Federation World
FIELD TEST
The Federation of Galactic Sentients had a mission. As new planets and
species were discovered and assessed, the deserving of their populations were invited to move en masse to the fabulous Federation World, a modified Dyson Sphere located in the galactic core.
But not all of the Federation inductees were suited to the idyllic life of
the World. Martin and Beth were two of the rare ones chosen instead for
the demanding job ov First Contact. Their training was extensive, but
all too soon the two Earth-humans were out on their own with all the
amazing technology of the Federation at their command.
Martin knew that training was no substitute for experience. In First Contact, his first mistake would likely be his last.
