In the years following a heinous war of nuclear ferocity, the world simmers down in
its quest for repose via an increased attempt at gaining scientific knowledge.
Technological breakthroughs are numerous; QEM (Quark Electromagnetic
Movement) is discovered along with 'nuclei fuel'. Millions upon untold millions of
people, of all nationalities, break free of the Earth's gravitation, and travel both
legally and illegally to other far-away worlds. Such a move is conducted through
QEM-gate, a permanently laid path of flight between two systems.
Man travels to the new but far-away systems and commences his colonisation of
the varied worlds encountered; it is then that catastrophe hits. 'Parsec mutation' takes
hold on the invading species, and man falls under a variety of changes. 'QEM
migration' is suddenly forbidden and the worlds already colonised come under
change; each world gives freely to the meaning of evolution.
Hundreds of years later 'parsec mutation' is finally controlled and the worlds
hidden behind several hundred years of banned QEM-gate travel are brought into
view.
This is the story of the unstable peace that exists within these New Worlds. Many
hostilities are met with as the galaxy casts its net against war-provoking actions, by
gaming war itself and battling with the very existence of all threatening foe.
The Scrolls of Pre-history on Earth are what binds peace. The monks however do
not understand these texts as they exist, but set themselves on the road of
commitment, for the completion of their deciphering.
In Quadrant Three is the Mildratawa, a peace loving council that confides all matters
to the representatives of other worlds and Quadrants. Without the Mildratawa peace
could never exist. Set in the year 2393, the Mildratawa is
to the galaxy what the UN is to the Earth, as we knew it in the late 20th century.
