Compared to our civil wars the war against the Fenshians was really a blood bath, and not a war at all. We did not stand a chance against beings that were so big, and our weapons were next to useless against them. If you want to picture what it was like think of a spear going into a big lake covered in ice, it sticks into the ice momentarily and then sinks and disappears, or it just bumps across the surface to no real effect.
Well you cannot expect it to have any effect on something that is more than one hundred, and seventy-five thousand tons anyway. Especially since us Dochani are rarely able to carry more than one thousand tons, and we cannot expect to be trying to carry it by employing one hundred, and seventy-five Dochani. It just does not work that way. Also, throughout the war the Fenshians used their ships and their science to level Dochani Beta to ash, and dust.
It made it worse when they had a device connected to the ships that would just harvest the Dochani as crops, and eat them after some processing like a rather large juicer, or blender. The Fenshians systematically destroyed the buildings, farmland, trees, flora, fauna, animals, and the Dochani more than they were already destroyed. It was like the items on the ground were never there in the first place.
Everything on land was destroyed and even the lakes, seas, and oceans were polluted. At first we thought that our homeland would never be rebuilt from its ashes upon ashes of what was left of it, but in time a small part of it was partially rebuilt. Even though that small part was rebuilt, this stain of the Fenshians would never leave us because most of Dochani Beta would never be rebuilt.
My people have called it the karma stain because no Dochani can live there and karma is non existent in most spots that is charred into hard stone that has the appearance of lava stone. Some Dochani say that it could eventually replenish itself, but most are doubtful that it would be restored in many Dochani lifetimes.
Possibly it would take as long as the Dochani have been in existence to replenish the karma, maybe even longer. The part that was rebuilt was the part that had the gateways to the other two hundred million worlds. It was something about so much karma being used in one spot that it created enchantments that protected the land from contamination.
After the devourers devoured the Dochani people, buildings, metals, minerals and all other substances needed to sustain growth on the planet they left to go to another planet to devour it everyone supposed because no one really knew as they just up and left.
