Scenario

Suppose we are not alone, that out there is another galaxy, another Earth, an alien  people, whose life too often mirrors our own.  Thousands of light years from Earth exists just such a  place, the world of the Krojon Empire, the Megadom. Once an ancient democracy, until subverted by a brutal, martial regime. Thus begun an era of tyranny, the Megadom becoming a machine like, totalitarian state, where all obey or die. This is the world of Deká. Reared from an infant by the Kohort warrior elite, Deká knows nothing of his parents, of who he is. Uniquely amongst Kohort, Deká has visions, dreams, which offer clues, hints of a special past, and fated future. Tattooed onto Deká’s forehead is the ‘warrior-i’, a graphic  representation of the all seeing eye of Zor, the Krojon Sun God, symbolising a Kohort warrior’s rite of passage. The ‘i‘ incorporates V power, Krojon sonic technology light years ahead of us. This fusion, of the ancient and the ultra modern, being a hallmark of the Krojon world.

 

liberation :Introduces Deká, an elite Kohort warrior, stationed on one of the Megadom’s enslaved colonial planets, Altrese. Detailed to kill Xisha, an escaped slave, Deká’s world goes into meltdown. For reasons unknown even to him, Deká commits an unprecedented act of defiance,  he disobeys. Forced to flee, Deká  finds temporary sanctuary on Earth. Ruthlessly pursued by  Kommander Kor,  his mysterious nemesis, Deká becomes locked into a mortal battle of wits, as he struggles to find the keys to  unlock his identity, of deciphering the dreams, visions  that haunt him.

insurrection: Continuing his quest, Deká returns to  Altrese, joining the fragmented  underground,  finally leading an  insurrection against the local Megadom.

revolution: Deká journeys  to the heart of the Krojon Megadom,  the sprawling, fetid  megalopolis that is KrojonCity, to ferment revolution, and in so doing resolve the riddle of his identity.

dominion :  Acceding to popular demand Deká heads Krojon’s  revolutionary council, but soon a usurper, he assumes the role of his late father, of his destiny, that of Emperor. Power corrupts, from liberator to tyrant, the cycle ends as it began, in tyranny, Deká’s fate becoming his own tragedy.
