Wounded Worlds: Nihil Novum
​
Ruan Altman is a human trying to forget his past. Fa’ashi Orrin is a Novum trying to escape hers. The war had brought them together, now peace might tear them apart.
On the distant world of Talveras, half a century of Imperial rule has come to an end. The humans of the NUSA have weakened it, and now they seek the Novum’s help to finish it. While the Army ferrets out the few remaining pockets of resistance, Commissar Altman and the Civilian Service Corps offer aid and healing to a battered populace. He falls in love with a young woman named Fa’ashi Orrin, and for a brief moment it seems like the planet’s recovery will go smoothly. But the Novum are thirsty for vengeance against those who collaborated with the Empire during the occupation, and those accused rarely live to see a trial.
Ancient racial enmities begin to resurface when neighbor accuses neighbor, and blood lust reigns supreme. As deep feuds all old as Novum civilization itself threaten to plunge Talveras into ruinous civil conflict, suspicious eyes begin to fall on Fa’ashi. When rumor is accepted as fact, and prejudice corrupts justice, only one thing is clear: Nothing is fair in love or war.
Luck & Loose Ends
​
Fortunes have always been made at someone else’s expense. No one understands this better than a thief, and Kalisa & Peytra are thieves like no other. When rumors of vast riches on a new continent reach their ears, they spare no haste in stowing aboard vessels bound for the New World. Kalisa gets more than he bargained for during the heist of a nobleman’s manor when he stumbles upon a man afflicted by a bizarre and preternaturally violent condition.
As the madness spreads, the Kalisa and Peytra discover that the afflicted are being controlled by a daemoniac entity long thought banished from the world. With monsters and religious fanatics closing in on all sides, Kalisa and Peytra must avail upon their wits and each other to escape the continent alive. However, just because they are partners does not mean they can trust one another.
The Adventures of the Colonial Assistance
Company (Col*Aid*Corp)
​
The first thing you need to understand about what we do is that space is huge! In fact, it's a little *too* big. That's why humanity has only developed four 'Homeworlds'.
Everywhere outside of those four planets are... well...'wild space'. That's not to say it's uninhabited; you've got colonies, asteroid mines, space stations - you name it! The thing is: there's no permit process or laws or really any regulations whatsoever to establish a facility or colony outside of a Homeworld's start system. If you've got the ship, equipment, crew, and money; you're free to knock yourself out.
That said, there's not much to pull your butt out of the fire if your equipment breaks or if you get attacked by pirates or if the local wildlife starts thinking you're tasty. There's no police, no navy, no nothing!
That's where we come in. We're the Colonial Assistance Company or 'ColAidCorp' for short. If you've got a problem, and the money to pay for a solution, we'll fix it!
Most of the time.
