Violence rages across the universe. Deals are made and the fate of every culture hangs on the actions of a precious few. While the Triton deals with the aftermath of their rescue efforts, plots brew in the Kahl Empire. A resistance has become emboldened, standing on the verge of fighting back against their government. Meanwhile, a desperate ally reveals precious information, the sort of intelligence that may well destroy humanity’s best chance to defy their enemies. An invasion begins, one bent on carnage and chaos. With the Triton off the grid and the Brekka in the midst of repairs, humanity must find support to meet the attackers or become another victim of the Kahl.
