Patriarch Alliance- Good Life, Great Memories

Planet Dembang is also known as the Dark Planet. This is because all the men on the planet are black, while all the women are white. At 18 months old, all the newborns on the planet undergo skin augmentations. Male babies have their skin darken to midnight black, while female babies have their skin lighten to a white as clear as snow.

The Outer Planets, the Lost Terran Empire

Planet Dembang is known as one of the most beautiful planets known to mankind. Kiki Frings could understand why. As the sun rise, the whole sky slowly turns from darkness to a gorgeous bronze. The bronze sky is in direct contrast to the yellow grasslands that filled the planet; truly a breathtaking sight to behold.

 

“Beautiful, isn’t it?”

 

            Kiki turned to the man who spoke. Ray Umaga is the Cultural Minister of Planet Dembang and the man who invited him to see the sunrise in his house. As part of the Patriarch Alliance delegation to Dembang, it was an invitation Kiki can’t refuse. Kiki looked at Ray Umaga and liked what he saw. A tall strong man, Ray Umaga has his hair styled in the dreadlocks that is the fashion in Dembang. One look and you can tell that he was a former soldier, and why the Alliance wanted Dembang as an ally.

 

“Yes it is. Dembang is every bit as beautiful as its reputation Minister.”

“I thank you for the praise.”

 

            The minister then raised his hand and a female came forward with a tray. The minister poured 2 cups of coffee, handing one cup to Kiki. As Kiki gave his thanks, the female stepped back, joining the other female at the corner of the room. Kiki looked at the 2 females and wasn’t surprised with what he saw. Both females were wearing a white corset with a long white skirt that reaches their ankles. A long slip in the front of the skirt shows you the panties they were wearing. Each was also wearing a white bra that supports their tits, but Kiki can clearly see the nipples as there was a big hole in each cup. Both females also had their very blond hair tied in a neat bun and they, like all females in the Outer Rims were barefooted. Kiki could also see that the 2 females were wearing different panties, one red, and the other blue.

 

“The color of the panties shows their rank right?” Kiki was careful to ask the question in an offhanded matter.

“Yes.” The minister answered carefully. “Red panties show that the female is a wife while blue shows that she is a concubine.”

“Is there a difference?”

“A wife can only be fucked by her husband, while a concubine may be shared with friends. Different from the Alliance isn’t it.”

“Yes it is,” Kiki agreed. “In the Alliance, a female can only be fucked by her master. We seldom share.”

“Here on Dembang, the custom of sharing a concubine is considered a great honor. Something that’s only done between true friends.”

“A difference in culture then. Something we have to share when Dembang joined the Alliance.”

The minister looked at Kiki for a few seconds then asked, “You truly believed this will worked? The Patriarch Alliance wants Dembang to join them?”

“Yes. The Alliance currently only has 3 planets; Whiteside, Thordaw and Kadir. Considering the danger we are all in, we need each other.”

 

            Ray Umaga sat back and ponders on the situation. Kiki knew what he was thinking. The Terran Empire had attacked a planet in the Outer Rims 3 months ago. They were still fighting, but sooner or later the Terran will win. Then they will case their eyes over the rest of the Outer Rims planets. Alone, none of the independent planets has a chance against the Empire, but together they may. That was why the delegation was on Dembang. The Patriarch Alliance may be the biggest force in the Outer Rims but Planet Dembang has the most powerful military. With the Alliance resources and the Dembang power, they would then try to convince the rest of the planets to join them in opposing the Empire. Of course, that’s easier said than done.

 

“The Patriarch Alliance is an economic alliance. Why would King Unbei want to join with you?”

Kiki was ready for this question. “The Alliance has resources Dembang cannot get. Energy, crystals and raw materials that Dembang do not have and quite frankly have no chance of getting. You may have the most powerful military in the Outer Rims, but it is next to nothing compared to the Empire. By sheer numbers, the Empire will win in any war in the Outer Rims. Only together will the Outer Rims have a chance.”

“And that’s the problem!” Ray stated. “You want to get all 13 planets in the Rims together. That is just not possible. Although we all follow the Laws of Nature that states that men are superior to females, we are just too different!”

“Differences that can be overcome.”

“On Planet Zilan, gays rule over lesbians. On Planet Endar, females are called ponygirls. Even in the Alliance, you consider females to be nothing but animals. Here on Dembang, we consider our wives and concubines to be prizes. In return for their servitude, men must protect and provide for them. No man on Dembang would consider their wives to be animals, and I must add that homosexuality is a crime on Dembang. How can we possibly work together with such differences?”

Kiki was ready for this question as well. The answer was ready very simple. “We must work together because we have no choice Minister. Do you truly want to be cloned?”

 

            That shut the minister up. Even the 2 females at the corner looked very uncomfortable. When humans first started conquering the stars, they faced a huge problem. That was numbers. Exploration came so fast that there just weren’t enough men to develop existing planets and continue explorations at the same time. The problem was solved with cloning. Men were worked to their death on the planets, and when they died, a new clone would be used to replace them. With such an endless number of workers, working conditions on the planets fell like a stone. Why spent money on safety when it’s so much cheaper to just clone another worker. Men were born knowing that they would be lucky to survive till they were 30; and when you died, you died knowing that another you would be used to replace you. Generations and generations of such slave labor were used to man the planets. So when the Walien Theocracy first arrived in the Outer Rims in 7816, the aliens found a population that was more than happy to back them against the Terran Empire. And when the aliens outlawed cloning as an ‘un-natural act’, alien invaders became alien liberators.  Now over 200 years later, the aliens have withdrawn and the Terrans were back.

 

“We do not want to be cloned, but still…all 13 planets together in one alliance is an impossible idea.” The minister sighed. “Even in the Patriarch Alliance, with just 3 planets, you have problems. Just try to imagine what will happen with 13 planets?” 

“I myself am from Planet Thordaw,” Kiki said. “There are things on Kadir and Whiteside which I don’t agree with but these are things I can tolerate because each planet has their own culture.” Kiki continued, “And we are stronger together than we are alone. King Unbei does not want to lose power by joining the Alliance. We can understand that. The people of Dembang do not want to lose their independence by joining the Alliance. We can understand that also. But the deal is one you have to take because if you do not…you will lose everything to the Empire.”

The minister was quiet again. Finally he said, “I will take your advice to His Majesty on the matter.”
