Gasping for breath, distraught at the tragic memories, surfacing from a dark long lost past.The derelict space liner half one side torn away is drifting through the Hellico System, bathed in the Red Giants dim light. Their return journey interrupted by the automated distress beacon, their small stealthed assau...
