Amos's death occurred on Laconia, the planet serving as the center of the Laconian Empire. While in the company of Elvi Okoye, they were discovered by the Laconian security personnel.
Here's a breakdown of the event:
- The Perpetrators: The Laconian security force.

This profound discovery highlights the advanced, and often unsettling, capabilities being harnessed by the Laconian Empire.
