Humanity didn't arrive on Sferonia all at once. Due to the cruel math of time dilation, the first settlers landed centuries before the rest. By the time the last wave arrived, the pioneers had forgotten Earth and regressed into primitive societies. Now, these Exohumans and the high-tech Newcomers are locked in a war for a world that cannot hold both. The Newcomers see the planet as their rightful inheritance, claiming a duty to "open the eyes" of those they deem primitive. At the center of the chaos lies the Okunic plant-a biological resource that is far more than it appears, and in the right hands, the ultimate weapon. As uneasy alliances form and forgotten origins resurface, the factions must decide: will they find a way to coexist, or will humanity's old patterns of domination destroy Sferonia's future?
