Humanity’s future in the stars was bought with stolen alien technology.
The discovery of the bubble drive gave the isolated colonies of the Hyades Cluster the power to cross light-years in an instant. But this gift is also a curse.
Captain Maria Roszak, daughter of the scientist who unearthed the secret, must now command the fledgling Polonia Prime navy in a desperate war for its survival. The drive is a prize the entire cluster will fight to...
A tactical analysis of the four technologies that ended the Age of Railgun Supremacy
In 2160, when Lieutenant Maria Roszak's survey team discovered an ancient alien wreck in the Theta² Tauri debris field, they unknowingly triggered the most radical transformation in space warfare since humans first mounted weapons on starships. Within five years, the technologies reverse-engineered from that derelict vessel would shatter every tactical doctrine, render...
