The scout calls for backup.
Within instants, several thousand harvesters appear out of the Void and begin to head for the origin of the missiles.

The missiles keep coming, showing little intention of letting up.
/"Resist? Why wouldn't I? As futile as it may or may not be, you're filth. And filth must be swept. Despite that, if you think this is resistance, you've underestimated Qaenrough."/
QUALIA continues using minor scanners on the missiles to slowly assess the Hov'ghoptu ship structures.

The vessels approach various inhabited worlds, showing up only as massive energy spikes.

"THE HARVEST IS NON-NEGOTIABLE."
A massive vessel several thousand kilometers in length appears out of the Void near a UPRQ planet.
It thrusts towards the planet, priming it's several hundred kilometer long grappling arms to wrap around the planet.

A network of orbiters relay energy and create a shield similar to the external shield of a battleship. A few larger torpedoes fire into the predicted weak spot of the ship.

The ship's arms go right through the shield as though it isn't there, impacting the planet's surface and wrapping around it, pulling the planet out of orbit.

Exiting warp but remaining at very high speeds is a frigate, filled stock full of deterioration charges, and unmanned. It impacts the ship and the deterioration material wraps around it, eating away at it's upper armour.

The ship's armor rebuilds itself using spare energy.
The ship begins to crack the planet's crust and break it down into raw energy.

The orbiters begin floating out into space without the proper pull from the world. Radio signals from the planet go silent and all lights flicker out.
/"Estimated toll: 10.12 trillion."/
Several more do the same thing, aiming for the predicted weak spot.

The vessel rips the planet apart, breaking it all down into pure energy before reconfiguring itself, and beginning to pump out new vessels.
"WE NEED MORE."
