“A hastily scribbled sheet, covered in calculations. It fluttered in the air as Celos addressed his people, assuaging the worst of their fears. Their salvation had come, in the form of a celestial harness. The Centerpiece, a star of their own.”

Celos’s creation roared to life, an open act of defiance against the inexorable grasp of death. Stolis flourished with light, survival ensured anew. But the voracity of a star was unimaginable, its hunger every bit as fierce as its output. It demanded satiation, in the form of a substance so dense in energy that it could not maintain a state of matter. It demanded Sol.”

So be it. I will wage war. I will raze their pitiful settlements to the ground. And if they persist, I will see to it that they are put down. Slaughtered, like droves of cattle.”

Attempts at Dezuni diplomacy arise, but they are overturned by sudden insurgency, a united effort to repel the invaders that spreads like wildfire.
Wildfire is vindictive, just as it is indiscriminate—it cares not for what burns to ash.”
