Celadon

It's the dawn of a new era...

​

The Novan War has just begun. All that stands between humanity and utter destruction are the ships of the Sol Coalition Defense Fleet.

​The only problem? None of those ships are equipped with the all-important Quantum Space Drive which allows humanity to travel between planets and stars at a reasonable scale of time. The Drive needs Florivan QSD Engineers to run it, and Florivans are pacifists. Their Council of Elders has never allowed service on military vessels.

​The Fleet can do little more than sit at the edges of the Coalition's seven member systems and wait for the Novans to attack.

​Celadon Toreval is the Youngest of the Florivan Council of Elders. If anyone can come to Fleet Admiral Marvin's aid and help her save her people-and theirs-it's them.

​Celadon, though, has their own reasons to get involved...​​

The time to act has come.
