The Emperor is restructuring his efforts to unite the people around his singular rule while the opposition looks for alternative options. Many of those are turning to the Green Empire and Grand Admiral Aatroxiss's new seat of power on Prime, but behind the buzz between these two polar opposites another hand is at work...and about to reveal itself to the galaxy in dramatic fashion.

Rejected scientist Alexander Hawke is down to his last chance. Brilliant but sheltered, every banker in New York has refused to finance his ideas.

With a helpful shove from his foreign benefactor, he plunges into adventure. Landing in darkness, Alexander finds a portal to destiny—weirder than New York, colder than Russia, and filled with the ruins of an empire that once spanned the galaxy.

"Success breeds success," or so Admiral Tracy Jackson recalled the Earthers saying. His fleet took control of two Elite worlds, Da-fer and Jot-ma, the first of ten Elite worlds. However, Admiral Jackson recognized that his thought about success was merely a saying, and they weren’t always true. Volunteers from other races descended on the Elite worlds by the hundreds of thousands. Many were drawn to help the hamlet subs by the conclave’s generosity. They left difficult home world circumstances to earn conclave credits with personal services provided free.
