Bill is just training to be a combat marine in a war that Earth based humanity is losing.

Before the fateful mission to Takalu, The Calyster was just another Peacekeeper cruiser out of hundreds of thousands. No one knew her name, much less her crew. Assigned to the frontier, The Calyster was tasked by Terran Command to help root out a pirate syndicate that was proving particularly stubborn in terms of its destruction.
