The Ophidian Conspiracy

In the far distant future, the Anomian League—an interstellar protectorate which serves as a guardian over the far flung worlds of mankind—is faced with a possible rebellion on the world of Seker. The Ophidians, an alien race engineered from the DNA of humans, snakes and other creatures, had in the past used their psionic powers to enslave all of humanity. In the end, after a devastating war, the Ophidians were exiled to the backwater world of Seker where they have stayed ever since.
