The early days of the Settlement on D’abraxas were full of hope and optimism for a thriving, self-determined colony. Hundreds of years later, the planet has fractured into warring provinces, its tech base is struggling, and they’ve lost contact with the rest of settled space.
Ran has always wanted to make things better for his people. He’s worked his way up from grunt on the ground to guy in charge. Now he’s warlord of the largest territory on the planet and he’s finally getting stuff done.
As he struggles to get the other fractious warlords to cooperate with his ambitious plans, the General Union Space Corp comes calling. They claim they have come to help restore D’abraxas and reintegrate it into galactic society, but what do they really want? One thing is certain: D’abraxas’s long neglected tech base is no match for their massive starship. Can Ran keep his world and people safe from foreign enemies while managing his domestic opponents? Or will the General Union overthrow Ran and seize control of D’abraxas for its own ends?
