Epilogue

Irassia - the former homeworld of the Irassian Concordat. Someone has relatively recently (within the last 2,000 years) gone through the trouble of systematically bombarding every square meter of the planet's surface from orbit - possibly a misguided attempt to keep the Javorian Pox from resurfacing.

Despite this, the surface is still covered in the fossilized remains of the billions of Irassians who succumbed to the plague in the final years of their empire. By the time it had spread to their homeworld, most of the worlds in the Irassian Concordat had already fallen, and their alien vassals were in open revolt.

Judging by ancient satellite logs recovered from orbit, the mood among the population on the Irassian homeworld was largely resigned by this point. The widespread panic that accompanied the first outbreaks of the pox on the colonies was largely absent, as most had come to accept the fact that the end was drawing near.
