Such planets are few: they are independent and strong, but they have a merciless enemy—the Company, seeking domination over Hermeticon and not shying away from any means on the way to its goal.
The Company has pushed the Cardonian confederation to the brink of civil war. Into the burning conflict, the most different forces have been dragged, and an emissary for one of the sides became the famous traveler Pompilio Cesare Faha der Dagen Tur. Let him be bound to a wheelchair—his bambaado skills and sharp mind have not gone anywhere. As, indeed, has his nasty character.
