Groombridge 1618 is a small colony world, settled with the blessings and support of the Turing Protectorate. The Protectorate has identified it as having important strategic potential, probably to stop the influence of the Genies spreading too far. As a result, plans are underway to upgrade the systems in the world in preparation for the establishment of a wormhole terminus.
You have been sent by the Lightchaser Precocious Barbarian under Captain Mizumi to deliver new generation power system technology and a vital upgrade to the planetary government’s AI to prepare it for the arrival of the terminus and integration to the rest of the Protectorate.
Naturally, the Precocious Barbarian also carries rarities from Earth to the colony, and there are opportunities to make a profit from trading. You will arrive in system in April 2597, 28 years and 13.6 light years from the Protectorate base at Luyten’s Star.
Time to bring the frontier into the heart of the Protectorate. Whether they want it or not.
