In the very distant future, the Omeocoon and Panthorians no longer exist... they've evolved... completely, in every sense of the word, they are now just two 'genders' among seven, joined together in a massive galactic empire that presides over a massive fleet of nomatic starships.

The species within it are the Ashavelli, who are viewed as a powerful, highly intelligent, dangerous, and rather xenophobic civilization, strongly preferring that no one enter their nebula as they construct one of the most prestigious city ships in the region. Despite their large galactic presence, they are often seen as elusive and eccentric, having vanished from the public eye eons ago, as they evolved to rely on themselves rather than the rest of the galaxy.

The story follows Corwin Kipp, the newest 'member' of the Corwin family. Although CK is the youngest in terms of age, he is most certainly not by wisdom, as he is the clone of a lucrative company's founder by the same name. As a perfect genetic match, Kipp shares not only his appearance with the original but his intellect as well. Obsessed with his own immortality, Corwin Kipp has created 8 previous versions of himself like this, and all were CEO of his technological empire.

After a murderer takes Corwin Kipp 8 out of the equation, no doubt as a way to derail the Citadel project, Kipp 9 is forced to take his previous iteration's place early to finish what he started. A person who's been vital to the Citadel project from the beginning has been replaced by the equivalent of a teenager.

Kipp 9 is forced to remember a past he NEVER lived to complete the ship before whatever threat that is looming has a chance to enact its disastrous plan!
