The Drekas- brutal, maggot-like insectoids that feed on fear and death- have come to Equis, destroying all in their path. The inhabitants of Equis march to war… and lose. With their world in ruins, Equis' salvation, like its doom, comes from above. But can they trust these outsiders? Will they assimilate? Rise up to a place of glory among the stars, or crash and burn into the oblivion of time?

(This is the original version of the saga I began. This time, it will be completed! All members of the CMC are aged up to adulthood by this time, and all races (sans those of Equis) are original works by yours truly. There will be sex, but this is not a clopfic. That will be explained. )
