The universe has been torn into two halves each governed by separate collections known as councils. One half of the universe is controlled by the Separation Council, formed from smaller rim worlds and centered around the industrial and intellectual powerhouse of Servainya. The other half of the universe is governed by the Federation, a collection of dictators and other leaders from the planets and galaxies around the ancient home world Earth. As tensions tighten, guns are loaded, and blades are sharpened on both sides smugglers like Kiera and her friends and crew members Jackson, Caspar, and Crystal are blazing their own way through the universe. As the war begins many are faced with a choice, choose a side, or stand aside and be at the mercy of the two councils.
