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 this 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) awakes 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.
Both groups' paths will converge with the discovery of the Iconic, the legendary rebel
flagship (now ghost ship), a source of lost technology and a symbol of anti-imperial
resistance.Facing common enemies, Alexis and Jabari will 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.
