Welcome to the Carinthean Star System.

Many centuries after the people of Old-Earth fled their ravaged planet via starship, tension grows in the Carinthean Star System. Resources dwindle. Political unrest builds.

Jax Cassaway, outcast, zeneska rider, and dreamer, looks up at the dusty atmosphere above the planet Andartia and wonders what the stars look like beyond.

Millions of miles away, from the surface of war-ravaged Sirona, a coded message is sent out to the black.

“Help.”
