This is the initial arc of the "Siege of Valhalla." In this first section we get to know a bit of the world and important characters on the planet of Valhalla. Valhalla is proving to be a garden of the future for the Pimogie Empire. Things get shaken up when Robertus, a Caesar in the Pimogie Empire and the planetary governor of Valhalla, is invited to a party being hosted by the Federation. Seeing this as an opportunity to mend the relationship of the Pimogies and the Federation, Robertus needs to see if it would be a wise choice to attend, for his life could be on the line, and that Valhalla is safe in his absence.
