In the year 2311, humanity finally reaches the stars. After centuries of failed experiments and trillions spent chasing the dream of interstellar travel, Earth launches its first deep-space expedition. But the galaxy is not empty. When Captain Denver Holden and his crew activate a mysterious beacon network hidden across nearby star systems, they awaken something that was never meant to move again.
Two hundred years earlier, the first human colonies fought a war against an alien force powerful enough to wipe entire civilizations from existence. Their solution was desperate. They built a prison. A network of ancient pyramids scattered across the stars designed to hold back a massive alien fortress. And it worked. Until now.
With the containment grid failing and deadly hunter vessels returning to destroy the anchors one by one, Denver and his crew must race across multiple star systems to rebuild the ancient defense network before the alien prison collapses. If the fortress escapes... Humanity won't get a second chance.
