Dragon Riders: Chronicles of Pern
           www.ubisoft.com/dragonriders/home.html

An epic adventure from the world of Pern...

For centuries, the dragons of Pern and their riders have protected
their world from the alien oppressor, Thread. Mightiest among the
dragons are the Gold Dragons, and their riders, the Weyrwomen -
crusading for the free people of Pern. But now your Weyrwoman is
dead, and her gold dragon is dying. Unless you can find a new
rider to take up her mantle, your weyr - and perhaps all of Pern -
is doomed.

Your Journey Begins.

Welcome to the world of Pern... Pern is a world in the process of
discovery. Millennia ago mankind first set foot on this barren
planet having travelled through the stars from earth, light years
distant. The first colony thrived until an unseen attack from a
parasitic life form left them desolate and stranded. The enemy
fell from a planet that passed by Pern every 200 years and came to
be known as Thread.

Fearing for their future the colony moved into the dormant
volcanoes of the North and began work upon a system of Thread
defence. Thus were spawned the Dragons, genetically modified from
a much smaller indigenous life form known as the Fire Lizard.

Over time it was discovered the Dragons could psychically bond
with their riders, becoming soul mates for life. With their
technology shattered and all hope gone, mankind forged a new
society where the wonders of science became the artefacts of the
past. The Dragonriders became the protectorates of Pern as
humanity found a new home in the stars...

And that is where our story starts, with a young Dragonrider named
D'kor who will discover a threat more potent than Thread is rife
on Pern, unleashed by a new and deadlier enemy.
