Publisher's blurb: Eneri’s Cantina at Affinity Highport is the quintessential starport bar where adventures begin, patrons are met, rumours are heard and weary Travellers wind down after weeks in jumpspace. It is a place to get a good stiff drink and have the chance to rub elbows with the movers and shakers of the Sylean Main. The winds of change are blowing in the region, and the high-tech industrial world of Ase is making moves to establish itself as a power broker. Unfortunately for Affinity and worlds like it, they might become casualties of Ase’s master plan, but such is life in the politically charged, high-stakes Core where everything is done on a grand, winner-take-all scale. The Travellers become embroiled in these events even though all they really want to do is save their favourite bar. They become pawns in a dangerous political game that might forever change not just Affinity, but an entire way of life… and not for the better. If they play their cards right, they might just find the key to saving Eneri’s Cantina and preserving the things they hold dear.
