Editing War Planets (section)

==Plot==
In a system of four worlds, Rock, Ice, Fire and Bone, each rich in one kind of resource but lacking in others, the denizens raid each other ceaseless, launching sneak attacks and even full-fledged wars to pilfer the resources they need to survive and to try and defend themselves from being pilfered in turn.  Which is as stupid as it sounds.  If you have a huge surplus of something and need something someone else has a surplus off but they lack what you have, you trade.  Then again, they’re xenos.

When a raid on Ice by quarriors from Rock goes sour, King Cryos of Ice and a humble miner, Graveheart, engage in some brief banter. Before Cryos can order the Rockmen executed, an alien ship crashes nearby, a number of other ships hot on its tail. Graveheart rescues the first pilot, a [[monstergirl|weirdly sexy robo-girl]] named Tekla, before bizarre creatures of red-black are created by the circling ships. They massacre Icemen and Rockmen alike, leaving only Graveheart, Cryos and Tekla alive. Miraculously defeating their assailants, Tekla explains herself to be the last survivor of Planet Tek, and her assailants as "Beast Drones", servants of the "Beast Planet" that devoured her world and her species with it.

It is a threat that no one world can hope to stand alone against, but can they really band together and form an Alliance that might save them from the Beast...?
