Planet of Creation

Commander Thettumir leads the battered Urgollian fleet through the wreckage of defeat, stranded in deep space after a costly battle with Earth and running out of time, power, and options. With only a cloud-shrouded world nearby, he risks a desperate landing on a planet that may offer repairs—or destruction—while the pressure mounts for a people facing revolution and overcrowding if the fleet fails to return. In private, Thettumir and his second-in-command, Kasthel, turn defeat into ruthless ambition, deciding that Urgoll's survival may require the strong to seize control, discard the weak, and build a new war machine capable of conquering Earth. But once the fleet reaches the mysterious world, the expected refuge proves harsh and barren, with scarce repair materials and impossible choices. Then the planet itself begins to change: fog and emptiness give way to grass, trees, and living growth, hinting at a hidden power that could upend the Urgollians' plans and transform their struggle for survival into something far more dangerous.
