Beasphor is a small planet colonised by descendants of Earth, who have been on their own for so long that no one remembers anything about Earth.  They are understandably quite excited by the arrival of a ship from Earth, but the surprise quickly turns to shock and confusion when the ship's personnel are decidely different from what they expected.Although a short read, this was an excellent story.  I found myself constantly shocked at the depths the ship's personnel would sink to, in order to gain the compliance of the Beasphorans, and then saddened at the comparisons that could be drawn with real conquering forces; not only in our history but in our current day.  This was a great read and I find myself wishing I could go and live on Beasphor.
