Five-hundred years after Earth vanished, the remnants of humanity live as subjugates of an oppressive alien race, the Bokori. Resisting their egalitarian at any costs culture, a burgeoning Human separatist movement thrives by occupying the Bokori homeworld's jungle moon. Adam Mortis finds himself unwillingly at the helm of this crusade upon the death of his father. Ignored by the wider galactic community and even opposed by many members of his own race, Adam must battle against all odds to free his people, as well as confront his inner demons spawned by the months of torture at the hands of the Bokori's cultural police, allowing humanity to chart their own path with a sense of cultural identity they've not had in centuries. Unbeknownst to everyone, a whisper in the depths of deep space heralding the awakening of far greater, ancient powers threaten to render Adam's cause moot. Havera, a mysterious scholar of the influential, colorful Cauduun race, is a harbinger of events to come. Her own personal mission will unknowingly drag Adam and a group of ragtag alien partners into a primeval conflict involving deities, a near-mythical alien race of unspeakable destruction, and long-lost magical artifacts that form the very core of life itself in our galaxy. The first of these "Vitriba" is the...ORB OF EMANCIPATION.
