Sentenced to exile by his home world, he's hungry for revenge. Only he isn't innocent and Alliance space is no safe haven. When off-worlders promise Seolta den Coille revenge against those who helped falsely imprison him, he grabs hold with both fists. Not surprisingly, it doesn't end well and he's banished into exile.
