Cage & Conglomerate

Being the heiress of a Galactic fortune should be fun, right? Well... Miss Delailah West, daughter to a Starlord, is about to learn that the splendours she's enjoyed all her life come at a price - namely that of marriage and the limiting existence as an "ornament to society", or whatever nonsense her mother spouts. Delailah is determined not to end up an idle creature of luxury and to make her own way in the galaxy instead, but this begs the question: how in the Twin Queens' names does a young lady of galictocratic birth find her destiny, and can she do it while also defying her family's expectations and falling in love?

Author's Note:
Have you ever wondered what would happen if you threw Jane Austen's Collected Works into a blender and mixed them, sent the result roughly 5.000 years into the future and seasoned with Galactic aristocracy, a hint of Oscar Wilde and space-travel? ... I imagine it'd read something like this.
