CEO Gwen Iceni was exiled to Midway because she wasnt ruthless enough in the eyes of her superiors. Shes made them regret their assessment by commandeering some of the warships at Midway and attacking the remaining ships still loyal to the Syndicate empire. Iceni declares independence for the Midway Star System on behalf of the people while staying in charge as President. But while she controls the mobile fleet, she has no choice but to rely on General Drakons ground forces to keep the peace planet-side
If their coup is to succeed, Drakon and Iceni must put their differences aside to prevent the population of Midway from rising up in rebellion against them, to defend Midway against the alien threat of the enigma raceand to ferret out saboteurs determined to reestablish Syndic rule
