From publisher blurb: The Melanathee are the oldest of the six major species in the Ephemeris universe. Now you can learn about their sector of space. Learn about the planets they've colonized, the systems they battle to try to control, and the systems that even they fear to enter. The Ephemeris Encyclopedia Galactica will be a multi-volume collection looking at each sector of space. You can start with Sector Three (Melanathee Space).
