The maturation of [Thought Imprint] technology led Lü Yongchang to turn his attention to the lizardfolk who were still content to do nothing.
In a stellar system twenty-seven light-years from the Kepler-452 Stellar System, the lizardfolk eked out their lives aboard starships.
These dilapidated starships, large and small, either drifted through space or traveled in synchronous orbit around a planet.

Another reason was that the Eugene Emperor still harbored a faint hope.
One day, sooner or later, they would find an opportunity to lead a small fleet out of this lightless prison.
