I Shall Know No Fear
Seltos, a planet of mines galore, surrounded by beautiful natural reserves and forests. Some time ago it had been home to a considerable reserve of phrik, where it had been mined by corporations and independent concerns alike. However, during the chaos of hell swallowing the world and devouring more people than anyone cared to admit, turmoil had broken loose. Mines were now abandoned - or worse, being torched. Anyone who could get samples of rare metals, fought off by the protectors of the resources, were turning a quick profit.
More interestingly, however, was the government's response. Once a Republic-controlled world, Seltos was defaulting to using its local garrison to - of all things - oppress the people and kill intruders to the mines on sight. This dichotomy of self-sufficient support and supposed Republic obedience was strange, to say the least. Someone new must have been in charge.
As usual, Omega was on the job.
Starships dropped out in orbit over Seltos, ready to let the grand army of the Protectorate solve the problem of a rogue government and an oppressed peoples. Neither side was innocent; the people and their leadership both. But where did the truth lie?
