Prologue

Talyeer is a twelve year old Mandalorian Human living on Concord Dawn and his initiation ceremony is drawing closer as he comes of age at thirteen. With the initial festivities over with, he must now prepare to slay the most fearsome creature on Concord Dawn – the Mutant Acklay! The Acklay is a result of a side effect from a zoo freighter that crashed into a radiation plant. The crash killed the pilots and most of the ground crew of the plant. The Acklay fed off the radiation of the crash site and the dying animals. It resided in the plant’s cramped corridors and tunnels leading out of the compound.
