Centuries ago, humanity left the confines of Earth and began colonizing other worlds. Over the course of all that time, humanity split into three main groups: the Terran Hanseatic League, Therons, and Roamers. The Hansa is made up of Earth, its Moon, and several colonies on other worlds, all overseen by the Earth Defense Forces and its Chairman and King. Therons are humans that live on Theroc, a lush jungle-like planet that was first called home by sentient, knowledge hungry trees collectively referred to as the worldforest. Roamers are a collection of nomadic human clans that live off of the production of ekti, a special fuel source needed in order to power the stardrive that allows ships to partake in faster-than-light travel.

This advanced technological feat was delevoloped by Ildirans, humanoid aliens whose primary planet is Ildira, a world with seven suns. Despite what their level of technological advancement implies, the Ildiran race has stagnated; for many centuries, Ildirans have forgone any sort of improvements in all areas, believing their Empire to have reached the pinnacle of its existance. Instead, they've turned their focus to the past, helped along by their incredibly lengthy ''Saga of Seven Suns'', a historical record of anything and everything that has happened within and to their Empire.

A series of seven SpaceOpera ScienceFiction novels by Creator/KevinJAnderson, set in the Milky Way in TheFuture. The principal players are (initially) the Terran Hanseatic League, governed with an iron fist by its dictatorial chairman, Basil Wenceslas; the Roamers, gypsies/opportunistic explorers [[JustForFun/RecycledInSpace in space]]; and the Ildirans, the light-loving, psychically linked inventors of the faster than light stardrive whose homeworld is illuminated by the titular seven suns. As the first novel unfolds, the Hydrogues, evil diamond-ship-using, gas-giant-dwelling aliens, and the World-Forest (initially just a fairly esoteric means of FTL communication) become major players.
As the series progresses, other major protagonist groups are introduced including the [[HordeOfAlienLocusts Klikiss]] and [[TurnedAgainstTheirMasters their robot slaves]], and the Faeros and Wentals, who, along with the Hydrogues and Verdani (the World-forest) form a fairly traditional war of the elements plot, without the typical ElementalRockPaperScissors, however, as each is capable of fighting each of the others, and losing or winning, rather than one always beating the other.

Of course, humans don't share Ildiran ideology in regards to their own race: the discovery of the long extinct Klikiss race has led to the development of the Klikiss Torch, a machine that can turn any gas giant into a sun. This has opened up the possibility of expanding the Hansa's territory to planets previously considered uninhabitable. The gas giant Oncier is picked as the Torch's first
