Strife
Survive; that is the sole mission of the USC’s last colony fleet. Ensure that the remnants of humanity and its Vaxian allies can rebuild and live. While they still dream of peace hidden away from their Demzerai executioners. Forced to land upon the alien world of Tallagen, Colonization Fleet Epsilon has forged a new home over the last 175 cycles. Everyday citizens huddled behind the safety of the cities’ barriers and holographic skies overhead, gladly embracing the illusion of utopia. However, peace is merely a word mentioned in the halls of the senate, while outside the barriers death and the constant threat of war are as sure as the sun rises.
But now whispers of deception have begun to unfold. Greed, desperation, and the lust for power threaten to consume not only the colonies but Tallagen itself.
Strife is the first installment of a saga which chronicles the last of humanity and their alien allies attempting to start over on a distant world known as Tallagen. It takes many of today's issues: politics, religion, racism, corporate greed, governmental corruption, and war and translates it into an engrossing character driven science fiction/fantasy story.
