Seeking out an unknown signal transmitted from Earth into interstellar space, the Starship Avalerion has reached Scorpii 18 star system only to discover the lost starship NX-Fearless and it's not alone. An unprovoked attack brought on by a race called the Nodulians launches Captain Angela Joliea and her crew into action as they try to find a way of escape after their primitive weapons are found useless. As the crew faces the possibility of death, the ship is contacted by the Debari who offer protection. Encountering other species of the Scorpius Realm, they soon discover that war has no boundaries when it comes to the Nodulians.
