Description

For 3400 years, we conquered the Milky Way, ushering in an age of peace and prosperity. All of humanity, united beneath the banner of the Martianist Imperium.

Until civil war struck at the empire’s heart…

1700 years after the war, the Imperium is a shadow of its former self. Along the galaxy’s Outer Reaches, frontier factions and vicious gangs nip at the empire’s heels and jostle for dominance.

In the year 5122, Alexis Nales wakes from stasis to find her crew long dead and herself the property of slavers. To survive in the lawless outer region, Alexis must transform a ragtag group of escaped slaves into a tightknit crew who’ll fight for freedom and a better future.

Elsewhere, an ancient warrior—captured at the civil war’s conclusion—awakens from his own stasis. Expected to lead a team of fellow captives, Jabari Mbaye soon discovers the assignment is off-the-books… and the imperial officer commanding it has gone rogue.

When both of their paths converge, Alexis and Jabari must face two questions. Can the other be trusted? And do they have what it takes to win?

Losing this battle could result in the deaths of both their teams… and ultimately in the destruction of all human civilization!
