Imperitannica .. RACES.. The Jogarth.
EMPRESS IMPERICA.. ISABELLANI.. 
Ruthless and one who was, IS hated, loved, revered across the Qiverse and note the term
ACROSS the QIverse.
Her race the Jogarth were SLAVERS.. Any race, anywhere would be fairly accurate. HER biograohy is one you could admire.. rage or feel wrath over what she has done..
Abuser, user and terrifying POWER is what she HAS and none will take that away from her. Interference, meddling and YOU will feel her wrath.
A cold blooded killer might be a truth. BUT to say she does NOT share LOVE or give it is unfair..
SOME in her past share an unbreakable bond with
her.
Take no prisoners is NOT true.. She will willingly take PRISONERS.. as slaves..
The Jogarth use a slave band the technology is a secret known only to them. It removes ALL willpower, all reasoning and resistance.
IN exchange YOU WILL obey, conform AND if you are so ordered. DIE to protect the Jogarth,
Her imperial Empress with your miserable life..
Anora is her daughter, Ketlet kith and kin who is
heir to the Empire should Isabellani fall in battle or ?!
Anora is at the Kets Akademy..
Unlike Isabellani, Anora is much loved by many Kets / Ketlets.. and has earned their love and affection.
Isabellani does not seek such NOR expects Anora to be a ‘soft touch’.
Motherly love.. forget it.. she demands that Anora is hard faced.. tough and would not entertain tears or emotional outbursts from her.. HER armies, military consorts and all JOGARTH on her flagship the INFERNO.. wear RED..
THAT is the trademark of ALL Jogarth.. militia.
All original HERITAGE Jogarth have a distinctive BLUE tinge to their skin.. hence they are known as BLUE BLOODS. They have a biological PROGENESIS digestive system.. internal organs and what we Human(a) would call relative physiology and anatomy to ours.
Isabellani is proud of her body. Skin care, protection is absolute. Apart from her militia she has a couteige of slaves who look after all of her needs re skin care, hair care, bathing, dressing.
Foods and drinks.. the Jogarth had some particular choices re what they eat but in general diet is more high protein and bio chemically balanced. 
In her presence NO slave may look her directly in the eyes, eye to eye or face execution; EXECUTION..
Her blade, will slice of the head with ease.. The sabre lance is a powerful weapon and she always keeps one close to her.
Displeasure from ANY beit slaves or ?! NOT a good idea.. no warning off with your head.. NO I am not jesting!
The Jogarth have treaties, alliances AND share a Military.. ENSLAVEMENT CODE. NO Jogarth will steal the slaves of those such as the Vendarens.. OMINI protected worlds.. or those protected by the Gods of Creation the Anu..
The Snoi are a race that has an alliance with the Jogarth.
Their militia produce and provide mechapods. Terrifying and as ruthless as Isabellani .. they can raid worlds, seize slaves and put them to work in their factories.
Thousands of those mechapods made to a stolen design. thieved technology that race are welcomed by the Jogarth. Backing up their militia with powerful titan cannons. Once fired that stream can vaporise anything in its path.
If a shadow walker appears Isabellani will give respect to IT..
bathing ITs feet as a symbol of reverence. deemed the holiest of holies..
She will not incur the displeasure or the wrath of such beings.
Equal to the original creators of all ... the Gods of Creation.. THEY cannot be killed, they are ‘immortai’ Hostility or any attempt to maim or kill will invoke the 13th of their number.. 
!2 in total.. the 13th is the punisher.. it KILLS the transgressor
SLOWLY.. in such a manner NONE will dare to invoke it.
punishment WILL be not only the transgressor/s but all closest to them.
Hence the Shadow walkers are with their SOUL companions revered, respected and always welcome. ALL will drop to their knees before such beings.
Isabellani will execute any who dare to offend such a revered being.
She will NOT accept any pleas of ignorance or for mercy.
ALL Jogarth know her ruling re that.
Another reason is as isabellani and other know.. the Shadow walker can bless them.. An illness. an affliction.. IT can heal, can restore and grant blessings.. One touch and they are healed..
IT does not differentiate between master and slave..
BUT for now lets see an example of the way the Jogarth work..
The Jogarth were aboard the Jogarth Imperium Ijilis battle cruiser .Loaded with slaves taken from another one of their raids on a Shui Dynasty world. An ancient race. Beings descended from the Human(a)? It was rumoured they were part of the original Jopen. Princess Consort Lia was at war with the Jogarth.
Normally the Jogarth would NOT dare to intrude upon their worlds. This outpost was a small newly formed colony with the main encampment and buildings still under construction. NO installed weapons though work was being in progress re the bases to house the main cannon arrays. 
Here on Mioxi a newly ‘terraformed’ planet the colonists were having to complete the processes needed re the rivers, lakes, mountains and the list went on... Lia had joined them, to give them, some much appreciated encouragement.
Mostly males with a few females but no Ketlevlings (children). Too much going on to be babysitting! The only time they stopped working was for refreshments, to use the cleanser units OR to give thanks to their Goddess Anu..
Ah yes. the Goddess of creation known as Anu.
The mother it is said of the ancient Annunaki. Truly a terrifying race of genetic sciestes who manipulated beings to produce a slave force though most of them were disposed to producing a happy contented progenesis produced life form.
Human(a) in form. Though sometimes but rare, other races such as the Ulruk, a winged beast with the beak of a bird?
The Ulruk could fly, were reasonably intelligent AND could lift let alone CARRY huge weights. Shifting massive blocks of stone, picking them up and placeing them wherever their masters wanted them placed.
The colony, had not brought any of the Ulruk, with them. Some were cursing that the work was far more intense without them! Nims was one of the males. He was an experienced mason, with stone skills, to have the base, quickly shaped, from liquid solid rock, mostly territe, a form of granite. Liquid form, was easier to manage, than the more solid cutting and shaping.
Soon the main base was completed. They could now install the cannons and finish off the other necessities to make them operational. With some protection they would at least be protected from attack. Attack from would be invaders was nothing new to them.
Mercenaries,,pirates, raiders; call them what you like, but they brought their own hell with them. Little or no morality, violent, greedy killers, slavers, thieves, looters. Vaik were one race and they were found throughout the Qiverse committed to anything they deemed necessary to achieve their evil intent.
As for other races? The most feared amongst them were the Kalheiron. Savage indifferent even the raiders would run from them, well if they could, more often their craft was taken and sold for scrap whilst the occupants were executed OR enslaved though the Kalheiron did NOT keep slaves they always sold them on or traded them.
Lia knew, until the cannons were installed, even with the weapons, from her own battle cruiser, they would be open to attack from would be invaders; raiders. NOT so much other races as this planet terra formed was new.
NOT on the Qiverse maps so to speak. Isolated; unknown. 
Unknown to Lia the Jogarth has been tracking her craft. Now the revelation of a new colony on a newly reformed planet?
Rich pickings AND they too could take over the planet send in their forces aided by the Snoi. A race of robotic clones with the ‘Clrons mechpods... the mobile battle units, supporting ground troops?
The Zeloi had set up production of their Zoboi.. a huge monstrosity of a mechapod.. that had speed, strength and a powerful weapons array.. including ones that could target from a massive distance due to its field spectral array technology.
Out of sight out of mind.. truth indeed to what was about to happen..
NOT that Lia was without her military forces. Over 300 resting inside her battle cruiser after they had taken out a Jogarth Snoi outpost. From the air destroying two ‘Clrons’ mechapod manufacturing sites.
The bombing had been effective. The damage report sent to the Jogarth Imperial battle cruiser not far from the
sites, The other side of the planet and too occupied with unloading slaves to work in the Snoi factories?
Now interrupted by the arrival of a Mobillien Class A battle cruiser.. Lia smiled.. at their weakest..
A vulnerability in the defense systems of the Jogarth vessel that were OFFLINE when loading slaves into their cages.
Landing troopers, her veteran Commander Taia, had made sure, any remaining Snoi units were destroyed.
The Snoi let alone the Jogarth, were enraged, that they had foolishly been taken by surprise?
Unloading slaves is a task, that involves the craft, being vulnerable, as weapons systems are almost non existent.
Luckily Taia had not attacked the main slave ship holding cages. Mostly due to the fact that Lia had a rule,.
They were not to be attacked she did not want to kill innocents?
The Jogarth weapons systems had been targeted to good effect. There was no intent on Lia or Taia’s part to destroy that vessel.. Boarding it would be a warzone.. one they were NOT going for... the Jogarth cruiser took off at some speed,. into deep space.
SLAVES who landed up in the cages were lost.. the bands would take away all they had ever been.. It was unknown to them of any way they could be removed without death to the slave..
The FACT was they, had caught the Jogarth commander napping.. and the Jogarth were NOT without some desire to seek revenge.,
It had meant the Jogarth would not be long in following them. Their weapons arrays primed to destroy her craft.
A large M class Mastrich 4 Mobellium powered cruiser; heavily shielded. That, they knew would pose problems for them. HOWEVER, arriving above? This planet and the new colonists? Were a target NOT to be missed.
Retribution,. was something they, were all in favour of.
The Snoi released their ‘Clrons’ mechapod mobile battle units.
Lia had not been slow to respond.
The cannons were active and combined with her battle cruisers weapons? The Snoi were attempting to destroy the cannons with little success.
Too much power now focused on them. Moving targets, that stumbled into more and more cross fire.
BUT the Zeloi, had now set up their targetting arrays and so far from the target area the Jogarth knew nothing of them before the strike hit home..
Blown apart, the Snoi mechapods.. ? the ‘lids’ on them, flying into the air above them. Whilst the destruction continued .. elsewhere !?
The Jogarth.. had realized too late their mistake. Ground forces.
Time to ensure the Clone troopers did NOT leave empty..
Focusing their attention on unprotected ground supplies. NOT good.
Too late Lia AND Taia realized they had been left unattended, unprotected,.
The pilfering was intense.
Looting was profitable, with some key components re weapons and other colony essentials.
Such as air conditioning and filtration units. Structural beams and hoisting units, with the AI control modules, now seized and stolen. Taken aboard the main Jogarth vessel.
The remaining ‘essentials’ trashed, as the Clone troopers left to board the Jogarth cruiser.
The Snoi, had lost 3 of their Clrons’ mechapods mobile. battle units.
Apart from the installed clone robotic units, expensive technology; that had now been destroyed.
Wreckage scattered like leaves on the wind.. Fragmented, twisted, shattered.
BUT the raid on supplies had been at least some restitution.
Isabellani IF the Empress was displeased was not to be even considered. Executions would follow..
Supplies, technology and more costs a lot of Draxetnium. Taia had consoled Lia, they still had defended and secured the planet. Defense systems were now fully operational. Tobot and Mechapod arrays with targeting cannons..Space launched early warning satellites; the Jogarth would NOT be back.
The investment in this planet was well worth it. The mining of Drax would refill the coffers with an abundance of that available. Precious metals, minerals and silica substrates.
Truth was, the Snoi and the Jogarth, had been taught a lesson from the off as to her power. The second attack, was a nightmare encounter for her BUT, the colony had survived; albeit annoyed, precious supplies had been lost, which, would take some time, to replace.
In the meantime, some modifications, could be made to compensate for some of the losses.
Removing certain items from the wreckage of the Snoi mechpods and her main battle cruiser would help.
The rest, absolute essentials she would see replaced, whilst picking up new supplies, from the nearby trading planet Losui 5, a heavily defended outpost. NONE dare attack that..
Some delight in relaying the facts re the Snoi .. they were compromised. The ‘factory’ sites would take time, to get operational again. Those who had been freed from the enslavement by the Jogarth were more than willing to help Lia. Skills, much needed skills that were now being put to good use.
Else where the Jogarth commander, had felt angry, that he had been compromised. He knew that one of the Jogarth Emperica by the name of Cassi was now headed to dock with his craft.
The arrival of the Jogarth Imperium Cassi had been good news. 
It elevated the mood of the crew. Some of the stolen cargo had been a bonus with some new technology they had not seen before.
Crates of vital components, previously destroyed, plus over 2000 slaves? NOT given lightly without her taking over the entire facility.
However Cassi was not without some anger. She would NOT, allow another incident like this, to happen again. Her imperial Empress Isabellani, had made one thing clear.
The destruction of that new colony, the seizure of all of its assets.
BUT first, allow the colonists there, to start the mining processes.
Then they, would launch their attack.
NOW they would be on full alert the defenses primed for any further incursion by the Jogarth.. The Mobillien Type A was one of the most powerful made..
It could have easily, destroyed the Jogarth slave vessel.
Not sure why they had not had NOT entered her mind..
Weak, emotional and emotive, the slaves.. they spared them.
NOW she knew they had a weakness. she would remember that.
So why had the commander disobeyed the instruction and attempted to seize slaves? Making their presence known.. She ordered the commander to be placed in chains and sent to her Empress.
What had been achieved in the second raid had appeased her on discovering that there was some new weapons AND, some captured equipment to be taken apart, copied and modified.
Technology they did NOT have, now in their hands thanks to Lia?
Cassi had the commander demoted and given 20 lashes.. it had been reported to the Jogarth high command and they had accepted her punishment choices. Cassi they knew was one of their finest..
Resolute no nonsense and a favoured one of their Empress Isabellani.
Lia had realized, the value, of some of the stolen items. New weapons, using adapted ion technology.
Cursing she knew, it would not be long, before they would adapt that to their weapons arrays.
She needed help. Someone or something to infiltrate the base, destroy those items? A much needed distraction and her saboteur could slip in to carry out the destruction, maybe put in some explosive devices? Detonation of certain ?
Time to make a call...
To be continued..
