Observer: An Epilogue

When the Federation first laid its eyes on Planet 106x9, it knew what it had to do. As with all new species, the Federation first needed to get a grasp on whether or not people would be accepting of the new species. That mean observations were in order.

Observer Prime’s first look at 106x9 was filled with wonder and amazement. He was enchanted by the wondrous creature’s society and life. However, the Federation had different eyes with which to view the species. They saw them merely as a source of income in the form of taxes.

At Observer’s reports, and minor dealings with the ruling equines, the Federation learned of the planets great riches and no defense. It was a gold mine. After hearing the Federation’s plans, Observer knew he had to do something to stop the planet’s ruin.

Observer’s death accomplished his task; the equines discovered his last recording after it landed on the planet. Eventually it found its way to the ruling equines. With the information of the impending attack they were able to form a hasty defense against the Federation’s raiding ships.

The casualties on both sides climbed higher and higher until finally the Admiral called off the attack. The equines had won the battle, the first battle in centuries, but at a terrible cost. Whatever innocence they'd had before the fight was gone now. The equines knew the true horrors that lied outside their little planet. Theirs was a broken world.

On the Fleet's retreat, the admiral was left with a choice. It was Federation protocol to destroy possible threats to the central worlds. The admiral, however, decided against it. The planet remained and began to heal. At his return to headquarters he was charged with treason against the Federation. With his last words he denounced the Federation's tactics.

Few on planet 106x9 knew of Observer; those that did knew his sacrifice for the planet.

Forever immortalized at the Location Alpha castle, he will always be close to the planet and species that he loved.
