Terran researchers investigate an ice planet. They come across an ancient force that could change the balance of power in the galaxy....
The light of sun A-7234 glimmered reddish. Idris al-Khalil put on his goggles. They were urgently needed if one did not want to go blind in a relatively short time in this white, completely icy environment.
The earthling looked around, let his gaze wander over the cold wasteland. A landscape, as one found it on earth at most in the Antarctic. But here on the earthly settler world of Candoy, it was the equatorial zone that looked like this. The planet was completely covered by ice. Temperatures were constantly below freezing. In cold winters, they fell below the minus-hundred-degree mark. Killer storms then swept across the desert-like icy plains. A few degrees warmer and Candoy would be a water world, Idris thought. On Earth, too, there had been periods of total glaciation in distant geological epochs that had reached all the way to the equator, as was now assumed. Snow and ice provided for further snowfalls and still more ice. This was a law of nature. The white, cold surfaces reflected the sunlight, throwing it back into space. For the next several millennia, there was little chance that climatic conditions on Candoy would change in any way.
A lump of ice with an oxygen atmosphere, that's exactly what this planet was. This is how it was seen by the earthly settlers who had taken the risk of settling here. Quite a few had succumbed to the adverse climatic conditions, for life on Candoy was extremely hard. But there were valuable resources here that made this venture seem appropriate. That is why most of the settlers were here.
