The Swarts
In the far future man has spread out into the galaxy. & diversified.
Some have evolved physically into strange new forms, some have become immortal. Some hark back to the old ways. We have built a glorious new future.
One that stretches from the sleepy Old World, to new terraformed planets & Dyson spheres built around artificial suns.
For as long as we can remember (and some have lived 12, 000 years) we have delighted in a rich new existence. Yes there have been wars but we are content in our splendour.
Art is revered, life is easy, death forgotten for many. But now there are rumours of a bid to oust the Emperor & a worrying story that our history is not as we remember it
- not only man left Earth...
