Waypoint Nowhere

A handful of Marines are expected to maintain control of an outlying world, and they fail as oppressors.

Before the great powers that existed could turn their wrath against the independents of Karn, their wrath collided against each other, and a great war was fought above and on this distant world.  Giant cities were destroyed as the landscape became a monument to its own destruction as crashed ships soon littered the planet.  

On a navigational display, Karn, was made to show as a territory of the United States, but less than a squad of Marines were left on its only known base to remain in control of the ungovernable.  These people failed as oppressors as Karn became a scattered world of settlements that consisted of the civilized who were governed by their word from faith, and the outlaws in between. The planet was a shadow of the mistakes of a destroyed humanity.

           “Karn is a rock filled with rebellious people. Keep them in line and enforce all regulations. Remind them that their rock belongs to us.”  - Colonel Tani’s orders to Lieutenant Eli Gibson.
