✦ Synopsis

1. The Contingency
No-one comes in peace. Every being in the galaxy wants something, and is willing to take it by force. The Hedalt were no different. They came from the distant reaches of the galaxy to wage war. Their fleet wanted to take Earth for its prize, but we were ready. We were stronger. For years, we fought them, ship-to-ship, until we scattered their forces and drove them back. Pursuing the Hedalt fleet to their home world, we delivered the decisive blow. We nuked their planet and wiped them out for good. Or so we thought. For decades, Earth Fleet sent out Deep Space Recon missions to scour the galaxy and clean up the remnants of the Hedalt Empire. Eventually, we found only ghosts – empty outposts and long-dead colonies. But, close to the edge of known space, I – Captain Taylor Ray – and my crew are about to make a discovery that will change everything. The war isn’t over. The war has yet to begin.

2. The Way Station Gambit
They think we’re beaten. They’re so wrong. I am Captain Taylor Ray. Still reeling from the revelations of the Hedalt threat, my new ally –Commander Sarah Sonner – and I must pull off a daring heist to steal a vital piece of black-market tech from a heavily-guarded Way Station. Without it we have no hope of putting the contingency fleet together and no hope of fighting back against the Hedalt. With a single ship, out-gunned and outmatched, Sonner and I must rely on our wits and unique abilities to outsmart the enemy and recover the tech. But between us and our prize are brutal racketeers, interstellar pirates with no qualms about murdering those who get in their way. And to cap it all, Provost Adra is on our trail, tracking our ship through the threads of the Fabric in her formidable War Frigate, determined to stop us at all costs. If we fail, we lose everything. And this time there are no second chances.

3. Rise of Nimrod Fleet
The fleet is ready for war. Now we just need some crews… I am Captain Taylor Ray. Against all odds, my team has outwitted murderous racketeers and evaded the sadistic Hedalt military leader, Provost Adra. But in order to recover the men and women we need to crew the Nimrod Fleet we must infiltrate enemy territory and execute an audacious raid. Success will require all our cunning and guile, pushing each of our unique skills to the limit. It won’t be easy, but what else is new? Worse still, Provost Adra is closing in. She knows how to find us, and is lying in wait, ready to spring her trap. She’ll stop at nothing to destroy my crew and keep her secret safe. Even if it means ending her career. The stakes have never been higher, on both sides. Failure means death. Success means war. I wish there were better options, but come what may the Hedalt are in for one hell of a fight.

4. Earth's Last War
We’re finally ready to take the war back to the Hedalt. But they’re coming for us first, and in force. Yet the Hedalt Armada, led by High Provost Kagan, is far from our only problem. I am Captain Taylor Ray. On the eve of war, a new commander threatens to derail everything that Commander Sarah Sonner and I have fought for. While Sonner becomes locked in an internal power struggle, my unique crew and I must go rogue and take out the source of the Hedalt’s supremacy – the mysterious Nexus. The destruction of the Nexus is our only chance of victory against the vastly superior Hedalt Armada, but not even the combined might of the Nimrod Fleet could take it down. Luckily, I know a way. With my aging, battered ship, and some inside help, my crew and I must put our lives on the line one last time to give Earth Fleet a chance to succeed. But a disgraced Provost Adra, and her unquenched thirst for revenge, still stand between me and the completion of my vital mission. She’s out for blood and will stop at nothing to get it. No more running. No more hiding. Win or lose, this will be Earth’s Last War.
