack.
If I have a sister, I should know where to find her.
She may be able to help us.
Once that Harvester engine
anchors to the core, this planet dies.
Along with everything on it.
Kriatora...
Perisiphone...
and Ryar.
He destroyed those planets
in Alpha Centauri for his own gain.
And now he intends to use the resources from our planet
to fuel his power
fortifying his armor.
If that should happen,
he will be unstoppable.
Father...
I will not allow Bremenord to fall
under Faurtax and the Ocron Blood.
You have my word.
Unite your kingdom.
Go to Craeus.
Correct the mistakes I have made...
...and your forces shall be legion.
Craeus?
Father, Craeus is the rebel's stronghold.
You will need allies.
Even if they are enemies now.
Convince them to fight by your side.
Faurtax has armies that are ready to die for him.
You must recruit the best fighters in this kingdom
in order to reach this Harvester engine and dismantle it.
I will not fail you, Father.
Sovereign Chancellor,
Prince Eli of Bremenord and sole heir to King Walter's rule
has destroyed the signal array
and murdered four of my scout team.
Establish guards around the perimeter.
But the Harvest engine must not
stop drilling to the planet's core.
The heir of Bremenord remains a threat.
He has access to resources and allies which could
be gathered as a countermeasure to your efforts.
My lord, allow me to deal with this threat.
I will hunt down this Prince of Bremenord.
Atrious, you and Sevryn take a dropship
to the planet's surface.
You find this Prince Eli and you exterminate him.
Yes, my lord.
Sammara, it is I, Prince Eli.
I have come on an urgent crisis that threatens all of our lives.
You have come a long way from
the comfort and excess of the Citadel.
I find it rather dubious that you would come for
anything other than confrontation.
