But that all changes. The fire that has lain dormant is rekindled, and humans quickly rally behind Fletcher. Finding a purpose greater than their lives, no battle is impossible. Humans will reclaim their former glory, and the planet Affer shall once again fear them. Fear can keep a species enslaved…but it can also bring a planet to its knees.
