Upcoming short story: Insurrection.

[Fel]

It has been five years since the sudden return of the Karinnes, and the Imperium is on the verge of a war from within.

House Trillane intends to secede from the Imperium and attempt to establish its own empire, and Empress Dahnai works to prevent her empire from crumbling into pieces that would be at war with each other. Not even the fear of the mysterious, deadly Karinne Battle Fleet is enough to dissuade Trillane from its goal, for the Trillanes have shadowy allies from outside the Imperium, and more resources at its disposal than even the Kimdori realize.

All things are not quiet on the home front for the Karinnes, either. Grand Duke Jason Augustus Fox Shaddale Karinne has his own share of house issues to deal with, as the House of Karinne both suffers from growing pains, and also faces a moment of revelation: Karis is becoming too big to keep secret from the Imperium. Already, the Grand Duke knows that some houses suspect that is where the Karinnes went when they vanished, and the Karinne fleet finds itself dealing with more and more probes of the Karis system, seeking out the truth. Jason Karinne knows that the time of the unveiling of Karis is inevitable, only the control over that declaration is the issue. Jason Karinne knows that when the Imperium learns the truth of Karis, the system will literally be under seige from the onslaught of spies and covert teams sent to discover the secrets of the Karinne's superior technology.

Facing an impending war on one side and the endangerment of jealously guarded secrets of the house on the other, the Grand Duke Karinne finds himself playing a dangerous game of deception and intrigue, as he weighs the viability of the Imperium against the security of his house, and the ancient secrets that it guards.

Secrets that, should they become common knowledge, would incite an intergalactic war.

I can't wait to revisit Jason and all his friends, I've found myself re-reading it over and over again as I'm bored at work.

[Journeywoman]

Oooh... shiny ! Can't wait to get my greasy little hands on it, well figuratively speaking anyway .

[afrigeek]

oh boy!!! I've just finished my Nth re-read of subjugation and then I find this. Wonderful. Infact I have to say that while I have found myself unable to read the Kael chronicles too many times, I've read and re-read subjugation so many times.

Ooh! Hope I don't die of anticipation in the meantime.

[TStyle]

I've been waiting for some new Subjugation for a long time... thanks Fel!

I saw the Karrine crest posted by jrs772000 and got inspired to vector it and create a sample cover. Hope I got it right ...

[Fel]

Wow, that's pretty darn good. Thanks for all the hard work.

I realized that the waves didn't match the style of the rest of the drawing, so I fixed them. I think this is much better and it looks good as gold on black for house armor, too.

Kabalman2000,
The images are spectacular. I can't remember how the star was to appear with the pheonix, but with the old imblem I know it was between the waves, which would make the waves bigger or the star lower, but I think the look you have is perfect. I've seen a couple of images with the flat water between the two waves, like your first one, that always looked out of place, but your last two solved that problem.

Now all we need is to have someone who is good with 3D rendering to draw characters with special equipment and include this image in the visuals.
