{{quote|''It is the dawn of the sixth millennium and the skies are darkening, for the suns themselves are fading. Humans reached the stars long ago, building a Republic of high technology and universal emancipation — and then squandered it, fought over it, and finally lost it.

Now, feudal lords rule the Known Worlds, vying for power with fanatic priests and scheming guilds.''}} |
