Shoot-out Stories

Far in the future the human race has left the dead planet Earth and have found a new solar system to live on. There is only one real working government called The Hand; a Federation of Planets ruled in a republic state. Of course, these planets touched by The Hand are prosperous, at least those who are on planets with water. Lamari is a planet filled with water and only 3% of the planet is covered with land. Most planets get their water from Lamari. The dead planets under The Hand are mining planets be it metal or chemicals. Those who are outside The Hand system are told to be savage planets with humans that aren't human anymore; or so the people are told. On the planet Lamari we find a Hero Corp General named Neon Okin; one of the finest young Generals in The Hand military government including their elite army the Unit. She is honorable to the core and loyal to her Commander. Those who work for the government live nice wealthy lives, which is much different then the way she grew up. One day her Commander asks her to join him in a special program with the head of Starlite Manufacturers; a medical company. Brawson, the CEO, says he wants to change the way people are; make them less violent and more peaceful. Neon believes his cause until she sees the supposed experiment that will bring this sudden change; a girl trapped inside a large crystal. A Crystal Being; the rumored natives to Lamari that left the planet when the humans settled. Neon saves her and throws away her life in the process. Neon wants to find out why the girl named Una is such a fine commodity and what her kind have to do with the creation of The Hand's continued society. A war is starting to brew; Brawson is creating an army to take down The Hand or so it would seem. Neon is willing to do whatever to find out what Brawson is really up to, yet at what cost? Will it lead to a satisfying ending? Or will she be killed along with those who are helping her?
