If you thought the U. S. 2024 election was crazy, wait until you read about the Obama-inspired presidential election on Askelon!

Askelon, the most advanced world in the Trimary System, is facing unprecedented economic disaster.

It’s election year; President Muriel Enza is challenged by Barry Boyd, a popular member of the Senate. Boyd’s campaign platform is simple—the office of President is just too stressful for a woman to handle.

With only eight weeks until the election, the economy is in a nosedive and the cost of energy is skyrocketing. The nearby world of Environ, Askelon’s primary energy supplier, is under siege by insurgents who have captured Environ’s hydroleum conversion facility, reducing exports by 70%. Unless the insurgents can be overthrown, Askelon’s economy will be in the toilet.

To make matters worse, a terrorist bomb destroys the hydroleum storage tanks on Starport 1, further depleting Askelon’s fuel reserves; and the Orbital Dock Workers Union threatens to strike, freezing all cargo shipments to and from the planet. Unless Enza can turn things around quickly, Askeloni civilization will slip into decline…but certain men in high places will do ANYTHING to stop her. What do they care if the economy collapses?—it’s only politics.
