Khel enjoyed sitting in the frame of her window, looking out toward the distant city's spaceport; watching the orbital ferries ascend and sink through the dusk's clear atmosphere. The brightest stars fought invitingly to sparkle against the darkening sky, joined by the twin moons glowing brightly with the reflected light of the local star. It was in moments like this that she felt as if the universe could speak to her and tonight it had only one thing on its mind... change; ineffable daunting relentless change.

Mailanis, a quiet yet prosperous world, on the edge of inhabited space seemed like the perfect place to call home; but when it is attacked by an unknown aggressor, Khel becomes separated and lost. Determined to reunite with her sister, she embarks on a mission that will ultimately change the perspective of her life, forever.
