Imperium Galactic

No-one prepared Haynes to be a king. The previous king committed treason against the Imperium. Only a mage who works for a higher being can be trusted by the Imperium leaders to be king. And only Haynes is such a person from his planet. But is everyone happy with the change in power? Haynes has Imperium responsibilities to carry out, and mages to train. But what of those who never wanted to join the Imperium in the first place? The times are changing for Haynes's world, but which way will the changes go? Haynes has only one option. He must be the Mage King.

Dianne 'Rockmonster' Keaton has come a long way from being a cadet. She fought in the Trixone war, and then joined the reconstituted 266 Squadron. She's happy. She has her demons, but what pilot doesn't? But overall, she's content being where she is. Sooner or later though, you get called to step up. Especially in the Imperium. What is going on in the galaxy beyond Kelewan? Someone has to go and find out. It's time for Rockmonster Rules.

Out in the contested zone between Keerah and Ralnor space, there's a planet. On this planet is someone who needs rescuing. Thousands of light years from the nearest Imperium planet, it shouldn't be their concern. So why is it? And why does someone in the Imperium even know about this? Jodie Mills is the go-to marine colonel when you want something done, and the Peck twins are busy. But Jodie has a secret which has now caught up with her. Someone has to go, and who better than her? But how to motivate her into joining would seem to be the problem. She needs a team. Or is it the team needs her? They also need a pilot and a mage. But what kind of group would even contemplate such a mission, so far from anywhere? Soldiers of Fortune.

For Arthur, home isn't what it used to be. The threat his people are now obsessing about is gone, thanks to Merlin. And Arthur isn't the only one unhappy with their current assignment, which is partly based on the fact Merlin has vanished again. However, you should be careful what you wish for. Unknown to them, elsewhere in the galaxy, old tensions have exploded into war. Back in the galaxy's core there are those who need Arthur, and don't know it yet. But are Arthur's ships and people going to be enough this time? Arthur accepting he was THE Arthur was one thing. He was never really Arthur Hunter in his own mind, let alone the Arthur Pendragon of legend. Just Arthur. But how much say in that he'll actually get, he's about to find out.

Gitte isn't looking forward to becoming Matriarch of her people. But if all goes well, it won't happen for a long time. She thought she'd already found her true calling. Her life is filled with training mages, Imperium emergencies, and filling in for a leader who refuses to leave their planet. But there's something she doesn't know. Some place she's never heard of. Some reason why she's about to find out about them. And some one who wants her to step up and become what she's always been: The Matriarch.
