Storyline: This adventure is set in the same galactic empire of the future as was so successfully portrayed in 'The Mote in God's Eye'. Prince Samual's World has been isolated from the galactic empire for 300 years and is now a network of squabbling kingdoms that, left to themselves, would have feuded their way to peaceful civilisation along the usual course of evolving worlds. But time is a luxury that Prince Samual's World no longer has; it has been rediscovered by the Imperial Navy, and is to be annexed to the Empire in the lowest possible status:a colony without voting privileges. Given another 50 years, it could have developed some sort of primitive space travel, and been admitted to the Empire as a Class Two planet; a member rather than a subject. |
