In the 2300s, space colonization hit its peak. Several neighbouring star systems were colonized. The government of the Earth Dominion governed the majority of all the planets in habited by humanity. However in 2420, war broke out between the Earth Dominion and the frontier planets—known as the Confederation of Sovereign Planets. The war—known as the Wars of Sovereignty—lasted five years. Both sides beat the other bloody but no one came out on top. Peace was finally settled, with the Confederation retaining rule over the frontier planets and the Dominion retaining its rule over the Sol system. The peace also included the destruction of each side’s nuclear arsenals and the establishment of a vital trade network that would prevent any further conflict. In 2450, the Confederation began an exploration mission to the region just beyond their zone of control. In 2456, there was a report of several nuclear explosions coming from the region of space being explored, followed by the return of a battered and damaged Confederation ship with only a skeleton crew left on board. The remaining crew subsequently disappeared into the billions of citizens of the Confederation and the Dominion amidst a Dominion demand of inquiry into the explosions. Rumours spread of Dominion agents trying to track down the crew members of the Confederation ship.

Surviving Daions were absorbed harmoniously into Coalition populations. That's what Coalition history recorded. In reality plague survivors were abused, ostracized, and lately their descendants were disappearing - relatively unnoticed - from the sectors where they'd been assigned residence. Right now war is whispering through every sector as political tensions rise between Coalition's Central Worlds and the Isolated Radicals. Half the galaxy away, seeking resources under the lie of peaceful exploration, Dockland is the oldest scanner ship in the Coalition fleet and has the long abandoned Daion Central World listed as one of their possible next assignments. As leadership splinters into the highest ranks of the Coalition government, the events unfolding in the Daion sector have the potential to change the course set by history and possibly restore what was written off as a lost culture ... or see Dockland and its crew erased from having ever existed at all. CONTENT WARNING: a large-scale terror attack is described, cultural repression is a theme, there is violence and resulting injuries described, a bit of flirting, kissing and romance occurs, and the war/battle mentality of some characters comes up. I'll flag the sections when posting that describe the large-scale terror attack and any with violence / resulting injuries.
