"...The planet R-1 has been fully subdued."
"Excuse me?!" Caesar stopped reading the scroll and turned toward Theo, bewildered and unable to believe what he was hearing. "What do you mean it's been fully subdued?"
The situation on planet R-1 was undoubtedly dire. The Serpent Empire had two thorns in its side: the first was Planet Gudah, also known as R-4, which was challenging due to the planet's unique conditions and the presence of a arrogant Beast like Devos The Transcendent, making any movement there extremely difficult.
The second, R-1, was even worse due to its strong popular resistance. The locals were deeply attached to several strict laws, reproduced rapidly, and were notoriously difficult to contain. According to intelligence, Theo had gathered from prisoners, if not for the planet's production of a rare ore, the Empire would have abandoned it long ago!
