Definitely a story that I feel fits into the top 10% of the stories I've read in my 50 years of reading. A very wide & well spread out universe with well thought out polities. I was an Army Paratrooper myself but many of my family were Marines & a couple nephews are serving with them presently. If any of todays militaries would still be around in the far future I'd be astonished if some future form of the USMC was not still in existence. You created a quite believable young protagonist in this story, one to pull in the sympathy of the reader. With the final discussion of Qaroniel it fits together very well, even the idea of a planetary intelligence naturally occurring has been theorized to be possible but this adds an interesting dimension to it.

With the way you ended this I hope that someday you return to let us know of how things go with young Roy.
