Of Smoke and Stardust [[COMPLETE]]]

A Gritty Space Opera:

When Alya and Parker have to team up and work together, personalities clash, and sparks arise.

While investigating missing teens across the galaxy, Lieutenant Alya Nayer and her Galaxy Hawks crew get word of an illegal fighting arena. They head out to investigate, but what they find is far worse than prohibited boxing matches.

Parker has spent the last two years in a prison that forces the inmates to fight against each other -- not for freedom, but for the entertainment of the rich. When the Hawks show up asking questions, he sees an opportunity to escape and to find his missing brother.
