Philip the Bard's Harappan Blog: The Paladin Society and the HFA


Greetings wonderful readers. Thanks for being here.

The Paladin Society, or the Pals, were working to hinder SID operations in any way they could. Paladin had tried to carry our a guerilla war against the SID’s mining operation in the White Mountains. He was able to force them to change their plans. They moved their mining site to a location they thought Paladin would leave alone. History tells us how well that worked.

When Paladin was killed on Harvest Day he became a martyr for all Harappans. A lot of people felt some guilt that paladin died doing what we all should have been doing. 

I suppose that in hindsight, we Harappans didn’t have much of a chance. Once Salus got in bed with the Earthers and the SID we were doomed. The best thing to come out of this was that Max, the Mother of the Galaxy learned an important lesson. How knows what would have happened is Max Gavaskar did not know the importance of speaking as one people during a First Contact?

So, the Pals worked for several years agains’t the SID. Did they accomplish anything? Yes and no.

They were instrumental in helping Max Gavaskar escape the SID’s clutches when she first discovered their dark secret. Alice Toten, one of the top leaders of the Pals, met with Max and arranged for her to go to Salmo on planet Lava. 

So much of what we know as history happened because Max Gavaskar just happened to be on planet Lava when Dorian Thain passed through there on his way home to Kusha. How would have things gone differently had Max not been present for the Kusha Coup, First Contact and the Bhor Blast? She certainly would not be known as the Mother of the Galaxy.
