Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
In Episode 4, Rago transitions from demanding resources (drilling operations) to demanding slave labor (strongest Dulcians). By Episode 5, he escalates further to genocidal extermination when the Dulcians prove unusable. This thematic arc ties Rago's goals to the Dominators' genocidal war machine—his actions mirror the escalating violence of their broader mission.
