The year is 3061. The vast swathes of humanity exist under one pangalactic banner: the United Federation of Orion–Cygnus. Nations great and small gather in the Assembly to make policy, debate border disputes shape trillion-dollar economies. In recent days, however, power struggles have disrupted this uneasy peace. Commentators believe open war between the nations of Orion-Cygnus to be improbable at best; vast stores of planet-busting weaponry owned by every major player make for a gunshy galaxy, they claim. But what think tanks and talking heads call ''''a state of low-level conflict'''' looks a hell of a lot like war to the average citizen living through it.
