The date was Friday, February 15th, 2915, when Womankind's first faster-than-light starship, S.E.A.S.S. StarChild, left the Matriarchate on its very first mission into deep space far beyond Womankind's own home system.Originally intended to be a mission of peaceful exploration and scientific research, it developed instead into one of violent conflict, a battle for survival between those resourceful and courageous women aboard StarChild and an insidious alien menace as ancient as it was beyond insane—alien beings that threatened not only StarChild's crew but the whole of Humanity.It's a story related here in great detail, not only from the viewpoint of those intrepid women who lived it, but the loved ones they left behind as well in those last few days leading up to StarChild's early departure.It's a story of not only survival but also love and romance, loyalty and devotion in dangerous and uncertain times, and told here for the very first time.It's a story of that herstory-making beginning of Womankind's future exploration and colonization of deep space beyond the Tammyite Matriarchate, the many worlds of Womankind.
