Story[]
Part 1[]
Kora works the fields and is pursued by Den, a local farmer. Kora has only spent 2 seasons at Veldt and says that she is a product of war, and that the idea of family was beaten out of her as she was turned into a soldier.
The villagers saw the dreadnought enter their atmosphere. Kora alerts the villagers. Gunnar is a farmer who advocates dealing with the Imperium as partners, but Kora says that Imperium can only subjugate and never partner. Gunnar sold the excess produce to rebels in the previous season, and Kora wants Imperium to be given what they ask for, before they dig too deep. Sindri, the head of the village refuses to negotiate with the Imperium.
Kora wanted to flee the village when Gunnar and Den decide to give the Imperium what they want and depend on their mercy for survival. Kora, finds the other soldiers holding another villager Sam (Charlotte Maggi) and Aris hostage, preparing to sexually assault Sam, and kills them with help from Jimmy, who has defected from the soldiers. This is unprecedented as Jimmys have not killed anyone since Issa was killed. Kora warns the villagers that Noble will massacre the village once he returns, unless they mount a defense.
Kora and Gunnar depart for the port town of Providence to recruit warriors for the village's defense, including Titus, a disgraced Imperium general who turned his own forces on the Motherland. Gunnar accompanies Kora to find the Bloodaxe whom he supplied grain in the last season. During their journey, she reveals to Gunnar that she once served the Imperium as a soldier, having been adopted and renamed to Arthelais by Balisarius, an Imperium commander, after he killed her family and eradicated her home planet's population when she was 9 years old. At the age of 18, she became an officer and was given a command position. She was now fighting on distant worlds under the banner of an empire that killed her entire family. She became bodyguard to Motherworld princess Issa, who was expected to usher in an end to the Imperium's conquests. Issa was rumored to have the power to give life. She was unable to protect Issa during her coronation, when the royal family (King and Queen) was assassinated, and Balisarius subsequently declared himself regent before renewing its conquests.
