Eon: The Trepidation of Janus
The Federation of United Words has been in an idle state for three generations. The once-proud empire has been driven back to its original systems. Discord from within has caused a collapse of an empire. A new Tsar-Emperor has ascended to power with his eye on rebuilding the glory from the past.
The discovery of a rare ore could be the key to the stabilization of the abandoned star gates, which proved to be too much of a risk to use other than sending communications faster than the speed of light.
Unfortunately, the solution is just out of the frustrated emperor’s reach. The precious ore that was discovered deep within a reparation world.
Thagua six is such a world. A world for beings that were mistreated and abused by the Empire for centuries. A planet that the colonies have built to call their own, outside the shadow of the F.U.W. According to the treaty of separation. The Federation can not retake the world by force and is furthermore required, by galactic law, to support the citizens through tithes and military assistance for three hundred years.
The federation found a loophole woven within the tapestry of the ancient treaty. A trap set centuries ago, if sprung, could lead to the deaths of an unsuspecting population, and open the door for the federation’s plans to reestablish its dominance amongst the stars.
Enter the Drop Teams.
Drop teams are the police force, rescue, or executioners of the galaxy that work for the highest bidder. Because of the vastness of space, they can reach targets quicker than most homeworlds.
One such drop team is the 13th Company.
Led by its mysterious leader Asukari, which has become the most successful drop team in history. Having never failed an assignment in its long-distinguished existence.
When the noose tightens around Thagua six, the entire galaxy will turn a blind eye to the cataclysmic event.
All that is, but the 13th Company.
Will they be able to do the impossible and save a world that is being devoured from within?
