To All High Emprise Consecrated

Earth barely survived the 21st Century.
Now, in the 22nd, after reunifying under a single government, Earth has rediscovered the colony of Minerva. Prosperous and technologically advanced, Minerva quickly submits to Earth supremacy.
Surprisingly quickly...
On Minerva, while workers prepare to place a wormhole link to Earth, Stone infiltrates a secretive cult, and unearths a plot to shake to the core the foundations of the Earth government's power over all human worlds.
And shake Stone to his own core as well.
