comment |
The Lydian Option is a webcomic about a small group of human prisoners in the Eye - a prison in a hollowed out asteroid run by the Tha'Latta, a species that views any infraction as proof of inherent defectiveness. Located in a backwater system, the Eye is far from human influence and houses a small group of human prisoners. When the prison is thrust into chaos, the humans attempt to escape, confronted by a variety of other species let loose and hostile to humanity.The comic concluded after six issues and a total of 124 pages. |

comment |
Hellhole Prison - The Eye, needless to say, is not a nice place to be; between the Tha'Latta wardens and hostile inmates, unless you are the meanest, toughest son of a bitch there is, you'd best make yourself as beneath notice as possible. And this is the Eye after things improved for the prison population, when it was little more than a kennel for criminals. |

Blue-and-Orange Morality - The Tha'Latta don't have a concept of "being a little bad;" to them any crime, big or small, is a sign of defectiveness and therefore must be punished accordingly. |

comment |
The Dog Bites Back - A while ago, the Eye was basically a dumping ground for the Tha'Latta's criminals and it's facilities would make a gulag look like a vacation home. One of the races imprisoned there were the Lydians, who weren't too happy with their living conditions. They managed to get every single convicted alien of dozens of species to focus the entirety of their hatred at the Tha'Latta and instigated the biggest uprising in the Eye's history. The Tha'Latta were forced to vent the atmosphere of the prison to regain control and afterwards made prison life considerably better for the new inmates in order to prevent something like that from happening again. This event was the reason why the Lydian Option exists. |
