Howdy there, internet people. I'll be providing commentary on and context to today's events through the filter of common sense.

A year has passed since the Celestial war ended and humanity has begun to rebuild. The Sarkonian Empire, the Union, and Earth have struck a delicate peace as a unified Alliance. Even for rebellion Captain Alyss Cortez and her crew, life on Neblinar no longer means danger in every shadow. Senator Kaska has given up his pursuit. Ordered by the Initiative leader, all Cortez has to do is keep her head down, and she begins to question if it’s time to move on.

Two framed soldiers turned Liberators, an unhinged Vice-Admiral with mass murder on his mind, and a new rebellion. After deserting the Sarkonian Empire and stealing one of their best stealth ships, Alyss Cortez and Farah Shahi knew it would be like this. Always looking over their shoulder for a far-reaching enemy. But they aren't running or hiding. Instead, the pair are accepting search and rescue jobs and planning to take down Vice-Admiral-Kaska, antimission by antimission. Except that they didn't expect things to go so wrong.

For the first time since their defection, Captain Alyss Cortez and her misfit crew of rebels are no longer looking over their shoulders. Instead, she’s scented the blood of her enemy on cosmic winds and will stop at nothing to bring Adrian Kaska down for good. There’s just one little problem: Nothing is ever easy. Kaska has gathered an army of followers loyal to his cause. If they aren’t stopped the impending war might well bring humanity to the brink of destruction from the inside out. To win, hard choices must be made.

A war is coming. The Solaris Initiative is gaining ground, and more supporters join the rebellion every day, but the Sarkonian Empire has major cards left to play. Alyss Cortez, soldier turned rebel, embarks on her most dangerous mission ever: infiltrating an ultra-elite military black site that holds the key to crippling the enemy. With no backup, memory, or clothes, she’ll have to use her wits to survive and stop a madman from taking control of the government.
