Critical Position

The infiltrators from the void between galaxies are increasing their attacks. Striking with weapons and force never before seen, they are devastating - and determined to leave no witnesses. More and more races across the galaxy are being attacked by this threat - but why?

Former military starfighter pilot Jeck Murtsharn and the diverse crew of the starship Dawnstrider; DDI Hectir and agents of the Cosmic Security Agency; Shi'tra and the pirate crew of the Ravusqan Raider; and merchant and information broker Avra Pii K'tark'ah all find themselves to be unwitting pieces on an immense chessboard.

They are, by no means, alone. Two very different soldiers become the first survivors and witnesses to the attacks; Alvon Gargarm finds hope and purpose - despite his enslavement far from home; and deposed queen Ashira Aeshar joins the Dawnstrider crew while continuing to seek out who conspired against her and her late spouse.

Each of the players takes a critical position against the void incursion - knowingly and otherwise.

But who are these invaders and why are they attacking?
