While most soldiers from the cosmos battlefield were on their way back to the empire, the situation at the empire isn't exactly a good one. After the defeat, most people on the planet Empire were devoured by the mutated Insect race. The human race living on the empire had failed to defend their land and prevent the insect race from landing on their territory. After the small nest that appeared outside the space had merged with the empire causing the invasion much more simple than before and more powerful. After the insect race had taken over of the empire more than half of its original population was eaten by the insect race and the race had run away for their lives.
Only a few had escaped by leaving the empire but most of them had fallen and even been prevented from leaving the planet. Those who were caught were transformed into slaves while the others had gone into hiding, not allowing the zerg race to find them. This group of people were the last survivors of the original empire.
