Samurai Squadron and the Triton are joined by powerful allies as the war for the Rose System intensifies. As Ronin, Dame and Breaker lead the first strike and fade attack on the blockade around the capital planet of Rodus, they prove one frightening fact: starfighters will lead the war.
This is the kind of combat thousands of pilots in the oppressive Order of Eden fleet have been craving, one where drones are made useless thanks to advanced scrambling and security breaches, making flesh-and-blood talent important again. Zealots to the end, the Order and Citadel pilots are spoiling for a fight and will celebrate a bloodbath.
This is the war Ronin and the pilots of Samurai Squadron didn't want, but are prepared to fight. The struggles ahead promise to be greater than any they've known but they won't be alone. Great ships from Haven Fleet, the British Alliance, Nafalli Tribes and several scrappy Privateers are already arriving.
While everyone else fights for freedom, glory or supremacy, Remmy Sands is sent on a mission with a small crew aboard the Raven. He hopes that by returning artefacts he found far beneath Rodus' surface he can bring a powerful new ally to Samurai Squadron's side. No one knows much about Planet Grace, but everything suggests that they have strange, promising technology and they may be receptive to the right plea.
The fate of an entire solar system hangs in the balance as void warriors clash in the unforgiving, infinite black.
