The Empire is vast -- and not the only settled space known to Humans and the other races that make up the Empire of Durakan.

So what's it like to live and work in the Empire? Is it all about star ships and mercenaries and representatives of the all powerful Empire?

Hardly! In point of fact, just as in our time, daily life for most is quite mundane. For some it's quite hard; for others its extraordinarily easy. But either way, in this prologue you'll be introduced to some of the many different faces that make up the trillions of sentient beings that are either the subjects of Imperial Durakan, or who live in the space between. The dangerous Neutral Zone.
