Emerald World

For millennia, the human race has been spreading across the Galaxy in order to escape authority and tyranny, only to fall into such hands again and again. The Travistar, an alien race, who are disgruntled as subjugated slaves of a Pirate colony, finally gain control of their destiny, only to have it crash down around them. Those in power seek to keep that power, and those seeking power are intent on grabbing it, even at the cost of civil war.
A coming of age for new blood seeking to help explore the galaxy, finds love, only to lose it. A death and a birth, love found, and love lost.
