Erin Goes South

An Athena Colony Story

Athena is a colony world orbiting Helios, otherwise known as 70 Ophiuchi A. Due to a devastating biological weapon attack discovered during the voyage from Sol, the male gender has become extinct. The colony biologists create gene edited clones capable of parthenogenic reproduction to survive. Fifty-six Femina Sapiens sororities gradually replace the last of the original Homo Sapiens colonists and adapt to survive on their new world.

This story is set some four generations after landing. Troupe Leader Erin leads the Southern Troupe of the Eastern Road on a mission to protect the colonists from native wildlife.
