The Republic thought they knew their enemy…
…they were devastatingly wrong.
And a new adversary was about to prove it.
Commander Ripley Willis Lee knew the stakes couldn’t be higher. As captain of the Republic’s newest warship—RNS Poseidon, he’d been given command of a task force to conduct hit-and-run operations against Zodark convoys and reconnaissance missions behind enemy lines.
With the Battle for Intus underway, the Rass system—a Primord colony captured by the Zodarks—was the next planet the Republic intended to liberate.
When Lee’s task force engaged an unprotected convoy, it spiraled into an elaborate trap. It would take every bit of cunning and strategy they had if they were to survive.
While Lee was sowing chaos behind enemy lines, the Republic Army was in desperate need of pilots for close air support missions. Lieutenant Blake Cooper’s squadron answers the call, swapping their F-97 Orion starfighters for the venerable flying tanks—the AS-90 Reaper.
With the lives of hundreds of soldiers in Coop's hands. It forces him to confront the demons of the past to become the leader his squadron needs him to become.
