Life as an Expeditionary can be as short as it is dangerous. But for those who can withstand the extreme isolation of deep space, the unrelenting dangers of uncharted worlds, and the constant threat of attack from criminals and pirates, Expeditionary work is arguably the most lucrative contract work that there is.

With 10 years experience as an Expeditionary and security contractor, Riot McMann has established himself as an authority in both fields. His deep knowledge of interstellar frontiers is matched only by an expertise in a multitude of combat disciplines, developed and refined over a decade of surveying unknown regions of space with ravenous criminals haranguing him along the way. He is a tier one Expeditionary, a brutally efficient warrior, elite amongst the elite. Yet all that may not be enough, as lurking along the edges of civilized space, unknown to humanity at large, a starved and voracious nightmare looms with its eyes set squarely on the Elytrian Ecliptic and each of the 150 billion people who live within it.
