"Well, this sure doesn't look nothing like home!" When Ildra had signed up to become a colonist, she couldn't have imagined that she would end up in a place so alien from her own native village. The myriad of people, the rows and rows buildings as far as the eye could see.. so many new things to learn!

She grabbed her gear and jumped off the boat onto the pier, ready to face any and all challenges that might come her way.
