A library planet: thegreatest treasure, the deadliest weapon

Earth has become a library planet over the last several thousand years, a bastion of both useful and useless knowledge-esoterica of most types: history, research, politics-gathered by groups of “pack rats” who also scour thegalaxy for any scrap of info. Knowledge is power, knowledge can be wealth,and understanding could be a weapon. As powerful dictators arrive and go over thecourse of background, the cadre of devoted librarians is usually sworn to obey thelawful government-and use their wits to protect the treasure trove of knowledgethey have collected on the millennia.
