From the searing heat of Pisal, to the cooling waters of Itaan; from the divisiveness of Neania, to the prosperity on Relkili ... life continues. As if they didn't have enough on their plates, now the new Confederation had even more serious decisions to make. How to bring other planets into their trade alliance and still maintain control over their own dissidents.

While Relkili had exceptional technology, an expansive and inclusive new supply chain and a military structure supreme enough to be bragged about as well as imitated, they themselves hadn't yet ventured into space. It had been in the plans ... future plans. But being the first to venture out, had come from another people. A people whose entire existence had been one of struggle and discord. Now, there were power struggles and intrigues that no one wanted but that might just engulf them all. One civilization had the power to travel from one world to another, and another civilization had the power to bring those worlds all up to a level of life that made dealing with their capricious star almost null and void. One people wanted to control this, and one people wanted it to be freely shared.

Heroes were born from the most unlikely places, while those who had been looked up to ... tumbled like the lights in a popular child's toy. Allies and enemies were made, changed and made again.

And the Lumiere of Relkili decided to find out from the other world governments, exactly what they all wanted to find in this alliance. And that meant that they now had to venture out to other orbs. One near miss almost destroyed everything that they had been working towards for so long. Fortunately for those on the side of prosperity, their allies far outnumbered their enemies.
