The Empire's way of protecting the prison was eerily similar to that of the Xyrans, or one could say the Precursors, as Xyrans had copied most of their things from the Precursors.

"No wonder the Empire didn't care about the prison's security upgrade. They already know no one could escape once the Behemoth awakened."
