On her first mission to Prosperine, the Alien Corps' Hickory Lace formed a friendship with the alien mystic, Kar-sèr-Sephiryth. Together, they prevented the Bikashi/Pharlaxian coalition from overthrowing Prosperine's government.
However, the Pharlaxian leader escaped capture, and now he's inciting the northern clans to war.
