Kepler - 186

Three generations ago, giant seed ships carrying human colonists arrived at Kepler 186, an exoplanet orbiting a giant red dwarf star. However no one anticipated that this one-way colonization project would be derailed by the fact that the planet would already be inhabited by a terrifying race of telepathic shapeshifters, called the Jakko. For reasons veiled in confusing human conspiracy theories, the Jakko settled the humans on the uninhabited Northwestern continent, and began to govern all their external facets.

Now it is 186 planetary cycles later. Meg Denver is an uneasy renegade, trying to hack an anonymous life as a bounty hunter in the precarious human society that stretches across the Kepler Wastelands. While trying to detach herself from her genetic anomalies and past associations with Athena Corp, a scientific research giant heavily backed by the State Military, Meg struggles for basic survival while navigating authorities, political pitfalls, and the ever present threat of the Jakko. She forms unlikely friendships, and finds not only meaning for her own future, but for the future of all humans on Kepler 186.
