Breaking the Axion

Kaladria Derosena is a junker, stuck on the waterlogged world of T'Lesh and has been for as long as she can remember. She dreams of getting enough money to buy her way off-world to start a life somewhere new. There are only two problems with that: she's never going to have enough credits to keep up with inflation and, to make matters worse, she's Elvin.

When a fellow junker posts a claim on a downed vessel on the ScavNet the moment it breaks atmo, Kal goes to investigate before he gets there. When she arrives, she finds a strange data cube and a ship that looks as though it's been through hell and back again.

Suddenly finding herself in the crosshairs of both the Hierarchy - who impose an authoritarian rule over the planets of the outer rim - and the Rebellion, Kal gets pulled into a conflict she doesn't want anything to do with, but can't seem to escape.
