Out There: The 1K - Part 1

One thousand children prophesied to save a galaxy embroiled in war are taken from Earth at the turn of the 21st century. The children are scattered throughout Alliance worlds to hide them from the terrifying, unseen antagonistic force that would destroy them, the keth.

This story follows the frightening and fantastical adventures of two of those children - Will and Terra - who are genetically altered to possess a strange power for a plan to end the war.

Yune Darrak - a lone devil-may-care salvager, and Selka Kelnaris - a disillusioned, empathic bounty hunter - accidentally rescue them from a Regent secret lab. A simple plan spirals into a deep, confusing mess involving a mysterious blue light, a political coup, and more questions about the kids and Yune himself as all four are inadvertently caught up in the middle of a battle they never wanted to fight.

The story isn't so much about the war as it's focused on the lives of this little space found family, their struggles, their small moments, and their growth aboard a jalopy homeship. The war is something that's happening around them.
