The Olgogs are the natives of the planet Refuge. They have been called a lot of terrible things by their human oppressors. Perhaps the most offensive is the term Goblin which the Humans have used to... More > marginalize the Olgogs. For over a thousand years, the Olgogs have been treated like animals, hunted and slaughtered by the Human Colonists of the Earther Colonies.

Only through careful planning, loyal partnerships and using the powers of the Leyas wisely against strategic targets, will the Olgog tribes be able to achieve their independence and freedom from persecution.
