Power and order hold societies together. But we are vain, and lust for more. Our greed for personal gain makes us blind. The mighty will fall when the old enemy returns. Fear, oh citizen, fear. For the enemy is within you, waiting to be sacrificed to your desires. - On the Nature of Crystalline by Archpriest Oqaya of Shalii.
In a distant star system, powerful guild lords are fighting for control and dominance over the five civilized planets. And always listening, the ever-present PRISM information network; recording, supporting, manipulating.
But despite its vast knowledge, not even PRISM can explain the mysterious abductions happening on the human planet Paradain. As thousands disappear without a trace, the normal order of things is thrown into chaos.
While guilds and governments abuse the people’s misery and fear for their own good, they are blind to the real enemy returning from the depths of time.
Only a small group of space pirates sets out to stop the disappearances. They are soon faced with an enemy powerful enough to bring on the end of life as they know it. Can they stop the Crystal Order?
The fate of the star system will depend on the sacrifices of the few.
PRISM - The Primary Registry for Interplanetary Species and Machinery - a vast information network that stores, manages and disseminates all data relating to every event, person and item within the Four Planet System Alliance.
Control PRISM, control the System.
Long have the Guilds manipulated the data input and information dissemination to steer the masses. But PRISM has an ultimate goal that not even the most wise can perceive.
