Can utopia exist?
A united group of aliens purchased the fourth planet of the Ou system from the galactic government more than fifty years ago. They renamed it Pturllel, a world for peace and unity. The intergalactic community thought it was a joke, a foolish endeavor by radicals unable to cope with reality. Everyone believed it would fail, but the united group of aliens moved and settled on their new world regardless.
The experiment started off rough, but it grew into a truly independent system. They wanted nothing to do with the old ways of their previous civilizations, so they isolated themselves and became as self-sufficient as possible. What they had, they made it work and minimized waste. What they didn't have, they managed without. They grew to like their creation, and it worked.
But nothing can remain isolated.
The old ways still lingered amongst the stars and in the backgrounds of the individuals living on Pturllel. A few traders ventured to and from the world, and word of the experiment's success spread from one civilization to another. Isolation wasn't absolute, and it wouldn't remain ignored.
War continued in the galaxy. Alien civilizations would need more—want more—and conflicts would be born and grow. Hate spread, war came, and death followed. The conflicts left nothing untouched, and it eventually found its way to the Ou system, to the fourth planet, to Pturllel….
