Ruego (English)

Random attacks on human worlds forced three rival federations to ally against the mysterious Mowös. Hot on the enemy trail, a detachment lands on Ruego. Surprise: this harsh planet harbors a lost human colony, descended from a wrecked ship’s castaways.

How did those almost-savages survive there, despite the powerful Mowös? What dark secret lies behind their strange customs? Which of the federations can lay claim on this stranded ship, hence on Ruego? For the three rival commanders, the time to find the answers is running short...
