Background (MALA prologue.1.1)

The Awaldhana Star System in the Delta Quadrant of the Techaswanai Galaxy is the heart of the Intergalactic Trading Organization (popularly referred to as eegtorg)

The composition of the Star system is a rarity even in the infinity of the Universe with Three Suns (Two Red Giants and a yellow dwarf), 38 Planets (7 of them bearing intelligent life) and 158 Satellites (two of them having water based ecosystems and one with polar icecaps), A thin inner asteroid belt and a vast outer asteroid belt.

The other true uniqueness about the system is the co-evolution and (even more remarkable) co-existence of 14 distinct species of intelligent life forms. As is predictable, in the earlier stages of evolution, when interplanetary travel had just been discovered and the first few space faring ships had started leaving their home-worlds there was much suspicion and strife in Awaldhana.

What is not so easy to digest, however, is how soon the varied races of this System overcame their differences and formed the eegtorg, the organization that is the very core of the order and peace in the star-system.

Though everybody has a different opinion as to the cause of this harmony in diversity the two that are the favorite and most sited by the denizens of Awaldhana are; Their collective uniqueness in the Vast Universe and their love for Mercenaries All.

With the advent of the Teleportation & Tele-synthesis technology their world was changed greatly. Vehicles are outmoded as a means of short-range travel. Huge teleportation hubs began to manage most long-range travel between the System’s great metropolitan cities.

Tele-synthesis is used for production of almost all items of everyday use. These two technologies besides having changed the course of Awaldhana’s future are also responsible for its most popular Sport “Mercenaries All”.

Gutsy skilled pilots teleport between various battlezone vehicles in an effort to Score goals. Live ammunition is used to defend against as wells as to pass through opposition. Though the teleports are programmed to flick the Pilot out of the dying vehicles to the nearest base, fatalities arising out of faulty or damaged teleporters are not entirely unheard of. Debris from junked vehicles, once reclaimed by the pilot, is quickly recycled in the Tele-synthesis machines to the vehicle of his choice.
