“If I can deliver my people a victory before I die,” Sachin said, “break the Martian hold on this world—if only for a few years, enough to see us through my end—and if I can ensure the next generation will not be smaller than the last . . . then maybe we can survive even what the Empire throws at us. Even atomics.”

The Dregs of Empire, Chapter 13: The Subterrane

* The Outborn are descendants of escaped prisoners, living beyond the reach of Martian control in the frozen tundra and deep wilderness. For generations, they have endured in subterranean caverns, derelict vessels, and fortified hideouts. Some factions operate as organized paramilitary forces seeking full planetary autonomy.
