I failed my last mission.

And a rogue scientist wound up dead because of me.

Now my crew of Wraiths and I must locate and secure the Golden Cudgel. A weapon rumored to be able to summon the cosmic forces of nature and lay waste to any army. If I fail again, the Fleet admiral will relieve me of my command of the Wraith.

Two things stand in our way of retrieving the cudgel: a civil war and biomech assassins. Ruthless hybrid soldiers made of flesh and blu-steel. The biomechs are being used to kill Alliance Council members and to destroy a nation.

It's possible that we can stop both tragedies, but it might just cost me... everything.
