I love sci-fi so I thought it might interesting to place Olitz in this genre. Let me know what you think. As usual I don't own these great characters, they belong to the great Shonda Rhimes.

Prologue

In the Dunai sector of the Penzanni cluster lays the Sokoto system. The largest plant in the eight-planet system is Hadar. The planet Hadar is lush, verdant and serene. The people are content, homogenous in thought and purpose, intellectually gifted and technologically advanced. The people of Hadar are also survivors. Thousands of years ago, unrelenting war brought the inhabitants of Hadar to the brink of total and complete global obliteration. Historical records detail how the original infractions that spawned the relentless pursuits of revenge, retaliation and the restoration of faction honor had long been forgotten and replaced with the mindless bloodlust for domination for domination's sake. Fortunately, the innate desire for peace finally gained a foothold in the psyche of those who could affect change. The leaders of the four strongest factions at the time had an epiphany of sorts and met in secret to devise a plan to end once and for all the seemingly inescapable vocation of worldwide death and destruction. The weaker factions and splinter groups were given a choice; either surrender and accept the terms and conditions of peace or face complete annihilation at the hands of the coalition of four. Faced with the prospect of a worldwide pogrom, all the combatants readily laid down their arms and came to the table not to negotiate peace but to implement it.

Peace and unity no matter the cost became the mantra and the embodiment of the people's very existence. The people agreed to discard those traditional estates that led to division, incited hostility and created societal classes. Politics gave way to service. Religion was transformed into secular affirmation. Only those elements of faith that edified all and exalted none were retained. The idea of class was eclipsed by education and the cultivation of the individual for strengthening the society as a whole.

The planet is divided into four sectors: agriculture, science and technology, manufacturing/industry, education and leisure. Each sector is headed by an elected leader called a doyen. An assembly of twelve sages provides vetting support to the doyen. The four sectors are designed to create interdependence between the sectors and by extension, interdependence amongst the people. No one sector can thrive or survive without the other three. This dedication to mutual dependency is why the Hadarians flourished. They believe their emotional, economic and moral interconnectedness is the hedge against the darkness that had previously plunged their planet into chaos. This interconnectedness also fuels their determination to find a solution to the latest crisis threatening their very existence; their sun is posed to go supernova, extinction is imminent.

Fortunately, because the Hadarians are technologically advanced, they have had advanced notice of the galactic catastrophe that awaits them. For the last 500 years, the science and technology sector has worked tirelessly to combat the effects of their sun's pending collapse; but the only real solution is relocation. Relocation to a new planet, in a new system, far away from the devastation the residual effects of a supernova will cause.

The sacrifice and love of two people will ensure the Hadarians survival. Those two people are Doyen Fitzgerald Grant and astrobiologists Olivia Pope. Their love for each other and their people will transcend time and space. It will become the safeguard of the people that resurrects in times of trouble or need.
