In the wake of a devastating clash with the Iron Legion, the legendary starship, The Last Horizon, lies crippled and adrift, its future hanging by a thread. Captain Varic knows that only one person possesses the unparalleled genius to mend his vessel: Mell, the undisputed master Aether Technician. However, Mell is currently incarcerated, a prisoner of the Advocates, a formidable collective of super-powered vigilantes who ruthlessly police their sector of the galaxy. Leading the Advocates is Starhammer, an invincible champion whose obsession with Mell runs deep, fueled by a dangerous cycle of escalating power with every battle he survives. Though Varic's crew comprises some of the galaxy's most formidable heroes, confronting Starhammer is a perilous gambit. Varic has glimpsed a dark future where an unchecked Starhammer spells doom for the entire galaxy, making Mell's rescue not just a mission of necessity, but a desperate race against an impending catastrophe that could unravel the very fabric of existence.
