stranded in deep space, the crew of the warship Staynar put themselves into suspended animation, their course set for the only habitable world within thousands of lightyears. All they have left is their faith, and the hope that someday, somehow, they might wake in a better world.
they do wake, crash landing on a world that now considers everything the Staynar knew to be part of its ancient past. A world violently divided into seven warring factions and two races: The Brut, selectively bread for strength, and the Stat, selectively bread for intelligence and leadership.
the Staynar learns that their arrival was expected, that their initial distress call was indeed received, and that over the centuries, the fact of their journey has turned into prophecy.
some expect them to be agents of the apocalypse. Others believe they are angels bringing enlightenment and peace. But on one thing, all seem to agree:
And now that the Star has come, it had better live up to the prophecy…
One way…
Or another…
