Hyrax, reeling from the devastating defeat of its armada and Enskaran counter-attacks, desperately seeks new sources of revenue to rebuild its shattered empire. The once-prosperous mining operations on Silangan face a crippling native uprising, further exacerbating its financial woes. The occupied worlds, already hemorrhaging resources, succumb to new unrest and instability. With no other options left, Hyrax turns its attention to Tirgwenin, Jareths world, a vast and unclaimed territory.

Enskaris colony, led by the charismatic Alpin Morgan and his separatist sect of Bucklers, is annihilated, leaving the governor stranded and pleading for relief and rescue back home. However, Enskari is a different world altogether, ravaged by war and a devastating religious purge that has strained its connections and intensified class tensions. At the center of this controversy is Sir Ethan Sommerled, the beloved lover of the queen and the savior of the planet, once a patron of Morgan. His path is fraught with peril, as he navigates the intricate politics of the court, wielding his power cautiously.

Morgan realizes that he cannot reclaim Tirgwenin alone and must seek alliances with other factions. But there is a third planet that holds a secret obsession with Jareths World. On Temple, the prophet possesses knowledge of the impending threat and rallies the Saved, a group of religious zealots, to embark on a holy and bloody crusade to defend civilization against the impending danger.

As the conflict unfolds, Tirgwenin becomes the battleground for a titanic struggle between Hyrax, Enskari, and the Saved. The fate of the empire hangs in the balance, and the outcome will determine the course of the galaxy. With determination, courage, and the support of newfound allies, Morgan and his forces prepare to confront the greatest threat to their civilization yet.
