Rising from the ashes of Clandestine, an aristocratic merc, social engineer and unrivalled overachiever take on the galaxy's greatest scum - from criminals, contractors, politicians and everything inbetween. Armed with their wits, weapons and a thousand hired guns, they navigate through a twisting web of allegiances, betrayals, conspiracies and plots in the highrise capital of the private sector. From the burning wreckage of the Ptolemy-1 Station to whatever void lay ahead, only one thing is certain: The indifferent galaxy will forever burn once more.

In a galaxy filled with chaos, war and death, the banality of cruelty, greed, envy and pride takes hold across the many states and governments in power.

From the highest echelons of the Republic's spires to the lowest of the Mischief Board's strongholds, corruption and imbalance of the status quo persists.

Where the galaxy was once in a state of relative peace, it is now in utter ruin as the courts pervert justice; and mercenaries and criminals tear apart at the core of the galaxy.

Mass naval skirmishes increase tension; exploration leads to the discovery of farm more hazardous threats.

All the while, an indifferent galaxy burns with the wrath of man.
