The battle prayer of the Hataloqualtar, the feared order of cybernetically enhanced warrior priests, was famous in Calerost. A mix of a prayer and a battle cry, it stood for everything they did. It is believed in Calerost that no heretic who hears it will ever get to hear it a second time.
The boarding pod slammed into the Ch’ratan slave ship. They ware armed with the finest weapons and armor the Gil-atarnië had to offer and trained to peak physical perfection, as well as enhanced with the greatest biotechnological augmentation Calerost had to offer. The ch’ratan had no chance. They spread trough the ship like the shockwave of a atomic bomb. It took only a few moments. The whole host of the ship was slaughtered, while they didn’t suffer a single loss. More than a thousand slaves ware freed that day.
It was one of many raids on ch’ratan slave ships Calerost had done since the start of the crusade. The ch’ratan slave market was cut in half because of the sheer volume of calerostan raids, and the consequences ware felt across the whole Tiyanki territories.
Calerost had gained a lot of respect, as well as a lot of enemies, but no one dared to challenge them. It was one of the great powers of the territory, without a single world colonized in it. Tiyanki march was run from a single starbraker located in a rented out system. A marvelous achievement, but Calerost didn’t want it to stay that way. It wanted a secured permanent presence, and to do that they needed a colony, but there wasn’t a opening. Calerost luckily knows to play the long game, it would only take time.
