With increased support from the Rangers, Lampo, Yana and Targus enforcement techniques were better organized.
Across the stellar arm, Clys/Esda, Odel, Gnalinx and Ivista struggled to manage the increasing reports of theft, manipulated influence peddling within judicial circles and higher-ranking government officials.
Laocal and Alcadat systems were still sparsely settled.
Threatened and often muzzled locals didn’t trust the immerging elite. They trusted Sheriff and Ranger even less.

Fresh ideas, a skillfully managed and sophisticated intelligence network, slowly gathered strength . . . waiting for an opportunity.
