Crest of the Stars

The planet Martine is invaded by an alien race known as the Abh. In order to prevent bloodshed and to guarantee his place among Abh aristocracy, the president surrenders. Years later, his son is tasked with learning the culture of their new rulers.

Sitting idly in a spaceport, Jinto awaits his Abh chaperone. Having never seen an Abh in person before, reality and his expectations don’t quite match up.

Jinto meets the captain of the patrol ship Gosroth and learns more about Lafiel.

The Gosroth is attacked by enemy forces, so the captain orders Lafiel and Jinto to escape to the planet Sufugnoff.

The enemy closes in on the Gosroth and the battle begins. Meanwhile, Lafiel and Jinto try to distract themselves from the most likely outcome of the encounter.

Jinto and Lafiel arrive at Baron Febdash’s territory to refuel, but what starts out as a pleasant sidetrack takes an ominous turn.

Lafiel has had enough of Baron Febdash’s supposed “hospitality” and puts her escape plan into effect.

The Baron’s vassals must decide with whom their loyalties lie, and Lafiel’s attempt to rescue Jinto comes to a head.

Following their escape from Baron Febdash territory, Lafiel and Jinto are cut off and must initiate an emergency landing on Sufugnoff.

The Abh Empire prepares for war. Meanwhile, Lafiel and Jinto’s attempts at blending in with the local populace go awry.

Lafiel and Jinto are on the run from United Mankind but find help from an unlikely band of rebels. At the same time, Admiral Trife checks and double-checks his strategy before the upcoming battle for the Sufugnoff Gateway.

The battle begins and Rear Admiral Spoor dives headfirst into the fray. Back on the planet, the resistance fighters, Jinto, and Lafiel get split up by a police ambush.

Relentlessly pursued, Jinto and Lafiel make a final attempt to escape enemy territory.
