A Union Against All Odds

The Formex Bosh is a gin-joint at the ass-end of the universe. Not much of a place to write home about, but the drinks are strong, the gambling lively, and people from all walks of life are welcome (as long as their credits are good). But, when two young lovers come in, a Diter-atelur and a Thysanrinae—races at war with each other for decades—will their displays of affection enrage the drunken bigotry of the hunter class Diter-nicolet, celebrating their latest kill, or water the seeds of tolerance and acceptance.
