Training complete, the graduate student scientists, led by Max Urodela, set sail for their research mission to Marisantov. The combat frigate Cormorant has been retrofitted as the research vessel Eclipse. Staffed by a small contingent of Tal-Kari marines, the civilian scientists and professional sailors must learn to work together to explore the water planet and its uniquely adapted population of sentient sea creatures, marine mammals, reptiles, and amphibians.
Back on Luac, the Taw-re is concerned with the status of their political prisoners, the previous sadistic leadership of the Etali nation. Commander Reela Brader is tasked with understanding and interrogating General Ankariva Cosar, their deposed leader. A brilliant mind, Cosar is playing a long game, hoping to one day return to power. When these two titans clash, sparks are bound to be generated.
Given command of Defender Company, Brit Belk, too, finds himself in a struggle between his attraction for former enemy combatant, Jihanna Tagari, and his new leadership responsibilities. Testing his friendship with Tiv Garnet, Belk risks it all by his intimate interaction with the Etali colonel.
Ultimately, sides will be chosen, with the winner taking all and the loser facing death or worse. To succeed, being shipshape is crucial.
