Relkili Steel

Relkili. A world where your value is measured by the Relkili metal in your possession. Where your status determines how much tech you have implanted in your body. Where your gender determines your military position. A peaceful world, until someone from the outside decided that they had better use for Relkili steel than its own inhabitants and would take it without asking … Spreading their good fortune to other worlds in their system … worlds that have also been negatively impacted by their capricious star’s moody tantrums, they find out who is and is not a friend. It is a delicate balancing act, and their entire way of life is being questioned by those few who would take for themselves the benefits that their people worked hard for … without the responsibilities and humanity that rule the Relkili people. Discovering traitors in their midst, the Confederation is in chaos, norms are challenged and what has worked for a millennium is being upended. Can they save their world? Or will they lose it to those who would destroy what they love? Four Comporadors stripped themselves of everything that gave their military an edge and stepped into the lion’s den as vulnerable as any other migrant worker. What they uncovered there would challenge nearly every aspect of their lives. They realized that this was not merely about rumors of missing or murdered workers but a large underground movement replete with the collusion of government officials from several states. This was a movement that could topple their entire society. And they weren’t having it.
