They were once a family of 5, but then disaster struck.
When the aliens invaded the Erythar Star System, they were captured and brought here.
The boy's grandfather, grandmother, and father all perished on this harsh planet, leaving only the mother and son behind.
If not for her son, the mother would have taken her own life long ago to reunite with her husband and in-laws.
Faced with such cruelty, the enslaved humans had long become numb.
Death was a daily occurrence here.
Beyond being killed by the aliens, more people died from the endless mining labor.
The minerals they were forced to extract contained radiation that was harmful to humans.
The aliens never seemed to approach the ore themselves.
Anything related to handling and transporting the minerals was left entirely to human laborers.
Eighty percent of the humans who died succumbed to radiation poisoning.
The boy's grandparents had perished from the radiation, while his father was beaten to death by the aliens.
