Krr'Tip - A young, intelligent eight foot arachnid is considered an outcast by all the arachnid clans. Exiled from her clan three years previous, she comes across a strange creature only possessing two legs. This creature has been injured, and she doesn't know how to relate to something so vastly different from herself. During her adventures, she learns what this creature is, how to relate to it, and eventually - befriends it. Bruce Adams - Human captain in the Explorer Corps. Stranded. Alone. Injured. Captain Adams finds himself on a planet of "over-sized" arachnids and insects. With no means to know if they are intelligent, he must figure out how to communicate with the native species. Captain Adams finds himself literally falling at the feet of Krr'Tip, an exiled spider. Trell - An overly aggressive reptile measuring over eight feet from nose to tail. The description closest matching what Trell looks like would be a cross between the velociraptor and the tyrannosaurus of Earth. The reptiles hate any race that tries to stop them from conquering the universe, becoming the dominant species. Frell - A young, inquisitive wasp that lets her curiosity get the better of her, ends up being a gift to Bruce from Krr'Tip. She becomes one of his most loyal friends. She finds that her enemy can be her friend in the form of Krr'Tip and wants to explore the stars with both of them. During the war with the reptiles, Bruce becomes stranded on a planet with oversized insects and has to learn to work with them for the very survival of the human race and everyone else the reptiles want to conquer....
