A galaxy at war...
Earth has fallen.
Mired in politics and frustrated by inaction, Commander Finn Radko and the crew of the HMCS Vimy Ridge begin a bold plan, unsanctioned by the Commonwealth they serve, to assemble a task force capable of striking a major blow against the ril-galas occupation force.
Meanwhile on Earth, the mysterious woman known only as Hunter sets in motion a plan of her own, to bring hope to the ever-dwindling number of survivors sheltering within the sturdy walls of Edinburgh Castle.
And lightyears away, in a star system steeped in myth and fear, an ancient prophecy is fulfilled a prophecy that will forever change the course of history...
From out of the black,
a great Matriarch shall arise.
Following in the footsteps of Ur she shall come,
the blood of her enemies falling from her like rain.
