Rumours soon reach the renegade forces of something terrible taking place in the Prometheus system, and they must respond before it is too late.The Knighthawks are sent to learn more, only to uncover a much darker secret, one with the legendary General Rivers at the centre of it. An old enemy returns from the dead to command the Union’s armada. He will purge every human world of the taint of the Alliance, no matter the cost.But there is another reason, a personal grudge against the young pilot that cost him his command, reputation and his life. He wants vengeance against the one known as the Star Crusader.

This last battle will be fought against the mighty stronghold of the separatists, an impregnable fortress hidden inside the Rim known simply as The Rock. And in their path lies a vast array of warships, pirate vessels, thousands of soldiers and a secretive leader who promises a future freed of alien influence. A grim future where Humanity can realise its destiny as masters of the known universe.What should be the final battle of the war threatens to spread the conflict to encompass every corner of the Alliance. As the crisis reaches its inevitable climax, the Knighthawks discover a dark secret. A secret that could bring the Alliance to its knees, even in its moment of ultimate victory.

Nate and his videogamer friends are given the chance of a lifetime, a six-month tour aboard the Alliance’s newest battleship, ANS Dreadnought. She’s the first in her class, and is the most powerful ship in the sector.

Does he stand by and let war spread through the sector, or will he lead the cadets in a mutiny against a beloved hero of the Alliance?

Nate and his friends are expert gamers, and now veteran combat pilots. They have proven their skills by inflicting defeat on the enemy and saving their ship in the process. The passengers and crew regard them as heroes, yet after their violent escape, they are to be sent home to a life of study and boredom. Their ship, ANS Relentless, sets off to join the fleet to embark on a secret operation. A new battle is about to begin, and Nate and his gamers are unwilling to be pushed aside so easily. The dangerous assignment for Relentless is one that will require every pilot onboard to join the fight.The Orion Battlegroup assembles under the command of the war hero, Admiral Churchill.

Nate faces his greatest challenge when his squadron embarks on a near impossible mission. Of the hundreds of pilots in the fleet, only they have experience operating alongside the alien pilots of the Byotai Imperial Fleet. Even if this experience was gained only in simulation. Over the past weeks, the videogame pilots have proven their mettle in battle. Now they will face the ultimate test, and join the elite Byotai pilots aboard the battleship Furiosa. Ahead of them lies the most critical phase of the conflict.A battle looms between the two superpowers, and the combined strength of the Imperial military and Alliance stands a small chance against the might of the marauding Star Empire. The vast squadrons of enemy warships, and unstoppable legions of Techno fanatics, acknowledge no borders or laws. Their sole aim is a cynical crusade to win glory for their half-blood leader, the Princeps Tahkeome. With time running out, only the mythical battleship Furiosa and her brave crew and pilots can make the dangerous run to locate the missing ships. They must rally every vessel and bring them to Helios Prime. The alternative, to face annihilation in the devastating battle that is to come.

Aboard their heavily-armed ship Medusa, they embark on secretive missions throughout the crumbling Confederacy as it wages a terrible and bloody civil war. Each of the Widows is an elite operative, with skills and expertise that command a high price. Their very names spread fear and terror into the hearts of their foes.Episode 1The Black Widows are offered a mission they cannot refuse, and this time their client is the Confederate Navy itself. Though a risky operation, Syala is keen to prove her worth to the crew of the Medusa and is itching to see action. Contact has been lost to the neutral pleasure colony of Teumessia 13, and an elite team of mercenaries is to be sent in.Episode 2Arana, twin sister of the Black Widow’s latest recruit is a prisoner. As a slave of the dreaded Echidna Union, she’s suffered unimaginable horrors during her time as a captor aboard the privateer Rising Sun. Her life is about to take a turn for the worst when the ship breaches a Confederate blockade and head for the surface.Episode 3The Morgan sisters are tougher than any believed possible. While Syala fights for her life on a distant world, Arana faces a new and terrible challenge. Her home aboard the Rising Sun is torn apart when pirates arrive and surround the ship. Though a prisoner and a slave, she will not yield to any of her enemies. As the pirates attempt to seize the ship she’d forces to pick a side. Does she fight against those entering the ship, or does she turn on those who choose to keep her in chains?Episode 4The Black Widows are prisoners of an insane general and his army of acolytes. The broken remains of Human sacrifices litter the innards of the Teumessia Pleasure Colony, and the Widows will soon be next. Syala could have chosen to escape, but instead she lies in wait, filthy, exhausted and wounded. Far away on a distant moon, her twin sister Arana faces an equally difficult situation. She’s been a slave for months, but now she is forced to fight for the pleasure of others. Episode 5Arana might have survived the terrors of mortal combat on Astarte V, but her life continues to worsen. Instead of barren moons and the frigid interiors of spaceships, she finds herself a slave on a distant world. With no allies, and surrounded by hostiles slavers, she is forced to learn new ways to save herself. On the planet of Agora, it isn’t just the people that can kill you, even the native fauna can melt the flesh and kill the careless. As days become weeks she decides that she must escape, not matter the consequences, or the violence she will have to unleash.Episode 6The Uprising is over, and one by one the old colonies sign up to the new Alliance. It is the dawn of a new age, but not all are keen to be a part of it. Solarium City is the next in line to join the fledgling Alliance, and as important dignitaries arrive the place transforms from a bustling city, into the most important colony in the sector. Into this tinderbox come the Morgan sisters. They have travelled very different paths, and encountered a myriad of terrible foes. Yet neither realises that their lives will finally cross paths at the floating city, a place where their destinies will finally be decided, and blood will be spilled.
