Dillo's homeworld was destroyed centuries by a devastating assault by the Shivans leaving him and his people as space-faring nomads. Upon finding radio waves sent from Earth, Dillo's people have sent him as a scout to warn the Humans of dangers of Shivans or to return with sad news of another race of lifeforms annihilated by these unstoppable devastators.
