=== After the Third Human War ===
At the end of the Third Human War, a group of varvax was sent to secure the surrender of the Defiant Fleet, but the fleet escaped to the planet Detritus. Since the [[Superiority]] has laws against the extermination of a species, the [[Department of Protective Services]] maintains a group of varvax on a space station outside the debris field that surrounds the planet and that is charged with ensuring that humans remain alive but do not escape. They do not see themselves as murderous, but as prison guards, trying to keep the humans from advancing too much. The [[lifebuster]]s were designed for this, and they attack frequently to keep human minds on defending instead of advancing their technology.{{book ref|sky1|epilogue}} The [[Battle of Alta Second]], however, was intended to destroy the humans on Detritus; a political group within the Superiority successfully argued that the Defiants were too dangerous,{{book ref|sky1|epilogue}} and there were other planets where the Superiority maintains a group of humans.{{book ref|sky2|10}}
During their time guarding the humans on Detritus, the varvax have two types of ships at their space station.{{book ref|sky1|55}} The first type is a ship of unclear purpose, but they might be couriers or tow ships. They look boxy, with large open windows in the front. On these ships is stenciled ''Ketos redgor Earthen listro listrins'' (creating the acronym KRELL), translating roughly to "Penitentiary maintenance and containment of Earthlings."{{book ref|sky1|55}} The second type of ship is the varvax drones that are usually remotely piloted. They are small, bulbous, with an unfinished look--with wires trailing behind like tails.{{book ref|sky1|10}} They have small, opaque black cockpits, and will usually explode completely when damaged or when they crash. Inside the interceptors is varvax armor, dark forms in armor with red eyes, but the ships themselves are unmanned fighter drones.{{book ref|sky1|10}}{{book ref|sky1|55}} They go after the best pilots so as to eliminate anyone who has cytonic abilities and use their own cytonic abilities on anyone who escapes the debris field around the planet so that she or he will see her or his own allies as varvax and shoot them down.{{book ref|sky1|55}} In the days leading up to the Battle of Alta Second, they also begin sending ace pilots who directly pilot their ship against the humans.{{book ref|sky2|1}}
