618 The Volga Way

The city was swept clear of the Volga defence forces for the next twenty hours. Everyone who was found to belong to the remains of a government agency or military force was brought to the yard of the Capital Building to wait and ensure that there were no ongoing hostilities in the city, and boredom set in for the Mecha forces in the Capital. 

Max learned over the course of that day that the Volga, for all of the arrogance of their leaders, were strictly Caste based in nature and were mostly incapable of disobeying their superiors, much like many insect species. 

That made their job easier, as the civilians recognized the humans as the leadership caste once the planets had fallen, and most of the requested personnel willingly turned themselves in, while the citizenry turned in those who tried to resist their nature or the right of the humans to rule over them.
