"We thought we had seen it all. We thought we had suffered enough¸ and that the future would get better¸ not worse. We could not have been more wrong. From this time on¸ we would have to face not only ourselves but our long-lost siblings¸ and somehow find a way to survive and prosper together again.
"It is safe and nice¸ hiding under the bedsheets. But one cannot ignore the outside world forever."
- Nicosa Renault
The cataclysmic destruction of a Terranovan city-state has brought the Interpolar War to an abrupt halt. Intelligence agents work tirelessly to find who had access to mass-destruction weaponry and dared used it¸ while others seek to manipulate the situation to their advantage. The sudden arrival of a visitor from one of Earth's lost colonies may have brought the missing element to solve the mystery¸ but it comes at a terrible cost. Now the Terranovans know that the fascist government of the New Earth Commonwealth is once again active¸ and drastic measures will have to be taken to guarantee the future and continued safety of their fledging world.
