Simeon, a shell-person, was the brain behind Space Station SSS-900, situated on the outskirts of human space. However, things had been going rather poorly lately, and he was feeling quite dissatisfied. Although he usually enjoyed his work, these days it seemed quite boring.

To escape from his woes, Simeon buried himself in his favorite pastime, wargaming. Little did he know that his hobby would come in handy when the brutal Kolnari attacked the nearby colony planet, Bethel. Providing shelter to the refugees of the colony brought the city into grave danger, as it attracted the attention of Kolnari pirates. It was only through the combined efforts of Simeon and Channa that they could save the city from the clutches of the ruthless pirates.
