Admiral Robert O'Hara once commanded the Lunar Free State's fleet, but he's finding that leading the nation as Chief Executive requires different skills, as well as an entirely different mindset. The confrontation between the LFS and the Confederated Nations of Earth continues, but now it includes a race to build colonies on Xanadu, a competition that has strained Luna's financial resources to the limit.
Luna is feeling the pinch, and a group calling itself the "loyal opposition" has challenged O'Hara's policies in both the Lunar Directorate and TerraCorp's Executive Committee. On the surface, they've stayed within constitutional limits, but behind the scenes a plot is brewing that may alter the very fabric of the Lunar Free State.
