Three hundred years after the fall of the Federation, star systems like the Tiere system have fallen into chaos. Three inhabitable planets and dozens of scattered habitats all out for each other as they each face their own internal struggles.
When a crew of transgenic debris scavengers they come upon an experimental Federation starship they think they've hit the jackpot. But instead, they run into its AI, which is determined to produce the super soldier program it was programmed to carry out.
Now with augmentations they barely know how to use and a mission from a government that no longer exists, Tanya Loter and her companions dedicate themselves to saving the Tiere System. But will they be saviors? Or tyrants?
