Crest of the Stars

The planet Martine is invaded by an alien race known as the Abh. In order to prevent bloodshed and to guarantee his place among Abh aristocracy, the president surrenders. Years later, his son is tasked with learning the culture of their new rulers.

Sitting idly in a spaceport, Jinto awaits his Abh chaperone. Having never seen an Abh in person before, reality and his expectations don’t quite match up.

Jinto meets the captain of the patrol ship Gosroth and learns more about Lafiel.

The Gosroth is attacked by enemy forces, so the captain orders Lafiel and Jinto to escape to the planet Sufugnoff.

The enemy closes in on the Gosroth and the battle begins. Meanwhile, Lafiel and Jinto try to distract themselves from the most likely outcome of the encounter.

Jinto and Lafiel arrive at Baron Febdash’s territory to refuel, but what starts out as a pleasant sidetrack takes an ominous turn.
