For that is what they were - prisoners and dissidents from other worlds whom the hated \u003cb\u003eCatten\u003c\/b\u003ei had banished to an empty planet - or what they thought was an empty planet.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eKris Bjornsen\u003c\/b\u003e and her fellow slaves had survived very well - thanks to \u003cb\u003eZainal\u003c\/b\u003e, a high ranking Catteni also trapped on Botany. Zainal knew the Catteni ways and the Catteni technology, and he had plans for fighting back.
