A planet full of warriors and a high-ranking solder during an invasion gets tossed together with a Beata citizen (who have a fairly galatic view of things). The first book she is the reluctant heroin. In the later book they marry, she gets pregnant but a gas attack damages the fetus. The boy is born stunted with brittle bones.
