The once forbidden world of Blackwell-C once more demonstrates just how far sadistic men will go. The feudal barons ruled with an iron fist, just as they always had, even though the corporations had landed and tried to extend their control over this world, recently allowed into the Federation, bringing modern methods and genetic modifications with them. The wives of the barons, the baronesses were now genetically modified into the UFB women. Thanks to modern genetic mutations, these blinded women no longer could speak, but were held up as the epitome of beauty on Blackwell-C. The children of the two top barons and the CEOs of Galactic Dynamics and Galactic Electronics were coming of age, twenty-one, when they could legally become baronesses. These four top leaders had their own plans for who would marry whom. The barons ideas differed from the CEOs. Their children who had grown up together had their own ideas about whom they would marry. Specifically, the boys had their opinions, which differed drastically from the girls, who had boyfriends outside this tightly controlled group. These young women were second-generation UFB women and quite independent, compared to the newly made UFB women. These CEO's had just acquired the clone growth machines of Dr. Decker and the new devices just developed on Ragnar-B, the Shadow Makers. In addition, their geneticists had developed a new bio genetic agent and perfected the methods to clone a person. With their daughters attempting to marry against their wishes, their sons arguing to marry whom they wished, the CEOs acted, exposing their sons to the genetic mutation bio agent, disposing of the subsequently helpless sons, and growing clone replacements. This terrified the remaining sons, who decided to take their own actions against these top four men. Meanwhile, the six boyfriends of the six young women also decided that they had to act, for the barons and CEOs would never let them marry their daughters. Plots and counter-plots are executed, resulting in disaster for many. At least, the six boyfriends and the six young women escaped for now. In the ensuing chaos, two local generals took over control of Blackwell-C, imposing first martial law and then their own brand of rulership. The answered the workers' requests, passing a law demanding one UFB women per household. The soldiers began carrying out this new mandate. However, the corporations reacted to this harshly, sending in new CEOs with their UFB women wives. They were given carte blanche to do whatever was necessary to put Blackwell-C totally under the control of the corporations. Unknown to these new CEOs, their bosses were testing out the control mechanisms of robots on them Follow the societal evolution of this, perhaps the most sadistic of all Federation worlds, as they finally break free from both their past barons and corporations rule.
