1. First Command - March 15th, Earth Year 2290
The day the aliens returned.
50 years later, the memories are still fresh.
Of colonies burning.
Of millions dying in agony.
Since then, we’ve bolstered our strength.
Using a stabilized wormhole, we colonized both sides of the galaxy.
It was the biggest mistake we could have made.
Our enemy has returned, and the wormhole connecting humanity’s far-flung colonies has collapsed.
Commander Tad Thatcher finds himself on the wrong side of the divide, separated from his pregnant wife by countless light years.
He’s just been given command of a light armored cruiser. His first command.
If he ever wants to see his wife again, it won’t be enough to perform well.
For even a chance of victory, he will need to reinvent space warfare.
So that’s just what he’s going to do.

2. Free Space - It's not the size of the ship in the fight...
It's the size of the fight in the ship.
The Xanthic are hitting the Dawn Cluster hard. All signs point to their invasion beginning with a star system in the distant north.
To stop it, Commander Thatcher and Veronica Rose put together the biggest fleet they can - a force that still seems hopelessly small.
With that, they set sail against impossible odds, to see if a miracle can be worked one more time.

3. Wartorn Cluster - Commander Thatcher must make a choice:
Win the war…
…or save humanity.
A pirate empire rampages through the Dawn Cluster, enslaving millions.
Their fleets take system after system.
Unopposed, they will conquer the entire Cluster.
But as humanity wages war on itself, a greater threat lurks in the darkness between stars.
The Xanthic have returned to finish what they started decades ago.
The aliens have no love for mankind.
No concept of mercy.
They have but one goal, and they will not rest until they achieve it:
Exterminate humanity.
Thatcher must make a choice.
Victory or survival.
He cannot accomplish both.

7. Fleet Action - The war they'd all feared
The star cluster's super-powers tried to make peace last. Truly, they did. But everyone knew war between Ascendant Horizon and the Coalition of Giants was inevitable.
Saddled with an alliance that seems to struggle with the basics of space warfare, Captain Thatcher must fall back on his tactical prowess - along with the steadfastness of the crews under his command - just to keep his people alive.
But an enemy lurks around every corner, and there is dissension even in Thatcher's fleet. What's more, he knows there are only two ways this war can end.
In victory, or in total defeat.

8. Dawn War - A hammer is made for one thing
Captain Thatcher, the Hammer himself, wages a desperate fight for survival against his most bitter enemy.
In the battle for humanity's future against Simon Moll's swarming fleets, Thatcher reaches inside himself and finds a willingness to do anything it takes to win.
Anything. It. Takes.
Long-held principles disintegrate as massive fleets clash in the darkness of the void. But while sudden changes of heart can win short-term tactical victories, what will be the cost to Thatcher's soul? Or those of the crews under his command?
Long-sought vengeance may yet be had in the star cluster's southern reaches. But a reckoning looms on the horizon, the likes of which no one fighting has begun to fathom.

9. Dead Ahead - And so it has come to this.
The star cluster is awash with the blood of those whose lives have been spent by two men maneuvering fleets like pieces across a chessboard.
Only one man can come out on top: Thatcher, or Moll.
But when a victor finally emerges, what will it mean? What solace can truly be taken by those left over, those whose very lives have been wrecked by a war of unrivaled carnage?
Surely someone will be left to pick up the pieces. Someone with the vision to make all of this mean something.
For Thatcher's part, he can only do what he was made to do.
Win. At all costs.

10. Storm Break - The storm finally breaks.
With Simon Moll vanquished at last, Thatcher's attention turns inward...inward, that is, toward the Dawn Cluster's center, where the UNC yet controls the system where the wormhole to Earth once orbited.
He will return to Earth - surely nothing can keep him from that, now.
But what resistance might the UNC muster in the meantime? And when Thatcher does return to Earth, what will he truly find there?
Find out in a series finale both gripping, and chilling.
The Xanthic await.
