Prologue
Admiral Abraxis stood there, watching the Festival of Lights as the fireworks exploded over Colony Prime. As he watched, he was tapped on the shoulder by a man, startled, he quickly turned around and he stood there for a few moments when finally the man spoke.
"Hello again Young One", he said calmly
"Platius? Is that you?", The Admiral replied, "I thought you would never return..."
"Ah, my young friend, I said I would not be far.", The man told him
"Why have you come back now?", Admiral Abraxis quickly asked
"I foresee that you will desperately needed my friend, you must come with me", The man answered
"Will I be able to return Platius?" Abraxis asked
"No, Young One," Platius assured him, "to where we will travel there will be no return."
And with his last sentence, Platius pulled out a device from his pocket and at the touch of a few buttons, a bright light shone above the two as they were sucked into a vortex.
