Meek Shall Inherit…
Two super alliances compete for the
galaxy: the Federation, a constellation of systems centered on
Earth, struggles against the Galactic Independence/New
Confederacy (GINC) as mankind spreads like a bloody stain,
consuming entire planets in a rapacious competition for
resources. Some colonies will live, but most will die to fulfill
the needs of the core alliances.
A rebel organization, the Planetary
Independence Movement (PIM), strives to obstruct the
devastation. Its messianic leader, Daniel Enos Callihan, has not
been seen for decades, but his sedition continues to hamper the
alliances. Each alliance seeks to use Callihan against the
other…or else to kill him. His location becomes
available—Daystar System.
Duncan, a Federation ground-pounder,
leads a penetration team onto the planet and discovers a
pre-industrial society unable to defend itself—at least
apparently so. A curious energy source leads Duncan to Callihan;
but it is the energy source itself that changes everything. The
elwar, a race of gentle innocents, possess a power unlike any
previously known. It is this power that ultimately makes all the
difference.
Good will always battle evil…but how can
you tell the difference?
