The Malleus crew—their leader Alexis, former gladiator Sabrya, engineer extraordinaire
Bradyn, and the upgraded droid Torg—aren't fitting into Sylvanus Colony.
Facing prowling Imperials, a looming bounty by the powerful Bukshoga Qlan, and various other nefarious
entities out for their blood, this side of the galaxy has become too hot for them.
With a cargo ship without cargo, the crew plots a course to the farthest known reaches of the
galaxy to become traders among the emerging colony worlds of the Orion Quadrant—a
region under constant harassment from marauders. They soon realise they can offer the one
thing the colonists need—protection.
But when they upset the status quo and anger powerful entities who are already entrenched in
the region, who is going to protect them?
