The Human Sphere -- a region of space ravaged by countless civil wars -- is now at peace. Along with the new-found peace comes the pacifist movement, led by the young and ambitious Senator Lena Mian. With disarmament foremost on their agenda, the pacifists hope to reshape the Republic into their idea of paradise. Meanwhile, High Admiral Legan, Supreme Commander of the Kataran Republic's military forces, is in a precarious position. If he allows the senate to disband the military, the Republic would be vulnerable to its enemies, both inside and outside the Sphere. But if he moves to seize control of the Republic and prevent disarmament, the result would be a civil war that would decimate the military and similarly leave the Republic defenseless.Faced with two unacceptable choices, High Admiral Legan devises a risky plan. The only way he can save the Kataran Republic ... is to abandon it.
