Only a few minutes had passed since the battle between the aliens and the explorers taken place. The group of explorers, along with the survived soldiers, had teleported back into the capital of the universal government.
The capital of the universal government was called 'Alcazar', and it was a small-sized planet, whose surface was completely covered in buildings. Not a single portion of it had remained as a bastion of its natural form, except for a few gardens. Under the crust, the minerals and metals had been harvested to such a degree, that nothing remained, except for a warm core formed by multiple perfect fire spheres, and a subterranean city.
Alcazar had long lost the status of planet, and at some point in time, had simply become a massive cluster of buildings with a few bits of earth in between.
