The peace was shattered…

…and the Republic burned.

Was there any hope?

When the war ended, the Zodark spies—the Mukhabarat—were dispatched to find Earth, to map Sol, the heart of the Republic. Upon its discovery, a plan was hatched, a fleet was formed, a superweapon created, and nothing would be the same.

The calm had been breached.

A new war began.

When a momentary rip in space-time appeared, a hostile fleet emerged. The Zodarks’ superweapon caught the Republic by surprise. As they approached Earth, the invasion force had a final obstacle to overcome—the vaunted yet untested planetary defense system. Would it hold?

Viceroy Miles Hunt had one chance, one final roll of the dice.

Could he rally a disjointed fleet in time to save the Republic?

Meanwhile, Dr. Katō Sakura found something. Could the answers to the demise of the Humtars be the key to developing a weapon to stop the Collective?

Facing a total collapse of Earth’s defense, Admiral Halsey made a final move, sacrificing the queen to protect the king. But was it too little, too late?

The fleet had been shattered.

Then a wormhole appeared—and the course of humanity changed forever.

…But what awaits in the void may end humanity…

Mars and the Moon have been colonized, piracy runs rampant in the asteroid belts, and a thriving society grows in the depths of space. Humanity prepares to embark upon its greatest journey—the colonization of Alpha Centauri.

Then everything changes…

A deep space reconnaissance probe discovers a new Earth-like planet twelve light-years from Earth’s sun. The probe also finds something unusual, something…unnerving. A new mission is created, a space fleet is formed, and humanity embarks on unraveling the greatest mystery of all—the origins of life itself.

Can the factions of Earth remain united, or will old rivalries and animosities destroy the fragile peace in the face of this terrifying existential threat?
