Oren Viridian, the youngest child of a Baron in the Orion Empire, never expected to have any responsibilities. But when his parents sell off all of their planets but one, Oren is forced to pack his things and camp out on a world with no one but his childhood robot pet. Can he take ICC-414802b2 and turn it from a lonely ball of rock on the outskirts of the Empire and turn it into a thriving destination? Probably not. But maybe he can make enough of a living from the smugglers and bandits passing through to get his Internet connection back.
