Fixed a couple of typos!


The [[EvilEmpire Alternian Empire]] has finally stumbled upon an enemy tougher than they are. For the first time in troll history, they've found themselves against a foe that they can't overrun and whose technology far outshines their own. Fortunately for trollkind (if not for the Condesce), that enemy is none other than the United Galaxies, an near utopian society that is willing to offer asylum to any troll who wishes to defect.
