Items related to Earth 2.0: Prison Planet (Earth 2.0, 1)
Major Alexander Khan, long a respected officer in the galaxy-ranging Internal Movement Control, is now a criminal, banished to Prison Planet in 2442 by Earth Central Government. They dump him naked in a blizzard to die there, after "convicting" him of distribution of contraband technology, conspiracy to destroy harmony, failure to condemn wrong views, and failure to initiate positive statements.
Officially a secret, Prison Planet persists in whispers. Earth-like, it harbors three million transportees, kept down by tech-suppression satellites. But the ECG hasn't visited the surface in the three hundred years it's been sending prisoners there, so Khan has no idea if he will even find anybody alive.
Survival skills and training kick in as Khan takes advantage of the planet's natural elements. Once confident he will survive, he makes his plans. He will search out the people here and make friends. But then he must find a way back to Earth to avenge his father's death, overturn the ECG, and take down Nathan Fox, the ECG operative who ordered his father's murder.
Four groups have developed on Prison Planet -- Techs, Lords, Maneaters, and Elves --and Khan gets help at some point from all of them. He frees a fief's slaves from its lords, escapes Maneaters, and transforms the world of the Techs on his journey toward his new goal: bringing freedom to his people on Prison Planet.
Khan understands that the price of failure is the death of those he has come to love on his new planetary home.

Banished to Prison Planet in 2442 by Earth Central Government-the ECG-he has been dumped naked in a blizzard to die, a punishment for, among other things, distribution of contraband technology, conspiracy to destroy harmony, failure to condemn wrong views, and failure to initiate positive statements.

He frees a fief's slaves from its lords, escapes Maneaters, and transforms the world of the Techs on the journey to his ultimate mission of bringing freedom to his people.
