8p preview of Tantric Stripfighter Trina
2383. The Earth and its outlying colonies are governed by a coalition of political, corporate and religious groups named the C.R.O.W.N (Combined Ruler ship of World Nations) and the C.O.G. (Children of God).
Centuries of mining Earth and Mars for their natural resources have forced the C.O.G and the C.R.O.W.N. to look for new sources of energy. A volunteer program is started for people who are willing to have their genetic structures altered to live in the harsh environments of Mercury, Venus and Jupiter.
Several years after the first volunteers undergo the treatment, it becomes apparent that the C.R.O.W.N. never had the ability to undo the changes. This ignites a civil war between the government forces and the genetic workers that plunges Earth’s colonies into a state of complete and utter chaos. Only one planet is a safe from the war; a small terra formed world called Rama, where a group of refuges from populated space practice a religion called Tantrika that combines the teaching of the Hindu Tantric of India and the Shaolin monks of China. The leaders of the C.O.G. see the Tantrics as a threat to their religious powerbase and the fragile peace that is slowly being established between the government forces and the Genetics. They secretly order an attack on the Tantric home world that wipes the entire colony out of existence, killing every man, woman and child except one…
Trina Devi is the last of the Tantric Adepts and a master of the esoteric art of Stripfighting; a tantalizing fusion of Shaolin martial arts and Tantric sensuality, where practitioners use articles of clothing as weapons to subdue and incapacitate their opponents. Trina has tracked two men who have ties to the attack on her home world and as the story opens she is trying to get a job as a bounty hunter in order to capture the men and find out what they know about the attack. She is accompanied by Bonds; a sarcastic bail bonds robot assigned to evaluate her skills and an outlaw pilot named Chrome Abbey; who wants to learn the ways of the Tantric Adepts.
