Shatrujeet!

By G W Morgan

Telmesch was just the latest outer provincial town on an outlander world raided and pillaged by trans-stellar capable pirates. They would sell their captives in the notorious Jodar slave markets to buyers from compatible worlds in the Sacorsti Alliance, or any of the Non-Aligned stellar states. Vida, his jawan scouts, and the entire Southwest Frontier Brigade were well acquainted with Jodari avarice, and someday, there would come a reckoning. Nevertheless, this level of destruction and brutality was something new. Bloody evidence of the shattering effect of the pirates' weapons lay strewn all around them. The terrestrial building material could not withstand the SK projectiles' focused kinetic energy and dense, asteroidal metal alloy fragments. Even single shots from small arms tore through walls and detonated, killing anyone behind them. >Where were the Coldasi troops?Where are they now? They have me secure a few techie constables and give me one investigator as support. Coldasi is not home.Nor is it part of the Monarchy. These are not my people.The Canons of Human Rights required His Majesty extend it. We must defend these people.You've prepared yourself for this all of your life, Vida reminded himself. Liberate the oppressed, defend the weak, and mete out the Khan's justice. This is your oath. This is what Men of Tar Lech means; 'Groans of wounded peasants dying, wails of wives and children flying, for the distant succor crying, call you, Tar Lech men.'This, this is what I was born to do. If Father can't accept that, then so be it. Fight one war at a time, Cas. Remember that.
