Dulkis Perimeter Rocket Shafts

The outer borehole sites are the focal point of Rago’s command, representing the physical infrastructure that will enable the Dominators to drill into Dulkis’ thin crust and extract its resources. Though not yet constructed, their preparation is the first step in the systematic exploitation of the planet. The mention of these sites underscores the Dominators’ methodical approach to conquest, where logistics and resource extraction take precedence over ethical considerations. Their preparation signals the irreversible commitment to plunder and sets the stage for the Doctor’s intervention.

The perimeter borehole sites are referenced as completed, but their functional role shifts dramatically during the event. Initially framed as part of the drilling operation, Rago’s order to insert rockets into them recontextualizes them as launch points for Dulkis’ destruction. The boreholes, once tools of exploitation, become instruments of annihilation, their completion now tied to the rockets’ deployment. This pivot underscores the Dominators’ willingness to destroy what they cannot fully exploit, with the boreholes symbolizing the collapse of their slave labor contingency.
