Home, or it used to be.

 DortDruss is my home, or it was. I lived there all my 16 years and never once left. Alcar was a flaming gas giant, but its 48 moons were solid. Most of them had no atmosphere, or were extremely hot or cold. But the prime 8 were ideal. Perfect for suiting human life, and DortDruss was beyond perfect. It was new in evolutionary stages, and the planet was teeming with life. There were some seas on the moon and there was an abundancy of lush forests. The moon's temperate conditions made rent on the moon expensive, but my parents got here early, and now make quite an income. As I said I had lived there and it was home, until the war started.


The Flasha were a race of creatures who decided that humans weren't quite equal and decided to cleanse the galaxy of us. They are hominoid creatures that stand about 6 foot, with very long arms and crooked fingers, greenish brownish, and have 3 tails instead of legs. The war started when I was six, and it has gotten worse over the years, but recently fighting broke into the Alcar system. DortDruss was soon evacuated. I left the system with my family and we started off for the Maxer system a few light years off, newly discovered. We planned to start a new peaceful life on the planet Hanno.

We could not have been more wrong.
