Drafting:
Crest of the Stars is a science fiction saga based on a novel series that follows the life of Jinto Lin. His existence is fundamentally altered when the Humankind Empire Abh takes over his home planet of Martine without firing a single shot. This transition occurred because Jinto's father, who served as the planet's prime minister, handed the world over to the Abh in exchange for a standing within the Abh Empire. As a consequence of this political arrangement, Jinto is elevated to the status of a prince and is sent away to undergo an Abh Education. This training is designed to teach him the Abh language and culture while preparing him for a future as a nobleman, a role he neither desired nor expected. During his studies, Jinto meets Lafiel, a princess of the Abh Empire. Although she possesses a cold exterior, the two characters quickly become friends. The narrative trajectory of the series shifts significantly when the Abh Empire is plunged into war shortly after these events, setting the stage for the unfolding story within the galaxy.
