The planet Meager appeared to be the perfect world for colonization. It had an earth-like atmosphere and sufficient water; lush foliage that showed signs of potential value; and it lacked animal life forms; so it was believed there would be no native sentient life forms to prevent colonization. There was also a nearby asteroid field that promised huge rewards by way of asteroid mining, and it seemed the colonists of Meager would all do well – that is, until the native flora quickly began adapting to be useless to human purposes and another race called the Kwings, who had superior weapons and ships, appeared in the asteroid fields and became antagonistic with the humans trying to mine there. Without hesitation the Kwings escalated the confrontation to full-scale warfare.
Then a new situation arises, one which may mean that all humans will need to leave Meager forever.
