The Rule of Law — James Howell

I am Supreme Lord Falgon of the Vandernan. I preside over the Vandernan Supreme Council. We, the assembled Higher Lords, are the guardians of this Galaxy. The Rule of Law is overseen by the Court of Allowances. It is the first and last Court of Law in the known Universe. There is no appeal and all verdicts are final. It is the fate of one of the oldest and most feared race of beings ever to exist in the known Universe that will now be decided. We the Vandernan are the policemen that the Court depends on for enforcement of the laws and the execution of their decrees. They are the MicLanden. 10,000 years ago these deadly beings were decimated during a genocidal war from a population of over Two Trillion beings down to just 1,183. Those survivors were imprisoned on a world where they could never disrupt other races or wage war in the Universe again. They were not any kind of threat to the universe; until today.
