	Thus hampered, he was trapped by these unfortunate circumstances in a half-functioning, near-sensor-blind Scout in transit toward the [[Delta Gorno]] system while the Shofixti's final battle against the [[Ur-Quan Kzer-Za\|Ur-Quan]] was being fought. Alone among the Shofixti he was not able to hear about and join the battle before the final decision to activate the Ultimate Glory Device. Returning home to find his race destroyed and his world reduced to a lifeless rock, Tanaka was thrown into despair, and maintained a solitary vigil over the Delta Gorno system, debating with himself whether to commit suicide by crashing his ship into an asteroid or to watch all his FunRoms another hundred times.

	In the end, and fortunately for the Alliance, Tanaka elected to postpone death, and was still alive when [[The Captain]] from the [[New Alliance of Free Stars]] found him, hoping to resurrect the Shofixti race. With the majority of his sensors malfunctioning, Tanaka interpreted the mass indicator readings from the huge [[The Flagship\|Flagship]] to mean it was instead an Ur-Quan [[Dreadnought]]. The Shofixti warrior attempted to die an honorable death engaging his enemy in combat, and only through repeated attempts at negotiation, in which The Captain repeatedly and violently broke the diplomatic formality that Ur-Quan Lords meticulously upheld, was Tanaka convinced that The Captain was a Human and representative of the Alliance. Though heartbroken to hear the news that the original Alliance had suffered defeat despite his people's sacrifice, ~~The Captain~~ persuaded ~~Tanaka~~ to forgo honorable suicide and serve the [[New Alliance of Free Stars]].

Finding the set of cryogenically frozen [[Shofixti Maidens]] captured by the VUX Admiral [[ZEX]] long ago, The Captain recovered them and brought them to Tanaka, offering him a chance to replenish his species. Tanaka eagerly accepted, and after reviving his new wives and explaining the situation to them, they enthusiastically began procreating; the first generations were brought to the [[Starbase]] to be fed and raised, and the very fast Shofixti gestation and maturation rate meant that a viable population of Shofixti personnel was available to crew Alliance operations within months, with the reestablishment of the Shofixti species on a new homeworld expected in the near future.
