Between Collapse and Control follows Thane Corvus, a survivor of a failed inter-universal jump who arrives in a region of space already eroding through neglect rather than war. As centralized authority withdraws, independent crews form fragile alliances to survive. Thane joins a small flotilla offering protection and escort, only to become an unintended center of influence because of his restraint rather than ambition. When an ancient artificial intelligence reveals it chose him for his resistance to control, Thane must decide whether survival requires consolidation or integrity. His refusal to impose authority fractures the group, costs it legitimacy, and leaves behind something smaller, quieter, and unresolved-survival without victory.
