The Anonlah are a nonviolent down-to-earth race who, with the help of the Kahlotah, defected from the Nazahpas. The older generations of Gideon’s people have made The Promise, but that does not extend to the Band of Brothers, responsible for the protection of their people. When Nemmin, a Kahlotah recruiter shows up, Gideon would be honored to return the favor, and brings along three of the Band of Brothers to do so. Their arrival receives a chilly reception by some.
