[Spider Wars 01] • First Contact

**Aliens, Corrupt Government, Indifferent Corporations, Backwater Planets, Unlikely Heroes**

2/17/2017: New proofread finished and new draft uploaded to correct errors.

In the distant future, humans have colonized hundreds of planets and thousands of moons and asteroids. We travel between planets in large numbers and have made advances in all aspects of human achievement. As with the present, the future with all its advancements is not exactly Utopia. Powerful politicians and the extremely rich enjoy benefits on the planets closest to Earth that trillions of people on the outer planets only dream about. Large corporations have replaced nations and control planets and billions of workers. Workers live and work on the same planet and for the same corporations as generations of their ancestors. Generations have lived with no hope of ever having any life other than one of “just getting by”.

At least they don't have to worry about other species competing with us. – Well, until now.

Join our unlikely band of heroes as they pull together to save the people on outer-rim planets that have been left by an uncaring government and greedy corporations to face the alien invaders as they sweep over planet after planet harvesting everything in their sight.
