Those that Walk Beside Us.

Dispatched to render emergency aid to colonists on Encedis-#5, Captain Monique McDowell and the crew of the USS Astute discover that the need for thier assistance runs deeper than they think.

Mission Description

In the aftermath of the Vaadwaur invasion, planets and settlements throughout the former DMZ are left shattered & devastated  –  in desperate need of emergency assistance.

The USS Astute is tasked with assisting the neutral colonists of Encedis-#5 (once a fruitful water – world with a thriving aquaculture industry that several other planets in the system relied upon for thier food supply) with the restoration of thier weather control satellite – network, that was intentionally sabotaged by the departing Vaadwaur forces.

But as Captain Monique McDowell and her crew delve deeper into this mysterious world, what they will uncover will unleash a tsunami of confusion & upheaval as a long – forgotten secret from the abyss threatens to change the very fate of a world and its people.
