Uris, the Princess Regent of Ur, whose mother died at her birth, rules for her father who has gone to map the new neutron star Draco. Returning from a hunt, she is summoned to the ruling world of the known galaxies on Regis Xinor.

Fifty-three students. One assignment. No rules. Amid typical high school stresses and constraints, a creative challenge provides insight into the minds of teenagers. Given the sole guideline to "write what you know," a group of high school juniors has reached deep within themselves to produce pieces of work which genuinely reflect their newly-discovered individual styles.

An object that both those present at the event and those who missed it would want to own - bringing something new to both sets of readers
