Plot:
Devoted to meditation, the Draags, gargantuan blue-hued humanoids of an elevated state of existence, are the predominant species on the distant planet Ygam. However, cruelty drives the intellectual creatures; the gigantic Draags keep the minuscule Om race under their thumb, domesticating the enslaved beings for their use as servants or pets. But the oppressed cannot remain under the heel of the few forever. And then Terr, a rebellious Om orphan, escapes captivity under everyone's noses, stealing his masters' immense superhuman knowledge. Now, with war and systematic extermination threatening the entire planet's social stability, the feral Om colonies must prepare to die for their freedom. As the future of both species hangs by a thread, are the Draags and the Oms capable of peace, change, and coexistence?
