The war against the Lankys is over, and humanity is finally beginning to take back the colonies that were either lost or lost contact with during the war.
Meanwhile on the earthlike colony on the far side of the 40 designated as Camelot by the colonists, the local human slaves, the former colonists live in slave camps forced to carry out any degrading desire of their owners. But before one slave was executed, she was able to send one signal to the former NAC nodes near the system's alcubierre shoot.
The message only one word that would bring the hammer of humanity crashing down and smash the ponies' little paradise.
The message - "Help".
